B12 Supplement

I currently have 50mcg tablets and I am trying to take 200mg. How many would I have to take? ## Hello, Anthony! How are you? Are you sure it's safe for you to take that much? That would be a very high dosage of B12 and too much of it can be very dangerous. Have you been shown to be low in via lab work? How much have you been instructed to take? ## Hi Anthony, I am a big proponent of Vitamin B12 at high doses, but even I don't recommend taking 200 mg per day. It's perfectly safe to take up to 5 or 10 mg per day, but to do so, you'd be better off buying capsules that contain 5 mg per tablet, because if you are trying to get those doses taking 50 mcg tablets, you'd be taking almost a whole bottle at a time! You can see my page on Vitamin B12 Dosage here.

side effects of meganeuron OD Plus should my family also consume this vitman supplement once in a while as we our strict veg and i have a defficiency of b12 ## This is a nutritional supplement, therefore, the side effect profiles of it have not been studied, as is done for actual medications. However, some people do experience some nause, after taking them. If this occurs, it can sometimes be prevented by taking it with a small snack or a meal. And yes, they are generally a good idea if you're vegetarians, to make sure you get the proper nutrients you need to stay healthy, however, children may need different amounts, so you should check with a doctor, before giving them to anyone under 18. Are there any other questions? ## Ten days back, I developed numbness in my lower legs. On ch...

I'm wondering if I could take "Thrive" - the supplement that everyone is taking, because it looks like it's only vitamins? ## I was wondering if I could take thrive with methadone ## Did you ever find out if you could take thrive with methadone.?

Can the tablet containing only vitamin b6,b9,b12,c,E,all type of supplements,omega3 fatty acids,minerals,proteins,antioxidants,necessary chemicals,inositol,herbs,trimethyl glycerine,selenium,etc.. at cheaper rate ## Hi Raju, I would like to be of assistance, but I'm not quite sure I understand your question clearly. Are you simply looking for a specific multivitamin (with all those ingredients) at a reasonable price? Judging from personal experience with supplements, I don't think you will be able to find a pill that contains all of those ingredients; but possibly a packet containing at least 3 or more different pills. Some good brand names I know of that contain a good majority of what you mentioned include: Visalus Vipak, Universal Nutrition's Animal Pak, and Beverly Inter...

Can I take 500mg vitamin B12 tablets for a month straight? On one tablet a day, I had a low level of vitamin B12 due to poor absorption. My current level of B12 is around 350 but I still experience numbness in my hands when I sleep on my sides. So I cant sleep on my side. I also tend to forget things sometimes. ## What has your doctor advised? 350 is considered to be in the normal range, which goes from 200 to 900. So, you should consult your doctor, because it really depends on how poor your absorption is, a supplement may be necessary to keep your level in the normal range. However, you do have to be careful, because getting your level to high can also be dangerous. ## Hi Verwon, Thanks for the reply. I should probably take a test before taking vitamin b12 pills.

Is there any sub. for this pill? l-methylfolate w/b6-b12 tablets I am on SS and do not have extra money. My med. d provider does not list this medicine, so I have to pay for it. ## Hello, Cliff! How are you? I'm sorry, but what you've listed is a generic, so it's already cheaper by its very nature and there are no assistant programs for it. However, if you look towards the right of the pages on this site, you'll see a link to a printable pharmacy discount card. It's free to sign up for and may help you save some money on it. Does anyone else have any ideas? The FDA states that some people experience nausea, when taking this supplement, since it's pretty potent.

pharex vitamin b1b6b12 is safety to take this kind of medicine? ## This pill contains Vitamin B1, B6, and B12; it is used as a dietary supplement. Yes, this B vitamin complex is safe to take; but may or may not be 'necessary' to take if you are not deficient in these vitamins. It would probably be wise to get blood work done before taking multivitamins, so you know which ones you might be low on and which ones you have plenty of. More is not always better when it comes to supplements. Hope this helps!

i want to take the vitamins ## B complex vitamins are a nutritional supplement and, unless you take too much, there is no harm in taking them. However, if you are an adult and take a children's dosage, you may not be getting the proper amounts of these vital nutrients. Are there any questions? ## Is vitamin b1+b6+b12 is good for kids for age of 10?

I have a Vitamin B12 deficiency. This was found in 2002. I completed my course of treatment for 6 months. After that I took 2x more. recently I checked again and found it to be a very low level of Vitamin B12. Previously as per my doctor's prescription I used Vitamin B12 With Vitneuron (Glaxo), this combination of B1, B6 & B12 and my levels were recovered very soon after. Now I am searching for this medicine but it's not available in the market and out of stock. I contacted Glaxo customer support and was told that this product stopped being produced over 2 years ago; no more production. Now I am looking for other alternatives and advice. Thanks. Best regards. ## There are many B12 supplements available, both via prescription and over the counter, your doctor should be able t...

pls tell me taking vitamin B12 is benificial or harmful to heart dieases ## Vitamin B12 is an important nutrient that our bodies need. Studies have shown that it can help with heart disease, by lowering Homocysteine levels in the blood. Elevated levels have been directly associated with worsening heart disease. However, you can't go overboard with it and use more than what is directed, because the can be dangerous and cause other health problems. The studies mainly showed it to be of the most benefit, when coupled with Folic Acid, so that is another supplement you may want to consider adding. Are there any other questions?

The med is the reliable neurotonic partner in the comprehensive management of neurophathies ## This is not an actual medication, it is a vitamin supplement. As such, while it is commonly given, in some countries, to help with certain types of nerve pain, it will really only help if a deficiency in them has been contributing to the pain. If someone's pain has been caused by an injury of some sort, then it really cannot be counted on to reliably help them.

can i use this to help me concentrate while studying? ## Hi mary, My research leads me to believe that B vitamins can help to improve focus and concentration. I've personally used Vitamin B 12 trans dermal patches, which were quite effective and gave me a great boost of energy. Trans dermal patches can be better when taking certain vitamins because 95% or more of the active ingredients get distributed straight into the blood stream.
