Normal values are 200 - 900 pg/ml (picograms per milliliter). Values of less than 100 pg/ml show a lack (deficiency) of vitamin B12. People with this deficiency are likely to have or develop symptoms.

nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003... of vitamin B12 deficiency include: * Not enough vitamin B12 in diet (rare except with a strict vegetarian diet) * Poor absorption (malabsorption) diseases (for example, celiac disease and sprue) * Lack of intrinsic factor * Above normal heat production (hypermetabolic state - for example, with hyperthyroidism) * PregnancySo depending on the reason, your doctor may prescribe a schedule that is right for you. The most common dosage is a 1000 microgram (mcg) b12 injection once a week. There are no upper limit dosages to vitamin b12 and there are no reported side effects to b12 overdose.

b12patch.com/blog/The CKS guideline ‘Anaemia - B12 and folate deficiency’ 1 has a section on maintenance, this reports:“Maintenance dose (where the vitamin B12 deficiency is NOT thought to be diet related): administer hydroxocobalamin 1 mg intramuscularly every 3 months for life (standard dose). Note: the manufacturers' licence is for every 2–3 months. Maintenance dose (where vitamin B12 deficiency is thought to be diet related): advise people either to take oral cyanocobalamin tablets 50–150 micrograms daily between meals, or have a twice-yearly hydroxocobalamin 1 mg injection (the injection regimen may be preferred in the elderly who are more likely to have malabsorption).”http://www.clinicalanswers.nhs.uk/index.cfm?question=8552You doctor will do follow up blood test to check levels and decide if the schedule is correct to maintain healthy levels.

If the monthly is working, why go through extra shots! Best wishes,Librarian50 Sources: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003705.htm .

I take a Vit B12 methylcobalamin shot 5cc everyother day. I give it to myself. Methylcobalamin is more actived and is not stored like cyanocobalamin.

Without the shot I am dizzy, less balance, less circulation in my fingers/toes/brain etc. I love the shot. I take folic acid with it. I am celiac(can't eat dairy or gluten grains) and don’t make intrinsic factor to carry Vit B12 into my intestines.

Celiac wrecks the gut lining that makes HCl (stomach acid) and intrinsic factor in the same cell. I also take HCl and enzymes when I eat a meal..

If you have this question the best action is to ask your doctor. Only a doctor can manage and determine a patient with a need of regular B12 treatments. We cannot guess.My friend, older woman, severely anemic (due to a cardiac condition- serious leaky valve) had weekly shots based on her blood test.

Ultimately she had to have a heart surgery to repair it. It was very serious. Anemia is also treated with a combination of vitamins and Potassium.

Only the blood test can reveal what you need. I'm one to research all the reference books before I go to a doctor but if your system is compromised the best is to go to the experts. Good luck.
