A member asked:
Is it true that vit b12 deficiency can cause permanent nerve damage ? i have 80 pg/ml levels since 1 year.i'm now orally taking b12.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I recommend SL: You want to keep your B12 level above 350. 1.2 mg sublingually is cheap and generally effective. The problem with B12 is absorbing it 99 percent of the time.
