[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5,000mcg  of liquid B-12 from the health food store.[/quote]

What happens if you take  too much?[/quote]

It supposedly comes out in your pee.  I over did it and my numbers were crazy high but the doctor wasn't concerned.  I now take it just a few times a week.  But, I use the soft gels not liquid.[/quote]
So, 5,000 mcg liquid about  3 x a week. So what do your numbers look like now?

Do you get tested  yearly?[/quote]

I've tested a few times in the past few years.  I had to beg the doctors to test for B and D.  It was silly given they were testing for other stuff.  I was very very low for both.  Last time I tested after doing the shots then pills I was alarmingly high but nothing bad has happened.  Its worth testing for.  Otherwise do 1000 mcg a few times a week.  5000 mcg is very high (which I've done).  I will sometimes do the 5000 mcg 1-2 times a week or the 1000 mcg daily depending on my mood.

If you are a vegetarian, its important to test as its very hard to get B from foods without meat.[/quote]
