Pernicious aenemia is it ok to take b12 5000mg methylcobalamin tablets in between b12 3mothly injections? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: B12 injections should be adequate but it is definitely ok to take tablets too- there is no known toxicity from too much b12. For best results your injections should also be methylcobalamin, next best hydroxycobalamin. Avoid cyanocobalamin- see http://www.Naturalnews.Com/032766_cyanocobalamin_vitamin_b-12.Html.
