Review of B-12 - NOW® by veganmika
These B12’s are 5,000IU and the label says to consult a Dr if you’re taking them for longer than 4 months… I didn’t notice that until after purchasing them so I’ll use these and then switch to one that I can take daily.

lulifante Are you taking these every day? I only take my B12 once a week, my doctor said taking them daily isn’t important as long as you have the right dosage every week. 1 likeReply
veganmika I should do some research and figure out how much I need. You’re probably right- I’m sure this is way too much. Reply
lulifante I’m sure it differs from person to person, but I need to take 2000mcg per week (not sure how that translates into IU though, this is what my doc gave me). Reply
lulifante I just saw the package. It’s not 5,000 IU but 5,000 mcg. Vitamin D is the one measured in IU. Reply
veganmika Ah, right. I saw when I googled it that vegans should take around 250mcg a day or 1000mcg twice a week. 1 likeReply
lulifante Yep, my nutritionist and doctor told me I could take 2000mcg on the same day, but I used to take 1000mcg twice a week. I suppose it’s the same. 1 likeReply
