you must be a very happy person who likes to eat... because b12 defiency makes people have anemia and become depressed..you might be eating these foods..Vitamin B12 is naturally found in foods including meat (especially liver and shellfish), eggs, and milk products. Fortified breakfast cereals are a particularly valuable source of vitamin B12

Well, the B12 that they "add back" to cereal because they are processed, is a synthetic form that isn't as easily absorbed by the body...you would have to eat ALOT of cereal and thus probably gain weight and ruin your B vitamin balance...your best option is to go to the health store and buy METHYLCOBALAMIN...it is the ACTIVE form of B12 that will be the best absorbed by the body...I don't eat cereal...All cereals, including organic ones, go thru a machine that alters the natural grains, making them less nutrient dense and taking all the enzymes out so its harder to digest...then companies add synthetic vitamins back...only they don't add all the vitamins that naturally come with the grain.  Stick to whole grains like oats and quinoa.  And get that B12 supplement!

You can take the B-Vites in the A.M..Most do this because that is where You are getting the energy. Just read instructions on bottle to determine how much B's are safe. Mine(Nature Made Brand) say...One caplet daily w/ a Meal (or You'll get jittery like You drank too much  coffee) . Mine has Vitamin C also. This helps Your body absorb Iron better. B-Vites are great.  They boost the Immune system.I also take Nature Made  Omega3 Fish Oil capsules. These soften brain receptor cells to improve thought processes. I take at night, so when I awake, I am refreshed and ready for the day. Get the odorless kind. The don't break down until in lower intestine so You cannot taste or burp or even smell the fishy taste You get when using the regular kind. Fish oil also helps prevent coronary heart disease, and promotes cellular regeneration!!!! 60 soft gels @ Rite-Aid are only $9.99. It may sound gross, but believe me, It helps tremendously. Also helps keep u regular...if u get My drift. I hope this helps!!!! Any vitamin in excess is as bad as anything else in excess. You are wise for asking!!!! Great Luck to You and God  Bless!!! J ~  P.S. Skip the B-12 @ 4th meal because You are getting enough W/ the complex. Too much can cause health problems! You are taking B-12 in the complex. You can also see a Dr. for Vit B shots to lose weight if heavy. My mother-in -law gets these and they give her tons of energy to burn fat. 100.00 a pop though!!!

Try sublingual vitamin B12, available in most health food stores and on the internet.  B12 is considered the "energy vitamin" and may help with the fatigue and dizziness.  I have T minor, and B12 helps a lot.  Regular B12 tablets (the kind you swallow) aren't as effective.  The sublingual B12 (the kind you dissolve under your tongue) gets into your blood stream more efficiently, and you'll benefit more from it.

Hi there.. I'm a Licenced Dietetic Technician. The answer to your question....Anemia is a concern that can be fixed. Anemia is a condition in which the iron count in your blood is low meaning you have a hard time transmitting oxygen in the blood to other body parts. An easy solution is to take a simle daily supplement of 18mg/daily for 2 weeks. Then have your HGB and HCT checked again to see if the Anemia has improved. Make sure you also take a Vit C supplement with the Iron to help absorb the iron. Hope this helped. Your should have more energy because you'll have more oxygen flowing through your blood! Good luck and if you have anymore health questions feel free to ask. -Elizabeth Segler DTR/LDT

I am confused by the two issues in your question.  Are you saying you have a B12 deficiency and a copper excess?\n\nIf you have a B12 deficiency you need to find a doc that will work to figure out WHY!  There are many different causes and it is important to find and fix the cause if possible.\n\nCopper excess is a serious problem.  Again, you need to find a doc that will work to find out why you have a high level. Like most minerals, copper is an essential nutrient.  However, excessive levels can be very toxic.\n\nBy the way, what are your symptoms?  What made you see 2 neurologists?  Are you having symptoms of a peripheral neuropathy (common with B12 deficiency) and/or other symptoms?\n\nSomething or somethings are going on with your health.  I would find a Doctor that 'is worried' and takes your health seriously.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

You should be 120 lbs.........  or at least 100.....  You have no fat to protect you if you get sick.......Don't even try to lose weight...... In fact, eat a snack and have a glass of milk before you go to bed.........

I use Bronson Sodium Ascorbate powder. It is gentler on your stomach and I have no problem doing 1000mg every hour with no diarrhea. I can take even more when I am Ill. I do as much as 3000mg (3 g) an hour when sick with no problem.  I get a 1 Kg 2.2 lb Canister online at Bronson Labrotorys. I believe sodium ascorbate is the easiest on the stomach and is not acidic. You must be ill to want to push that much c so it shouldnt be a problem. If it remains a problem after trying this then you will need to find a physician willing to give you intravenious vitamin c. Then you can acheive massive doses.\n\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/strategies.html\n\nYou get diarrhea when you have acheived bowel tolerance. Bowel tolerance means you are dumping the vitamin. You want to get to the point right before bowel tolerance to get the benefot you are seeking. When a person is ill the amount of ascorbic acid he can ingest without diarrhea being produced increases somewhat proportionally to the severity or the toxicity of the disease. Perhaps your body needs a bit less. I kind of let my body be my guide. If you are having sbowel problems look into starting some probiotics and this may help.\n\nhttp://www.probiotics.co.nz/prbtcs.html\n\nhttp://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/nutsupdrugs/pro_0034.shtml\n\nLook at this website if you havent. It answers everything you have ever wondered about the wonders of Vitamin C.\n\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com \nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.html\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/klenner_table.html\n\nalso see:\n\nhttp://www.cforyourself.com/\nhttp://www.vitamincfoundation.org/

B12 is found in all meat products including dairy & eggs. Indians eat a lot of dairy in the form of milk & yogurt & so will be able to get Vit. B12 from that. Also, the human body recycles it's Vit. B12 & so if you got absolutely no  Vit. B12 in your diet, it would take about 12 years to get a Vit. B12 deficiency.
