Thanks for another very informative and we'll delivered video. I only started watching your videos a couple of months ago and you have educated and inspired me to stop taking Nexium which I've been taking sporadically, over the past 15 years! I am now 1 month free of Nexium. 💪🏼👍🏼 Thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you for you taking the time to virtually sit down face to face with each of us via your videos and explain this so carefully - just like we're your patient! Good heavens - it's wonderful. My doc is too swamped to help - other than getting me bloodtests to spot some deficiencies - but no follow up or testing to find out WHY. (He used to be a great doctor until the system started crushing him.) I found Kirkman makes a NATURAL b-complex (celiac safe - no cross contamination) that's making me feel better so I assume my numbers should be improving. (I only take about 1/4 of a capsule or 1/2 a day so far based on the percentages it contains - broken into two doses.) My zinc levels were down too, but zinc glycinate has proved very easy to tolerate - 20 mg by nordic naturals - 1 capsule broken into two doses per day (10 mg each dose). If your practice ever moves about 875 miles west / nw that would be amazingly helpful. :-) (Not likely, I'm sure, but I can wish!)
Your videos are nightmare to big pharma company's pushing expensive drugs. Vitamins, eating healthy and daily exercise for strong immune system. Keep the videos coming Dr. MEDCRAM and Dr John Campbell RUclips videos are my go to information during these trying times.
I just recently have found your videos and find them very helpful. I have low Vitamin B test results for 15+ years and also low Vitamin D. My latest tests results were: VITAMIN D, 25 HYDRO 31 ng/mL and VITAMIN B12 379 pg/mL. My doctor has never explained any of this to me like you explain in your videos, she's only concerned with my B12 and not the D even though before adding Vitamin D to my supplements is was the lowest she had ever seen. She was giving me B12 injections but had to stop when my levels went to normal because insurance won't pay to keep levels up. I do know that I do not have precocious anemia as they did test me for that but have never explained why it is so low. I eat meat, eggs, fish and have a pretty basic diet. I have been prediabetic for a few years now but not nearly as long as I have had low B12. I do have idiopathic neuropathy in my feet and have had for a couple of decades. I have no stamina, lots of fatigue, weak muscles and in general weak and have to rest often. Thank you for making this video. I am going to try raising it naturally and hope to feel better.
Thanks, dr. I haven't have time to eatch all your videos but o will, because i have niece that she was vegetarian since was born, her, my sister became vegetarian, noe my nice had been vegan for a couple years. Thanks for the infor.
I'm a retired competitive cyclist, but still ride pretty hard for fun- had a grand mal seizure 3 years ago after a long hard ride, and the neurologist prescribed Keppra. I continue to have nocturnal focal seizures (5 or 6 a month), and have been looking for the trigger for those non-stop. Was it dehydration, etc. Then it dawned on me that I'm vegetarian, and maybe it's B12. Second week with the lozenge form of 2,000 mcg, so will let you know- thank you!!!
Thank you Dr Sung! Have you ever heard of people experiencing a migraine when taking vitamin b12? The form (methyl-, hydroxy-,Adenosil- ...) doesn't seem to matter.
Hi Penney, My husband uses nature provides bioactive B12 which contains dual coenzyme B12 Methylcobalamin + B12 Adenosylcobalamin. Sublingual drops 2400mcg. We have found those to be the most effective. Available from Amazon...I hope that helps.Xx
Isn’t it the task of doctors prescribing medication to follow up on the expected long term side effects of this medication to take precautionary measures to reduce those effects? Or have available solutions?
Hello and Thank you for this useful medical information. I take Vit B12 1000 mcg but can you elucidate what you mean by taking in divided doses 1000 - 2000mcg?
You are the only Dr I have seen/heard say that with PA, the actual B12 level should not be a marker for what is being absorbed. It is so hard to have a Dr continue with treatment of B12 injections, based on symptoms, and not levels. Its infuriating. My daughter is 17yrs old, has recently been diagnosed with PA, has ASD and has had neurological issues throughout her life, before finally being diagnosed with PA. She is now short sighted, she was not 12 mths ago. Her B12 level was about 1000, so now Dr's won't give injections. Im not medically trained, but I know this isnt right and I know her symptoms were dismissed for years because her B12 levels appeared within range. How on earth do we treat this if Dr's are going against what should be normal protocol? Why do not all Dr's know how to treat PA as you have described?
My multivitamin has B12 in the synthetic form of cyanocobalamin and my blood test showed a good level of B12 but I've noticed various symptoms consistent with B12 deficiency. Is it better to switch to one of the natural forms of B12 to be protected from these neurological problems?

Are you able to explain the different porphyrins? Can the body exchange these freely between eachothers / interchangeable? I mean from what I see in the chemical formula there is Heme, Chlorophyll, and Cobalamin, Fe, Mg, and Co respectively.
I am a 79 year old Carnivore female who was taking B12 son says all the meat I eat I don’t need it what do you think? I can still run plus do light weights. I think my brain is in great shape and focus.
Great! I wouldn’t change what you are taking. Don’t know if you absorb enough B12 from the food - this can be difficult once we are not so young any more. All the best to you and many more healthy years.
Dr Sung could You make video for CVD after MI with STENT. I meant about foods that could be helpful to live longer. Cardiologists try to keep silent on that topic🤣
ever since I got covid I been having gi problems and loosing weight , so far I got treated for H pylori and sibo , but still loosing weight slowly the doctors don't find anything but it seems like I am not aborbing nutrients and also if I don't take cetirizine daily y get an immune reaction but still they cant find the root cause ...im just wondering is it possible covid left debris in my system that keeps messing things up ?
Great presentation! I am 55 and hypothyroid was wondering my my Dr. is having them check my B-12. Last year it was 520, this year it is 477. Also my RBC count slightly high last year 5.33, this year 5.47. What number is a strong healthy number you like to see for B-12?
Serum B12 is not an accurate marker. If you take B12 the serum levels can seem normal or high. The question is B12 being utilized. Checking methylmalonic acid and homocysteine would be more accurate of B12 need.
@@DrJinSung I haven’t taken B12 for a couple years since I though it was high. My lab work done this year shows homocysteine at I believe around 11 or 15. Other lab WNL. What do you suggest?
I can't take any vitamins that aren't an A. I could never show myself at home if i didn't get an A+ in grades, so why am i going to take a B? a C? Or a D?? No way I'd get beat up by mama
THANK YOU Doc for being a REAL doctor unlike the 90 % of the healthcare system. How does testing Homocysteine tie into B12 ?

@@DrJinSung I have a Methyl B Complex with all of those.. Not sure what trimethylglycine is
@@toneman8478 TMG is a supplement as well. People use it for multiple issues. If you search it up you'll find things on it.
Is cyanocobalamin toxic or is it ok? I bought the wrong one and now I read it has formaldehyde.

Thank you Dr. Sung! Very helpful info for my health concerns. 👍
We have been using methyl b subcutaneous injections with our ASD son for many years. It is remarkable.
What is ASD ? Autism ?
what’s the dosage? how has it helped? i have an 8 year son that’s autistic. have you guys tried under the tongue?
Remarkable how? More insight would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for helping me decide what blood test to take.
I am amazed of your information, BRAVO🤗
Thanks for your info. I get mild headaches every time I take B12. I now have stopped and my headaches have eased to zero.
How much B12 you took?
Did you take cyanocobalamin? Which contains cyanide? ... hence the name
Good info
I like dr. Jin's hand clap at the beginning of his videos 👏 Thank you for your videos.
Thanks, dr. I haven't have time to eatch all your videos but o will, because i have niece that she was vegetarian since was born, her, my sister became vegetarian, noe my nice had been vegan for a couple years.

Thanks for your great video Dr Sung.I am really glad watching your videos🤗
Very useful, thanks Doc.
Im not sure if you have done a video on Potassium. If not please do one.. Thanks
Older folks need sublingual tablets. Also don't take the second dose too close to sleep time... it is too energizing if you are taking enough to help.
Very informative. Allergy to eggs and do nor get alot of protein in . Not a big fan so Will supplement. Not on any meds . Thank you
Thank you for providing this valuable information. Can having your gallbladder removed effect or cause a B12 deficiency?
How does someone who is allergic to cobalt determine what type of B12 to take?

cyanocobalamin is made from cyanide dude
Thank you, Dr Sung. Do I understand correctly that a B12 deficiency causes high homocysteine levels?
That's what I was wondering. What's the relation.

Awesome! Get your blood tested & you’ll have the answer. If you are absorbing from the meat PLUS the supplement it will likely be sky high
I eat liver everyday and my B12 level was 1200+. I am 62 so I don't think you need a supplement.
Does taking b12 sublingually help bypass any absorption problems , if your low on intrinsic factor?
Sublinguals can help.

Is takimg itin a capsule a waste?
If taking Methyl B12 injections, what should be the dosage for adults and how often?
What level is considered low?
what if one has parasites?
What happens when your B12 is to high and your Iron is low?
2 super loud and obnoxious ads in an 8 minute presentation...
