A member asked:
I am a vegetarian and i don't drink milk or have dairy products, so should i take a b12 supplement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
!0mcg or more!: I take sublingual B12 @ 2500mcg/day. That is only 2.5mg/day. You need at least 10 mcg per day, but i recommend that my vegetarian friends take one b-50/day, which contains 50mcg.
