B-12 and D3
Thanks!
For the B12, you need:
B12 subcutaneous injectin; 1000mcg; once per month
OR
B12 sublingual; 500-1000mcg; once daily
For the D3, you need:
DRY formula; it comes in 1000 Units, 2000 Units, 5000 Units, or 50,000 Units; how much you take depends on your level.

for D3, yours is only about half of what it should be. I would take 50,000 IU daily for a month or two. 1000 IU is like nothing. Gosh, you'd need to take at least ten, probably more like 50, a day. I'd return that one and order the 50,000 from vitalady, personally.

Every patient is not identical in the amount of some specific vitamin shorages. I'd still do the dry D3, but at 3-4 per week, and get labs done again in a month. With 2500mcg, your B12 levels will likely be high. but your can adjust the B12, D3 or other vitamins at that time. 1000mcg of D3 is almost a waste of time--won't do much good. My body appears to need a 50K IU dry d3 almost daily. After 4 of the 50K IU per week for 2 1/2 years, my labs were at a 65. Desired levels are at 80-90 for best caclium absorbtion and a lot of other reasons. DAVE

So I started taking the more expensive better absorbed methylcoalbumin and my levels are going up. Shots would be best to get you up but everyone is radically different on the B12
Same with the D. How much have you been taking? I take the 10,000 IU sublinguals I got from Vitalady daily. My levels stayed the same.
If your levels are low, you probably want to take more than that for a while and then retest in, say, a month or two.
I take 2000 IU a day in various sources (my multis, my calcium) and then 50,000 IU once a week in winter and maybe I skip a week once in a while in the summer. That gets me up in the 75-100 range, which is good.
