Hi
Eek!
I read excess B12 is elininated. Recently I was taking too much daily 1000mcg B12 SOLGAR sublingual nuggets.
I simply stopped and restarted on 5 days week. Now down at 535 I wsh to get to 700 at my age of 76.
Are you taking STATINS. Stop.
You should not take more than 1000mcg B12 daily. Sublingual - dissolves under the tongue. Straight into blood stream.
Once you arrive at what you want the B12 level to be... try and calculate how much B12 you should have .. as simple as that.
Taking some meds alter your B12 requirements.

No, I am not on statins. Will not go that way. Since I have had my bloodwork taken, I have managed to lower my dosage of b12. Eventually hoping to get it down to 1000 daily. I was extremely deficient in it and was slowly dying. Was going to all the specialists there are, and nobody diagnosed b12. Discovered it myself when I got sores in my mouth. i know it takes up to a year to correct. So far it’s been 6 months. Tried to lower it before and started to feel like my health was going south again. Knew I was dangerously high, but I am gradually lowering it now. Thank you for your advise in this.
