> Recent studies on American dietary intake show that a substantial number of people don't meet the RDI, which is only a few micrograms. As there is no evidence of any potential for overdose (there is no established Tolerable Daily Intake Level), and supplemental B12 is quite inexpensive, the potential for benefit from taking B12 totally outweighs the risk (because there is no known risk).

>Hi Larry
I'm glad to see a post from you. I was getting worried that you were no longer around and I would miss your input to this board if that had of been the case.
I guess you have just been "lurking" in the background waiting for posts that tweak your interest. It does seem that the focus of the med board has changed somewhat recently and the focus has gone more towards the psychiatric meds and Psych med combinations rather than the supplemental, dietary, herbal and nutritional focus which is my main area of interest and research at this stage of my illness. Is this the same for you???
I guess the focus of the med board goes through phases!!
Warm regards
