How much b-12 should i take?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
What's the reason?: That would depend on the reason? If just for energy and routine assistance with carbohydrate metabolism, then the standard amount on the bottle would suffice. If you're B12 deficient, you might need more.

Depends: The Recommended dietary amounts (RDAs) are 2.4 micrograms daily for ages 14 years and older. If you have B12 deficiency, you may need 125-2,000 micrograms of oral B12/day until your levels normalize. There are also sublingual and intramuscular formulations, which are rarely necessary.

B12: Generally B12 can be taken daily by mouth or IM monthly. The dose is 1000 mcg for both. All the best.
