For most young adults, the best vitamin B12 supplement is either methylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin is the active, naturally occurring form that the body absorbs easily, while cyanocobalamin is a very stable and well-studied option. Both standard oral tablets and sublingual tablets (which dissolve under your tongue) are highly effective at restoring healthy B12 levels. A common daily dose of 1,000 micrograms is generally safe and works beautifully. I suggest checking in with your doctor for a simple blood test to find the perfect dose tailored just for you.

For correcting a low vitamin B12 level, I highly recommend taking a dedicated vitamin B12 supplement rather than a general multivitamin like Amway nutrition. Multivitamins typically do not contain a high enough dose of vitamin B12 to effectively treat and restore deficient levels. Once your B12 levels are back in a healthy range, a daily multivitamin or a lower-dose B12 supplement can help maintain them, which is especially important for vegetarians. Please consult your doctor to determine the exact dosage and duration you need.

2 B12 tablets contain a mix of B vitamins, including methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin, B1, B2, B6, and folic acid. They are generally safe for daily use when prescribed for nerve health or vitamin deficiencies. Long-term use is safe if advised by a doctor, but it’s important to monitor vitamin levels through regular blood tests. Always follow your doctor’s instructions, avoid self-medication, and go for periodic check-ups to ensure safe and effective use.

Yes, a vitamin B12 deficiency can indeed cause a falsely elevated HbA1c reading. A B12 deficiency can affect how your red blood cells are produced and how long they live. Because HbA1c measures the sugar attached to these cells over their lifespan, longer-lasting cells can make your average sugar look higher than it actually is, even with a wonderful fasting blood sugar of 88. I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor so they can check your B12 levels and look at the whole picture together.

It is safe and actually a good idea to space out your vitamin C and Surbex XT. Taking vitamin C in the morning and Surbex XT in the afternoon is perfect, as large doses of vitamin C can sometimes interfere with how your body absorbs vitamin B12 if taken at the same time. Surbex XT contains vitamin B12, which will help. However, if your B12 deficiency is severe, the amount in a multivitamin might not be enough. I highly recommend discussing your levels with your doctor to see if you need a higher-strength, targeted vitamin B12 supplement.
