Accepted Answer

Immunologist , endo: You appear to have multiple issues which involve the endocrine as well as immune systems.  You need  to consult an immunologist at an university center as well as an endocrinologist.  If you are in the older age group, you need to be evaluated for pernicious anemia which may be the cause for your low B12.  You should be on cortisol replacement. Has food allergies limited your dietary intake?

Question 2

can vitamin b12 supplement be taken along with pcecv rabipur arv? is there any precaution to be taken during anti rabies shot?(food wise/drug wise)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can take Vit B12 with your anti-Rabies vaccine Rabipur. There are no special precautions of foods or otherwise, required while completing the series of shots.  Just take them on time as advised by ur physician.

Question 3

i was told by my doctor to start taking vitamin b complex. i purchased some at the drug store and noticed the vitamin b12 in it has 15 mcg, is that to much vitamin b12? will it give me jitters and cause my heat to race?

Accepted Answer

: It is unlikely that you will ingest too much vitamin B12 because excess amounts leave the body through urine. If your urine is bright yellow, it is most likely that you are taking in more B vitamins than you really need.  Expensive urine, but not dangerous.

Question 4

i have an unopened vial of cyanocobalamin that is a couple years expired. what would happen if i  used it?

Accepted Answer

DO NOT USE IT: Never use expired medication for any purpose, especially injectable medications.

Question 5

does being a recreational endurance athlete have an impact on the dose of cyanocobalamin i should take monthly (have b12 deficiency).

Accepted Answer

You don't say if you: are B12 deficient due to pernicious anemia, and consequently, take B12 by injection in high oral supplement doses. The ability, or lack of ability, to absorb B12 in the stomach is the most important determinant of dose. Usual supplement dosage is 1-2 mg/day. I could find no evidence that this needs to be increased or modified in the circumstance of endurance training and competition. Monitor level

Question 6

can there be a multivitamin that uses methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Why do you wish to take a multivitamin, as recent studies suggest people have worse outcomes when they do take vitamins in that form.  Also, many of the standard multivitamins do not dissolve in the gut, so not absorbed.  Methylcobalamin is the biologically active form, and is present in medical foods, prescription items, but may be available in health food stores.

Question 7

which is a better b12 source? methylcobalamin vs. cyanocobalamin

Accepted Answer

Methylcobalamin: Methylcobalamin is by far the best form of vitamin b12. This is the co-enzymated active form that our bodies use. When we take Cyanocobalamin our bodies must first  convert it into methylcobalamin, so it is better to take the active form and save your body the trouble of making this conversion.

Question 8

can cyanocobalamin be harmful or toxic?

Accepted Answer

B12: Rrely, its vitamin B12 and water soluble, f you get excess of it, its gets excreted in urine.

Question 9

is it a good idea to take 1000 mcg of cyanocobalamin daily for insuring enough b-12?

Accepted Answer

: Taken as a pill this is not well absorbed but does have some benefit. What the body does not have use for on the day it is ingested it will flush out of the body as it does not store in significant amounts.

Question 10

what is the difference in methyl cobalamin and cyanocobalamin?

Accepted Answer

Different forms B-12: They are different forms of vitamin b-12.
