Re: One year lab results

[Guest guest]

Jerri,

My first B-12 labs after surgery were 145 and my PCP told me if I didn't get

it up in 6 weeks, he would start me on shots. I started taking the TwinLab

B-12 Dots which are sublingual, you let them melt under your tongue. They

taste like cherry to me so not bad at all. The next two rounds of my blood

work showed my B-12 at 458 and 490. I take 3 per day but the bottle says one

per day. Its my understanding what your body doesn't use it loses out of

your system.

Hope this helps.
