High Potency B-12

I see talk about vitamins and B-12. I know that vitamins taste nasty and it is good that you all talk about your experiences. I do want to put out a warning about High Potency B-12. Be very careful how you use the B-12. B-12 is good to take once a day, but use as directed. We have a patient that was using it 10-12 times a day, and her B-12 levels were extremely high. Using B-12 (as directed) is necessary for some patients, but not all patients. Be sure to have your levels checked by your clinic or Primary Care Phycian. High levels of B-12 can damage your liver. Use B-12 as you need and as directed, just make sure you stay within normal limits.

Wow !!! Thanks so much for the post Adam. I thought all WLS had to have b 12 suppliiment.

Thanks Adam...I tend to take mine 2-3 times a day. I will watch it.

Adam, I am using the Vita-Mist B-12 High Potency spray now. It says to take 2 sprays four times a day. I am following those directions to a "T". Are you familiar with the Vita-Mist and have you heard anything about it? I went to a seminar at UMC where they were promoting this product and decided to try it. Good? Bad? Comments?? Thanks Jimmy

We have just started looking at the Vista-Mist products. As far as I can tell, they seem to be a good product. The taste is not too bad (yes, Jeannie and I do try Vitamins, Protein Supplements, ect). Again, I just want to stress the importance of using any vitamin or supplement as directed or as your physician recommends!!!

Hmmm...and we were given to believe that they are all water soluable and if your body didn't need it, you'd tickle it out! That's scarey...I am not on B-12, but have been using the vitamist multiple vitamin spray - can you say tastes NASTY???? Thanks for the heads up on the B-12, cause I would have been one that overused it when the time came!!! Smoochers! Arlies

Hey Adam wow.. OD'ing on B12 ? I didn't think you could do that.. I actually take a sublingual B12, once a day, and my levels are perfect so far, had my blood checked last month, so far so good. Thanks on the heads up though ! Andrea
