What sort of B12 are you taking, Star?

Im only taking the B Complex,with 25ug of B12 (cobalamin), have never heard of B12 nasal, my diet is quite good, should I check if I am dificient in b12, my daughter had to have these injections re intrinsic factor.What other symptoms would one have if B12 deficient?

B12 deficiency manifests as chronic fatigue, general malaise, and depression. B12 does not absorb properly when taken as an oral vitamin pill.

Liver is the best source of natural B12. Meat in general contains the vitamin, as do oysters, bleu cheese, eggs (goose and duck eggs have more than chicken eggs), salt water fish, feta cheese made with sheep's milk.

By the way, you can check to see if you are also anemic by pulling down your lower eyelid and checking the color of the mucus membrane. Red is proper color, pink is low on iron, and white is anemic. I hope you will soon be feeling better. Iron is the cure for anemia, and is pretty well represented in most of the foods previously mentioned.
