Vitamins including B12

4 replies

I’m sick of feeling run down and catching every infection going.

Ive used first defence which seems to ward off a cold but now have d&v.

my B12 levels are low but borderline so they’ve not said to have any treatment.

i get ill quite frequently and when I do I really struggle to fight it off and seem unwell for much longer than most others.

what supplements do you recommend? I don’t really know where to start. I’ve just been taking a chewy multi vitamin which brought my B12 up to borderline but no higher.

You probably need B12 injections. All supplements will do is falsely raise your levels.

Agree about the injections - my level was just below lowest recommended level so I had injections and feel much better for it.

have you checked Vit D and iron?

I’ve checked and can’t see they did vitamin D. Iron was ok I think.
do the GP organise injections? They didn’t feel I needed them. I might go back and ask them to repeat my bloods again.
so would tablets or spray not do the same job and raise my levels?
sort I just don’t have a clue where to start

B12 was 177 and rode to 250
