I’d come home, eat a warm lunch, and do my homework. Then, I’d curl up on the couch with a cup of Zuhurat (herbal infusion popular in Lebanon) and a...

Vitamin B12 query

Hi, everyone. I went into a Holland & Barrett health food shop the other day and asked a lady if they sell Vitamin B12 tablets. I told her I have MS and been advised to take B12 by my MS nurses, and that I have been taking 10 micrograms (µg) as I haven’t been advised on any particular dose. My nu...
