B12 sources???? / was Update and question about dark under eye circles

[Guest guest]

Wow, . Thanks for posting that. I will look into histadelia a bit

more. On the surface it appears to peg me (and my sister) almost

perfectly! It also explains why I've been obsessively cleaning my

house the past few days, yikes! I wondered what had gotten into me, I

felt like my old crazy, manic self, LOL.

Unfortunately the supplement I bought has both folinic acid and MB12

in it, so I can't take them separately. What is a good source for MB12

by itself? Also what is a standard dose for adults and for children? I

came across a patch for B12 the other day, it looked interesting. What

do you all use? We need something we can buy/use without a doctor as

we are currently doing this on our own.

Do you know where I can find out more about histadelia and the exact

protocols for it?

Thanks again for the info!!!!
