Patients who suffer with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can make excellent use of B12 by taking the therapeutic amount. The therapeutic amount is 1000 milligrams. B12 has helped individuals feel less tired, and worn down. The most effective form is B12dots or lozenges.(sublingual under the tongue). Vitamin B12 is also available in a vegetarian form, which is the type I use for myself.

apricot kernels?? never heard of this.
Nice series - I'd like to feature it in a blog listing I'm doing. I'll send you an email.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the series.
Nice article! I've become a big fan of vitamins too these days and learned that vitamins become even been when they're combined with other vitamins and minerals. There really seems to be a synergetic effect and I've felt the health benefits.
thanks for the info. You're right, absorption is so important and it's crazy to realize that a lot of vitamins just aren't absorbed that well by the body.
Hi Boungie, yeah it is all in the absorption, when I first started taking supplements, and vitamins years ago I just took them thinking I did my job now vitamins do yours. HA! Then I learned about absorption, if they are not absorbed properly it's just as if you never took it.
Most American get enough because they eat meat. It's important to note there are 2 kinds of B12 supplements: The cheaper and less absorbable "Cyanocobalamin" which is interestingly enough bound to a cyanide molecule (The cyanide is added to the molecule by activated charcoal columns in purification). Crazy eh? Cyanide? And "Methylcobalamin". Most people have no idea there are different forms of B12
