Vitamin B-12 Deficiency Study
I was told by my endo after I started taking Metformin that the medication causes a vitamin B12 deficiency. I started taking 500 mcg of vitamin B12 shortly after my endo told me this. But since I upped my dose to 2000 mg of Met I am feeling very tired and it's hard for me to get out of bed in the morning.
I was thinking maybe it could be that my vitamin B12 isn't enough for the Met dose that I'm taking. I wanted to look into how much vitamin B12 you could take in one day and found the following study which I thought was interesting and helpful.
