Hi everyone, I hope you're all feeling well. I'm in a bit of a pickle on how to treat my folate deficiency and low b12 as iv also found out I have the mthfr a1298c homozygous gene.
I looked at what type of b12 and according to my vdr tag etc it says "Adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin with less methylcobalamin"
Iv never had a b12 injection as my levels were borderline low and there's no way a doctor would agree here in the UK, and iv heard it's always best to get a b12 injection done first time by a medical professional just incase you have an allergic reaction. So I can't self inject b12.
Isn't oral/lozenges better in methyl form and hydroxo doesn't do much?
Should I just take methyl b12 and methyl folate even though it says I can't tolerate it as well? How much should I start with? I'm so lost right now.
Iv got methyl b12 spray and lozenges, hydroxo lozenges, methyl folate 400 mcg tabs. I'd love some advice if possible please guys and girls
