A member asked:

Is it harmful to take too much vitamin b12? im taking 2500mcg daily.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It's very safe. If you are taking it as an oral supplement, be sure you are able to absorb it by this route -- many people who are deficient cannot. Your physician knows how to tell. Best wishes.
