B-12 DOSAGE

[kemo46 82]

What type of B-12 are you taking post - op and what is the dosage. I hear everyone is different.

Thank you.

I took an OTC sublingual tablet. Got it at Walmart.< /p>

Several dosages are available, start with the ~1000 mcg and when visiting the doctor they should run a standard blood panel for Vitamins and minerals. You can adjust your dosage up or down as indicated by the results. B12 is relatively benign and is Water soluble - which means the excess is easily flushed out by the kidneys. However nearly EVERYTHING can have toxic side effects if taken in excess, including, oddly enough, Water itself.

I started out taking the 1000 mcg dosage daily and dropped back to every other day when it was tested high. I've since dropped it entirely since I've been taking EmergenC Vitamin C drink to lower my urines PH level (more acidic) to help prevent kidney stones. It appears to be working as I've not had a kidney stone incident for over a month now.

I take a sublingual B-12 Nature's Bounty I got at costco. It is 2,500 mg and I take it daily. I am pre-op, but was told by my nut that the dosage is fine for post-op and if it needs to be adjusted after blood work, I will be told.

I use Puritan's Pride B-Complez sublingual liquid under the tongue. It is pretty inexpensive. But I also tried Celebrate Vitamins' B-12 Sublingual in Cherry and it was good also. If you click here: http://www.celebratevitamins.com/component/chronocontact/?chronoformname=sample

They will send you about a dozen different Vitamin samples including the B-12 Sublingual for free and no shipping. I asked for the samples on a Friday, they were here Tuesday! Some I liked, others I did not care for. But I did order their 90 day suppleymutlivitamins toady.

Hope that helps!

I am doing injectable B-12. Per my doctor I will be injecting 1 cc every week and if needed I could do 1 cc 2-3 times a week if needed for energy.

I just did my 3 month blood work and I was at 505 pg/mL with the "normal" limits 211-946 pg/mL. My surgeon start treatment if you fall below 400, but my primary is a little more pro-active.

I'm taking the Members Mark generic Sam's Club brand, sublingual B12, 2500 mcg. You get 2 bottles of 200 microlozenges for less than 10 bucks. That's well over a years worth. Good luck!
