Poll - B12
I’m wondering what type of B12 supplement people are using. Sublingual, nasal spray, patch or shots?
Anyone using something else? If so, what?
Anyone not taking any B12? If not, why not?
How much B12 do you take and how often do you take it?
Do you know what your B12 level was the last time you had labs done? If so, what was it?

My B12 was 1286 when I had labs done a couple weeks ago.

I do two BA sublinguals every day, that's 2000mcg/day. I don't absorb anything well and I feel good.
My labs done in June said my B12 was 1672.
I've thought about cutting back to 1/day (1000mcg per day), but don't know how low that would make my labs fall.

I get 1 ml (1 cc), once a week that delivers 1000mcg of B12 (pretty standard).
if you are getting 10 ml= 10,000 mcg B12 montly. Increasing that to once a week - may be way too much.
Cyanobalamin 1000mcg, per ml solution - typical formulation.
