B12

I take 1000 mcg as a regular (not sublingual) tablet once daily.  My B12 labs taken last month were 1400, well over the upper level of 900, so "too high".

500 mcg sublingual tablet and a 2500 mcg sublingual spray each day.

The doc said most people don't get the full benefit of the spray, and I have the bad habit of swallowing the little sublingual table, so between the two of them I am getting my dosage.

Labs have been great.  Actually getting them done again tomorrow.

Didn't someone write once that the blood test figures can somehow  be incorrect? Did I imagine this? 

Well, Quest Diagnostics just had a large recall of its 25-OH-vitamin D blood tests.  It was reported in the NY Times this week.

Regarding Quest Diagnostics, they said that due to new equipment and using a procedure that is not approved by the FDA, they have been wrong on all vitamin D tests over the last 2 years and are notifying docs of that.  The report I watched said that labs are not required to use FDA approved tests.

1200 mcg liquid every day.

I take a sublingual B-12 every morning (I think 2000 mcg, would have to check the bottle) and a super B complex in pill form.  My labs at six months were significantly over the "normal" range,  but was told to keep doing the same regimen, since the B vitamins a water soluble and you just get rid of the excess.
