question about b12

how often are you suppose to take the b12?? i have one paper that says 1 time a week and i have another that says every day.. i have the 1000mg a pill... anyone know???

Different surgeons have different criteria.  My understanding is that the goal is to keep your blood level of B12 within range to avoid permanent nerve damage.  B12 is a water soluable vitamin so excess is excreted through your urine.

I do 1 sublingual daily and one injection every two weeks. I keep my levels (lab work) over 1000. You need to either do sublingual or injection to get the benefits of the B12.

I take a 500mg sublingual everyday and have had no issues. If you're just not sure, call the Dr.

good luck,

I think everyone is different.  My Nut said 1x a week and I told her I was taking it everyday and she said that I'd just pee out the excess.  So I've cut it back to about 2-3 times a week, lol

I get mine at Trader Joes, sublingual, and take it every other day. My labs have come back normal and I'm 2 1/2 years out.

Just a reminder to all.  About 8 months ago they have learned of 2 deaths from the lack of B-1.  Many years ago they found out about B-12 and it's related problems.  Just be sure you add some extra B-1 too just in case.  People never really can come back to normal if they fall short in either of these areas.  Brian

I use the Trader Joe's Sublingual 2X weekly and then the GNC Vitamin B complex in water 2X weekly.

Good luck!
