I have just recently become aware of the need to monitor B12 and since have been taking it occasionally. I have done some enquiries about dosage (Pharmacy, Diabetes nurses, on-line and GP) etc. and have also never seen or heard any cautions about it. Interesting and it may be an individual reaction

Hi @bulgebattler, The only information I've seen or read is about B12 deficiency and the need to monitor for it. But I did find an interesting article on the possibility of too much B12. I have no medical training or background but the way I read the article is high levels of B12 are not toxic but if you have high levels it can indicate other health issues.
