Vitamin B12

Does anyone else know much about the benefits (or downsides) of taking vitamin B12 supplements? I've read that it can help with re-myelination and as I'm vegetarian it could be something I'm lacking in my diet. I'm thinking of ordering a supplement to take and see if it helps my fatigue levels. Any one tried this?

Yup I do. After my operation blood tests showed I am deficient B12 So I take 1 tablet daily. Just from Holland and Barrets It provides something like 40,000%rda as the body struggles to absorb B12. Have found it helps loads!!!

Brown rice is high in vitamin B12. You are better off to get it from a food source than supplement, so try include this in your diet. It is linked with re-myelination, and I can say that personally I fully believe this. As for the fatigue... try a teaspoon of turmeric a day... yuck, but works wonderfully, and if you can't manage to introduce it in it's original form, it's available in table form :) I still have times that I am tired, but I do see a rise in my energy levels since introducing this :)
