[razzle51]

I am 56 yr female , what should me B12 daily requirement be . I was recently in the hospital and my B12 levels were almost zero . Dr. put me on 5oo mcg 1 tablet daily , but I AM reading it should be 1000mcg. What do you think ? I suffer with Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia . thanks

is at least 1000 mcg ---- 1000 - 3000 mcg is common.

My opinion is that 500 is a stupid dose, because: if a person doesn't malabsorb severely that is more than they need (which doesn't do harm), BUT if the person does malabsorb severely it is barely enough for some to tread water, not build stores.
