B12 requirements

 I've been getting B12 injections, so I've forgotten what the dose is for oral B12.  Can anyone tell me what TWH recommends?

If you use the strips it is 2 per week. Cant remember the dose

In Ottawa, it is 350 to 500 mcg per day.  I take the 1000 mcg every second day (sublingual)

I take 1200 2x a week.

BTW 1200 is same price as 300.

Hi

I think it would depend on your bloodwork. I was taking 1000 mcg chewable B12 every other day (strips when I had them). I had started at 500 every other day. My last bloodwork came in a bit low so they (humber) told me to keep the same dose but take it every day instead of every other day. I am 9 months post op.

You can't make red blood cells without the other components, like protein and iron, so don't forget those either. Best wishes.

Really it depends on your bloodwork.

I could tell you my dose but mine is low cause I have no b12 issues - iron issues galore but not b12 issues. Indeed I have to be careul to not take too much b12.

Fyi - sublingual b12 absorbs better than oral (chewable). And those jameson strips aren't sublingual they are oral.
