A member asked:
Why are vitamin b-12 supplements only available in mega doses? took 250s, which is many times higher than mdr, now can't find anything less than 500!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may not need any: You want to have a blood level for vitamin b 12. It will probably be normal, as long as you eat healthy food or take one mvi (multivitamin). Discuss the dose with your doc if low. Good luck.
