Question 2

what effects can i expect if i take pure vitamin b12?

Accepted Answer

Sublingual B 12: For convenience, sublingual b 12 is the best choice. Oral b 12 has to travel through the GI system and most of it is destroyed. If you take the kind that melts under your tongue it will go directly into your blood stream and will you absorb most of it. Peace and good health.  Helpful for vegetarians, low energy, more.

Anemia is main: There are many symptoms of B12 deficiency.  The most prominent is a type of anemia where your red blood cells are decreased in number, increased in size, and decreased in color.  Since they are not normal, they do not carry oxygen like they're supposed to.  As B12 deficiency worsens, the anemia gets worse and you get weaker and sicker.  You also have trouble with thinking and brain function, etc..

Question 6

should i consume tinospora cardifolia concentrate, as in 2010 i was diagnosed with itp and vitamin b12 deficiency? does the herb has side effects?

Accepted Answer

ITP: You really should discuss this with your hematologist who treated your itp and/or whomever follows you for this condition. I cannot personally recommend you to take an "herbal concentrate" since it is not monitored by the fda and side effects have been reported.

Question 7

if my vit b12 is 937, are the rest of my vit b levels normal too?

B1, b2, b3, b5, b6 & folate (folic acid), (folic acid) while all in the b vitamin family, are each totally separate chemicals with separate functions. While folate (folic acid) is sometimes measured the others are not routinely measured as their levels can vary day to day. "functional" tests like organic acid analysis are better to test their adequacy.
