Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Another question for all of you out there. I got my 3 month lab results. Dr. Baggs said he'd like to see my B-12 levels higher (they were like 425) and my folate levels higher. Currently I take monthly B- 12 injections and take them sublingually a 1-2 a week. The folate, I'm assuming, must come from my multi-vitamin. Does anyone else take b-12 injections? Do you take them more than once a month? How about Folate? Thanks again (in advance)!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I know a LOT of people who take B12 injections, some of them like every other day. Are you giving those to yourself, or having someone else do them? Subcutaneous or intramuscular? I would also recommend that you take the sublingual daily. You aren't gonna overdose, unless you're taking bottles every day. I'm not sure about the folate. Tina wrote: > Another question for all of you out there. I got my 3 month lab > results.
