B-12 5000 mcg is that good to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on whether you are deficient in B12 or not, and if so, the root cause of it. As with anything, too much can be a bad thing as well, and you can overdose. A link between overdoses of B12 and cancers has been suggested.
