    Hi, I take a good quality Active B complex which includes B12 Methyl, I also use the 5000 daily - keep under your tongue or top lip as long as you can. Isn't it only about 1% we absorb from these? I'm wandering around Paris at moment and been taking two of them just to avoid being soooo tired.

    Any joy with your test results? Your folate should be higher to help B12 work. Don't be surprised if the loading injections (you've had six?) wear off quicker than the Dr tells you they will! Be prepared to read as much as you can on subject as Drs rarely know enough. Also look at the pernicious anaemia website, B12d website and the forum healthunblocked.
