RE: question B-12

[Guest guest]

My multi-vit has 6mcg but I don’t eat

anything that is fortified with B-12. I’ve added a B-12 supplement once a

week. I think it has something like 10mcg. I figure this combo makes me

safe. I know my medical doc does not have great training in nutrition, most of

them don’t, but I did ask her and she agreed to my plan. Just FYI…

If your pill says 6 mcgs or 100% daily and especially if you

drink fortified soy or other non dairy milks and/or cereals you should be in

good shape

I take a multi vitamin that supplies 100% of the b

vitamins. Do I still need to take a b-12 supplement?
