Eat red meat for B-12. I love beef, any cut, fixed any way.
My doc diagnosed me as low on B-12 many years ago. I’ve been on supplants for a long time, first daily, then every other day and finally every third day to get blood concentrations right.
Very interesting that it reduces inflammation markers. Does it just reduce the markers? Or does it actually reduce inflammation? Wouldn’t that be important for heart and artery health?
We take it everyday.
How much in one pill? How much is enough?
I knew a woman that got B12 shots long long ago.

The vitamin supplement I take has, according to the label, 4167% of recommended daily allowance.

Very interesting on the CRP, I’ve been using B Complex that has a high B12 RDA. Giving blood on 30th to check my CRP levels.
In this study, the researchers delved into the metabolic requirements of cellular reprogramming and found that vitamin B12 is a limiting factor for a particular branch of metabolism involved in a reaction known as methylation. Precisely, the DNA of the cells initiating reprogramming or tissue repair require very high levels of this methylation reaction and therefore of vitamin B12.
The researchers discovered that vitamin B12 insufficiency during reprogramming or tissue repair resulted in significant epigenetic changes, leading to errors in the function of multiple genes.
This is exactly what Randy Jirtle discovered using agouti mice here at Duke University many years ago.
“In Jirtle’s experiment, DNA methylation at the agouti gene sites was decreased by 31%. (DNA methylation was reduced on other genes as well.) These results supported the hypothesis that bisphenol A alters the action of organisms’ epigenomes by removing methyl groups from DNA.
When scientists fed pregnant yellow mice diets rich in nutrients containing methyl-groups, like folic acid and vitamin B12, the agouti gene in pups got switched off. The pups from such mice were brown and thin, not fat and yellow.”
For years I had the blahs, no energy or willingness to be as I was.
I learned that I needed some B12. A drug was inhibiting B 12 asbsorption. began to take a 5000 unit dissolvable tablet every morning. The result and ensuing change was just amazing.
I had a condition called neuropathy manifested as numbness in my left leg. Taking a B 12 tablet at bed time solved that problem.
I now take a lot of B12, 7,000 units I think. I feel better than I have in years and do stuff I formerly did not because I didn’t give a dam.
B 12 is a thriving industry. One guy sells small bottles of energy supplement for $3 or so a pop. Red Bull and M are energy drinks and expensive. Both are largely B 12. The same results can be obtained by taking say 1,000 unit B 12 tablet that is very cheap
