I can get my blood tested easily enough, so I can figure out if whatever I take absorbs. But thanks for the other product links. Ideally I'd prefer a 100mcg or so dose and just see how that works. I may have to break out my pill splitter.
I consider 1000% of certain B vitamins to be megadosing. It's arguable if it can cause longterm harm or not (I'd expect not, but prefer to err on the side of caution). I see no reason to take 1000+% RDA for thiamin + riboflavin, or folate if a person doesn't really need it. I'm not saying anyone is wrong for taking it, as everyone has different risk/reward mindsets. It's just I'd prefer not to megadose other vits just to get the B12. I'd rather just take B12 separately.
I am a bit curious as to the cause of my falling B12, as I noticed the past two years or so it has slowly been dropping. I guess dropping a multi and eating slightly less red meat could be a cause, but I was never a big meat eater to begin with, and I eat fish/chicken somewhat often.
Ok, Well its up to you.
I wouldn't recommend you something, that would cause you harm. If you dont listen and you buy any Pack of 100mcg B12 Tablets you're just going to end up buying a useless product.
The ones i have shown you have been tested by 100's of people suffering from ME&CFS.
70% of the B12 Brands And Products that was tested were useless and didn't raise b12 levels. The 2 that was the most effective were : Country life b12 5000mcg and Enzymatic Therapy b12 . And B-Right is useful as a B Complex. The rest were useless.
Its not as simple as just buying a pack of b12 pills.
Vitamin B12 injections often yield poor results, so if you think a random 100mcg pill will be ok, then go ahead.
If you are basing your life and diet of off Reccomended Daily Intakes / RDA , then its no surprise you are deficient in b12 in the first place.
Just out of curiosty what is your B12 level ?? Or what was it the last time you checked ?
And btw, the 5000mcg B12 is taken once every 3 days. This is why im recommending it to you ! it has been proven to raise b12 levels and its saving you a whole lot of money.
Why ignore me and go and buy a random pack of 100mcg Tablets? When i am recommending you one that has been proven and is recommended by 100's of people. And will save you money!.
I repeat. Raising B12 Levels is not as simple as buying a pack of B12 Pills. If you dont listen you will just buy a useless product. And BTW, Im not being an ass, im trying to help you!. If you listen to me, you will raise your B12 levels.
