Has your doctor ever told you that your B12 levels are too high, based on your blood work? Or maybe your levels were normal so, you’re wondering if you should even take any supplement that has B12 in it. Well, don’t worry.
In this video, I’ll help you understand exactly how much B12 your body needs and I'll help you determine just how much vitamin B12 is too much. Believe it or not, most of us are at a higher risk of not getting enough of this vitamin, rather than too much.
To understand how much your body needs, especially if you’re battling peripheral neuropathy, I'll familiarize you with two guidelines used for determining the number of nutrients necessary for our health. The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) and the ODA (Optimum Daily Allowance). Learn the difference between these two and the difference it makes on your nerve recovery.

I had to take 35,000 mcg of B12 everyday years ago for 6 months, I then started to reduce it and over a year I had to stabilize at 15 to 20,000 a day for almost a year I’m now at 10,000 a day . I’ve had 5 low back surgeries and 3 neck surgeries. I was also exposed to benzene severely in 88 . And my adrenal glands are enlarged to about the size of a half dollar. It was to the point I didn’t want to get out of bed or take a bath . My family didn’t understand they thought I was just lazy and in self pity. I was praying and praying for help but drs didn’t help . I was woken up one night around 3am to go and research adrenal fatigue. And the video said to take but loads of B12 so I started with 2,000 and each morning I doubled it until I was back up and moving around. It took about two weeks. I was back my garage doing things . I hurt because of my past injuries I’m not on any pain meds and I don’t let the pain stop me as much as it used too . I recover and hit it again, I recover and repeat. I was 27 when exposed to benzene, I’m here because of my prayers and Gods blessing, I was 21 when I broke my back and I was 43 when I injured my neck that was the one the took me out of work. I’m now weeks away from 64 . I still do things but much much slower. But I’m persistent until it’s done . I weld build things do woodwork and I a retired electrician. Each day is a gift even in the pain and believe me it’s painful. Some days I can’t walk , god ask us to praise him even in the valley as well as the mountain top and I can tell you without him I couldn’t make it in those valleys. You would be amazed what he will do for you in just praising him on those difficult days , God is Good ❤
Why did God let you suffer in the 1st place? Ridiculous
God bless
I'm in o😊
Bless you, Thank you for sharring! God is good everyday!!

I have problems having energy to do things and thinking faster. Sometimes I think I have depression and mood swings. And B12 has helped me feel normal, energized, positive.
@H-jb4tf thank you for the advice. I try to eat more vegetables now, becus I hardly did growing up…I do noticed when I eat too much carbs I feel so tired.
@H-jb4tf Not true. B12 is mainly sourced through meat and shell fish.
B12 is not an anti depressant.
At the age of 35, one day at a very stressful job, I suddenly lost the feeling in the tips of my toes, fingers and the ability to taste also having lost the feeling in my tongue. I also developed a splitting headache, lost a lot of weight and noticed my hair falling out. My doctor instinctively tested for my B12 levels. My levels were so low, that they did not register on the test. She put me on weekly injections and was concerned if I might have developed permanent nerve damage. She said also that because I had premature grey hair, that it was very luckily that I did not absorb B12 well. Luckily, after 6 scary months, I gradually regained all the feeling back with no damage. More than 10 years have passed, and I make sure I take B12 almost daily now.
Which brand b12 tablet sir
@@redpepper8913 natural factors is the methyl B12 I take. It's a well tested product too
@@junechris but it causes loss of appetite to me.... Do you have any problem like this sir?
@@redpepper8913 no, not at all. That's kinda wierd.
@@junechris thanks for the reply 🙏
If you’ve ever had Trigeminal Neuralgia, an excruciating facial nerve condition that’s nicknamed “The Suicide Disease,” you wouldn’t think anything is too much when it comes to B12. Because of sublingual Methylcobalamin taken at 5,000 mcg dosage, my TN completely disappeared! It was nothing short of miraculous-keeping me from having to have a scheduled MVD surgery (brain surgery) at UCI in Irvine, Ca. Three years later, I am still symptom free! I still take sublingual 5,000 mcg every two days just to make sure the TN doesn’t come back. Back in the 50’s sublingual B12 was widely used for TN and MS as a first line of treatment. But then Big Pharma arose and… well you know the rest of that story. It’s an all-too familiar one. 😮
Interesting to read your comment. I have intermittent TN and have monthly injections due to low absorption issues. I wonder if I should get my dose increased.
I cannot even understand how b12 can heal cluster/similar.
I use the highest one CAN use without making a issue for the rest of the body .
Because , its not like one doesnt have a limit ?
I use triptan and o2 (8 to twelve bar/high pressure) against cluster /suicidal headache.
I couldnt make it without,tbh.
No matter supplements.
It IS a infection on the back of the eye , right ,so one needs triptans/ergotamine,to contract bloodwessel that is swollen ...i think?
Its the only thing that work for me. Even strong petidin/ketamin/morphin wont help.
I have tryed everything ,im sure. All neuralgica medication,supplements,botox ,nerve blokade's (waist of time). I have been offered surgery,but the high risc surgery dont often work,so...
I thought everyone with this type of headache get high pressure high bar o2 ? And nausia medication ,of course.
This type of headache is easy to spot,it makes one eye deep,bright red and swollen,and tears will flow ,constantly (and nose will run,at the same side). The patient cannot lie still , like people with migraine will do.
Its a horrible state . But it MIGHT disapear, or at least become a rare thing . So, cross fingers !
One can get nerve damage, higher risc of blood clogs and lung cancer , anemia , and so on, with to much b12.
I DO fet you want to take your chance,if your life is filled with those seizuers ,tho. They can destroy lifes,and they do. I know.
But i still wonder , dont you have ANY help from 02(it HAS to be with pressure mask,and at least 8 bar for 15 minutes, or it wont work. Normal is 2 bar ,or so...,it IS a lot. But it has to be. I use 10 bar, so i empty a bottle very fast. Has to have those big ones! ).
You dont use ANY other help for your seizuers?
Awww yes, big pharma!! That's wonderful that they gave you 5, 000mcg of B12. When they treat cyanide poisoning or malaria they give people 10,000 times the amount of B12 every day until they're better. 10,000 times. Congratulation on finding the help you needed.
I got rid of my trigeminal neuralgia with acupuncture
Thank you once again Dr Omole on RUclips for this information. Since following you (for some years now), my kidney stage results has decrease from stage 3 to stage 1. You saved me from dialysis. Thank you and please keep the videos coming!! God Bless...
I started with 1000mcg Methylcobalamin, it was ok, a nice boost to me day. But recently I found some 5,000mcg that dissolve under your tongue. I take them after breakfast and boom I am energized. I am recovering my an illness that prevented me from my daily three mile walk for 5 months, now I am quickly working my way back.
@@kennethward4985 what brand please?
What was the make/brand of the 5,000mcg one please?
When I was 65 my primary car physician during an annual health visit did a quick sensation check on the bottom of my feet. I could not feel it. My B12 blood test was normal although on the low end of normal. She recommended take a B12 supplement with 2000 mg. I did and within 6 days my feet had returned to pretty normal sensation. They continued to improve for more than six months. I continued taking B12 and will for the rest of my life.
mg or mcg?
I have ideopathic peripheral neuropathy and also had normal b12 levels but low normal. I’ve been taking 2000 mcg of b12 daily for 3 weeks now and my symptoms have diminished significantly. I found this through my own research. My neurologist never mentioned it.
@@SD-co9xe I'm glad to hear that. My chiropractor told me to take vitamin B. I bought a B complex that had only 100 mcg of B12. After further research, I realized I could probably use more. Do you take 2000 mcg all at once or split it up during the day, taking 1000 mcg of B12 at different times of the day?
All at once. My GP says it’s a water soluble vitamin so low to no risk of too much.
got to be mcg @@goldenarm2118
I am 65 and eat very little meat. I just bought B12 supplements today and so glad I came to this channel. I plan on starting with 1000 mcg daily.
Make sure it is the Methycobalamine variant and not Cynacobalamine variant. Later one is poisonous at high doses.
@@free_soul9154
Adenosylcobalamin is another form of vitamin B12 that is bioavailable.
@@free_soul9154better yet get a mTHFR test/homocysteine levels. Everyone is different Methylated B's has negative sides for me.
Un methylated b complex is great for an over methylator because of the gradual conversion.

Thank you tons and bunches doc for being informative and caring. I'm pushing the subscribe button now. Quality of life is my goal as a senior citizen, and so much information is vague at best. Thank you for the heads-up
Thanks for clarifying the issues with B12 minimum and ODA it was very helpful! I did not know the relationship with nerves and B12 with which I have a problem, and know now to increase the dosage!
Thank you for this information and explaining the risks and benefits. My doctor doesn't think B12 levels are not a big deal so I am in this on my own. YT vids are helpful but reading the research lit answers many of the questions you have answered. Again, thank you.
Many physicians are not dialed into supplements as essential to older people. They like medicine to treat your high illness, like blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.
Excellent valuable information. Thank you for educating people with the truth to achieve optimal health.
Thank you so very much, Rich. We truly appreciate the feedback and kind words. Have a wonderful day!
Answer to prayer. I recently had routine blood work completed. B12 Results @ 1,383, and i was concerned it is too high. From what i gathered from your post is that my body is in an optimal state of repair. It now makes sense for the less inflammation, more energy ( I can go more than 3 hours cleaning) etc.
Thank you kindly. 🎉🙌
My husband’s just came back high too, over 1,100. So sounds like we shouldn’t worry. He was taking Nerve support and Bcomplex.
@@windy42305It’s very common to have high serum B12 when you have a B1 deficiency. If he’s deficient in B1 he can have sufficient and also high serum B12 without utilizing it, a so called functional B12 deficiency. I would definitely add some more B1 supplements like Benfothiamine 3-400mg to my routine if I were him. The B-complex is not enough if he’s deficient in B1.
This information is so important. Thank you Doctor 🙏🏼
Thank you I was taking about 10,000mcg per tab I two little tablets because I needed the energy without taking caffeine. I was worried I would might be taking too much. Thank you again.
very useful information. thanks a lot, Dr.
Thank you so much for the information, that’s a concern I’ve been having since my conventional doctor can’t even address after taking my blood work.
Jeffrey Rodriguez So Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

Wow I was worried that my 21 mcg daily B12 intake was too high, but that is definitely not the case!!!
Hmmm, this is information I have been waiting for, dunno how the YT algo knew I wanted to know more about Neuropathy but here we are.
So glad you found us. Welcome to our tribe!
Thank you! Im recovering from a long period of extreme Stress and have been taking B12vand Benfotiamine...i will increase the B12 now!😊
Thanks so much Doc.God bless you for the informative videos . l fee better any time l take B12 supplements but l still feel numbness in my feet and hands .
Thank you so much for all your blessings and good job 👏 🙏
Thanks for making this video, I was about to purchase Nuphoria Gold for neuropathy and saw it had 125,000% RDA of Vit B12 and was concerned, this video cleared that up.
Arturo So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the rule of dosage.
Didn't know there is a optimal health dosage
required.
Enjoyed your presentation on B12. Very precise and to the point. Especially like that you had all the numbers to go with your recommendations. What is one of best supplements of B12 on market. Some brands use fillers and that item not as true to work as other purer supplements. Thank you for your advise.
Thanks for your time and advice .
My pleasure. I'm glad this information is helpful. Blessings.
Thank you for this helpful video! I was low on B12 off and on mostly off. Been on it idk for one year consistent and prior a little. My recent bloodwork showed high but now I want to discuss this info with my neurologist perhaps we may still need to increase it. And I’ll mention this to my cardiologist/and neurologist for the brain. I had a stroke on New Year’s Eve 2023 at 56 I was taken aback by this. I may actually need more B12 as I suffer now from neuropathy of the feet. Thanks again for this helpful video!
Low B12 can cause high homocysteine levels.
High homocysteine is related to heart attack, stroke, cancer.
I had a heart attack, I can't prove it but it is very likely that I had high homocysteine.
I had to find out everything about homocysteine on my own, no one in the hospital nor any cardiologist afterward told me about it.
I read the story of Dr. Kilmer S. McCully and from that reading I began to read a lot about homocysteine, vitamin B12 and diseases.
Regarding neuropathies, Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency can also cause them.
Since I take 1000 mcg of B12 and 100 mg of B1 a day I am a different person.
Thank you Dr. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your teaching to me who’s have no idea how much more I can take.
Thank you Doc, I’ve subscribed with your channel last week, didn’t have time to watch, till now and will be watching more of your videos thanks 😊 🙏
Thanks so much Dang. Welcome to the Nuphoria family. 💖😁
Someone in the comments was asking if there was more pain as neuropathy healed. Unknown if this is universal, but in 2010 I suffered from Guillain Barré Syndrome (Miller Fisher Variant) and had a lot of neuropathy in hands and feet, plus a few other places. I took benfotiamine and methyl B12, along with some other nutrients. The onset was in May and I only got rid of the double vision in mid-July. Neuropathy in my hands kept me from working till mid-October, when I was able to start again even though I still had some neuropathy. I have just a few small places left. I did not suffer pain as the nerves healed, though they did so very slowly. I could not tell that there was any improvement day by day, but if I looked back a week I could see the progress. This RUclips makes me wonder if I could rid myself of the last couple of places by doubling or quadrupling my intake, which has been 1 mb. of methyl B12 a day, sublingual. I also was easily confused and sometimes anxious for over a year, even as I seemed to have recovered, which suggests to me that it took awhile for the myelin sheath in my brain to heal.
hello, were you on any prescription drugs to help with the pain during this time?
Thank you for this information.

This is an awesome video. And I am SO GLAD I stumbled across it. I was researching a prep used for vertigo, and got more info that I needed because my husband has recently dianosed dementia, at 83. The meds for dementia have horrible side effects, and I took him off them pronto. I am convinced now, that the tiny dose of B12, that the NP recommended was a moot point, especially because she failed him at every turn, saying that his 104 weight, down from 140 was nothing to worry about. It turned out to be colon cancer. I got another opinion. Now, his memory is so short, and he gets lost if he has to make more than one turn, so now, I do EVERYTHING. l fully intend to put him on a high dose of B12, and a prep, I looked into for my vertigo has a high dose. I have him on MCT oil, and Benfotiamine3, and D3, 4,ooo, plus k2. Other than the memory and directional issues, he does very well. Gets wholesome food, and good sleep, and, even though he still complains of our long walks when we were dating, I see that he does get enough walking LOL Thank you SO much, Dr., I will subscribe!

AMAZING THANK YOU
GREAT!! You just answered my questions! I have internal vibration (getting worst everyday) and it could be due to nerve damage.

did u take it? what happened?
@@Lauren-vd4qe I started 8 days ago and I already see a big difference...I almost have no vibration during the day and at night it's like 30% of what it was at the worst. I keep taking them for 4 months because there is a warning on the bottle saying to check with my doctor after 4 months. :-)
@@andredemers69 and avoid coffee and alcohol, they DRIVE all the B vitamins OUT of your body very aggressively but no doc will ever tell you that.

I have high homocysteine due to homozygous MTHFR mutation. High doses of methylcobalamin were prescribed, but a few months later I had odd symptoms, including strange aches and muscle pains, brain fog and terrible insomnia. Soon after, I broke out in a bright red, full-body rash that lasted several days. The high-dose B12 was the only recent change I had made, and it turns out I am allergic to cobalt. This also explained a decades-long reaction I had had to certain types of eye makeup, which caused oozing, painful rashes. I always thought some unknown red pigment was to blame, but it was blue from cobalt. Skin rashes are one thing, but the full-body and brain problems I had with high doses of methylated B-12 were debilitating. So it's not correct to say it is completely safe at high doses. A small percentage of us will have an allergic reaction
sounds like a result of long exposure to toxic makeup
@@Lauren-vd4qe no, I haven't worn eye makeup in many years. When it used to happen with certain colors, years ago, the reaction was almost immediate. The recent illness and rash occurred after starting a high dose of B12 and it resolved a couple weeks after stopping it. If you don't believe it's possible to have such a reaction to B12 or an allergy to cobalt, look it up rather than diagnosing a stranger from afar
@@darlafitzpatrick8770 oh i think its possible dont misunderstand me.
B12 became extremely high after taking a strong dose for a short time. During seizures, I experienced a fast heart rate, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating and almost went into cardiac arrest a couple of times. My liver and kidney numbers were also extremely high.
@@Me-555 Yikes! My reaction was weird and very unpleasant, but nothing like that. Doctors need to realize B12 supplements can harm some people and more is not always better.
Very informative video
Thank you so much! Truly appreciate it!
Thanks a lot !

You are so welcome! Blessings
Your work is excellent, but can you say the optimum blood levels for a person with neuropathy ?
Thank You !!!
Very informative 👈😎
Very interesting.
Great helpful
Thanks DR
Thank you Dr for the great informative info. I ordered B12 Mythoclobomin but it was 5000 mg, am I good top continue with this dose?
Most people don't have a problem with knowing how much to take. Their problem is that they use the doctor's Serum B12 test results to tell them if they are okay. They do this without knowing the Methionine Cycle the Folate Cycle and the MS enzyme that connects them. If more doctors performed MMA and Hyc tests rater than an almost useless Serum B12 test, they would have a much better idea of their Methylation and Transsulphuration status, which is what it's all about.
Thanks for this insight.
Thank you..God bless you.
You're so welcome!
I have been searching for the safe amounts of B12 for the last two weeks after suffering for four months with an undiagnosed peripheral neuropathy after my road accident that also injured my liver and rib fracture.
Thank you, I always hesitated, how much should I take Vit. B12. It is so important, that there is not too high a dose, because we can urinate the exceeded dosage. 💌
I can’t thank you enough!
I was concerned if I’m dose myself too much B12, sounds like I’m ok!

Thank U so much 👍😊
I have severe lumbar spinal stenosis and carpal tunnel syndrome and white matter disease. And had VSL weight loss surgery. Hypothyroidism,hypertension, and MOBITZ TWO 2nd degree heart block. So I take double strength multivitamins on recommendation of my bariatric surgeon
I managed to get B vitamin poisonoing from drinking 1 - 2 cans of RedBull for half a year because it helped me when I had extremely low hemoglobin in the blood. It took 4 months of no more energy drinks before I started to feel normal again, it was absolutely horrible feeling sick and nauseous with only a few hours a sleep every night for months. But doctors say my kidneys have reduced function.
The B12 in energy drinks is the artificial B12. Cyanocomalamin. That's the one everyone should avoid
Synthetic b12 and high sugar or artificial sweetner garbage ingredients
Thank you very much for getting this message out there. Is extremely difficult for patients to combat this silly misconception that doctors have about B12 overdosing. I have severe neuropathy in my feet and legs so I've been injecting two ml a day instead of one. But I would like to even do more. My feet hurt so bad. I'm going to watch your other video as well that you mentioned at the end of this video to see if I can fix my feet. Keep debunking these misconceptions of B12. Something needs to change so we can buy B12 ampoules OTC in the US and UK.
Could you maybe talk about subacute combined degeneration caused by B12 deficiency/PA and what can be done to fix the nerve damage? That would be a great video. Thanks so much
Et to the point
This is confusing. "Et" doesn't have any meaning that fits this sentence, yet someone liked it. ??
any change in your neuropathy after mega doses of b12
@@nageshnimbalkar4091 Well, it's a little hard to say. But I like to think it is, even if it's just a little bit. It seems when I'm in a flare-up, if I inject B12 directly into my thigh instead of my belly where it has to kind of get through some fat, I think if I inject it directly into my leg it's got a better chance of reaching areas of the lower extremities. And I'd like to think that it does relieve my feet from excruciating pain but doesn't eliminate it all together and it just comes right back If I skip a day. Without it, it would get worse So if nothing else it's keeping it from being like it was last year where I was crawling on the ground because I couldn't walk. It is excruciating and it's one of my worst issues from pernicious anemia. I wish I knew how to help it because it's debilitating in its running my life. B12 is all I have and I'm all I have, because doctors know nothing about this. They go home at the end of the day and don't have to worry about it but I have to live with it every second of the day and it's extremely excruciating It's a terrible disease and doctors don't know anything about it. I feel like I have nowhere to turn but myself. Thank goodness for B12 because it's all I have and at least I'm still alive, but I'm not living that's for sure, because of neuropathy. I wish I had a better answer for you. But all I can say is without B12 I would be in a wheelchair. So whatever I'm doing it's at least keeping me from that.
Thanks doctor.❤
natalya trams You are so very welcome!
The "carriers protein" is the key cell to bind the B12 is then carried by the red blood cells distributed to relevant organs throughout the whole body as required. B12 is very depended by carriers protein cell !!!
Awesome video… way more informative than any neurologist I’ve seen has been.
… a few questions… what would be a revolutionary subject to make a video addressing would be… what damaged nerves feel like if they’re healing (regenerating). I would imagine it’s a slow process. While making all the lifestyle changes to heal, does one have pain for months or years and wake up one day and the pain is gone? Does the discomfort fade very slowly from severe to mild to hardly noticeable? Does the pain (discomfort) SEEM to get worse before it gets better? Does the healing from nerve damage literally happen in reverse (as in if it started in the toes and made it to the calves, then the healing from it feel like it started in calves and ended in the toes)? Is healing from nerve damage as individualized as the suffering from it is?
Hope you all consider this for a video subject. I can’t find anything on the internet; only material explaining the progression of the disease.
Thank you very much.
WOW!!! This would make an incredible video. These are all the questions we get asked. I can't believe we hadn't thought about it, but so glad that you did. This is definitely going on our production schedule. We'll try to get this out in June's production. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
@@NerveDoctors Thanks again for the quick response; can't hardly wait.
The pain for me feels like my legs are on fire or burned.
@@NerveDoctors got any details on "Intrinsic Factor" & B-12?
@@1truthseeking8 taking methyl B12 as a sublingual tablet bypasses the stomach absorption and therefore the need for intrinsic factor. It goes straight into the veins under the tongue.
thank you
Omg! Thank you. I have been taking 5000mcg I'm 75 with heart tissues. I took that dose for years...my Dr took b12 test and said I had too much..I went on a much lower dose and felt worse..I'm back on my 5000mcg...but it will take time to make me to feel better.
So you are looking for some excuses and support to justify your unusual intake that your own doctor said no good, instead of trusting the work of thousands of experts who set the guidelines and normal range of blood levels of B12?
@@hn5460 In the UK many doctors do not care about anyone that starts using supplements - if there is no money in it for big pharma then doctors will down-play it big time. We do not even get B12 or pretty much any of these values in our blood tests here :(
Doctors aren’t educated in natural supplements. Only chemical medicines. 🤨
Don't take B12 supplements but my B12 levels are always high. Recent blood test showed 808 pg/ml. Lab range was 197-771. Doctor said asked if I took a supplement or more likely due to a high protein diet.
Thank you Dr.
Zafar Maher You are so very welcome!
B12 is doubtless relatively safe in big doses, however in large doses if you are otherwise already healthy it can give you difficulties focusing your attention due to excess energy. I am not sure about B12 to treat peripheral neuropathy (if it is caused by excesses of minerals or excess Vitamin B6, ALA is a better treatment to remove the excess from your system which will lead to healing). Excess B12 may feel a little similar to taking excess Iron. B12 isn't a catch all for fatigue, you need to ensure you have adequate levels of vitamin E, folic acid(Folate), magnesium and iron for that (folic acid has some similar impacts on the body to B12 so getting the right combination of the two is important, excess of either can mask deficiencies in the other). Vitamin B6 is also important in small doses, however if you are taking more than 12mg per day from all supplements you are probably overdosing (I take 6mg myself) and may be causing peripheral neuropathy (impact is gradual over time). IF you 'need' more than 150mcg B12 a day and you are not unfit chances are B12 is not your problem unless you have a medical condition that your doctor advises is best treated with B12.
