Dosing typically begins at a lower dose, suggested initiation of 20 units (0.2 mL) weekly for the first 4 weeks, then escalates according to a titration schedule: Weeks 14: Inject 20 units (0.2 mL) one time per week Weeks 58: Inject 40 units (0.4 mL) one time per week Weeks 912: Inject 70 units (0.7 mL) one time per week Weeks 1316: Inject 90 units (0.9 mL) one time per week Weeks 1720: Inject 120 units (1.2 mL) one time per week Week 21+: Inject 140 units (1.4 mL) one time per week Dosing may deviate from this pattern to accommodate patient-specific needs
Tip it is easier if you have a syringe that holds a greater amount than you are injecting
AHK-Cu, by contrast, is entirely synthetic
The supplement market offers B12 products containing 1,0005,000 micrograms per dose, vastly exceeding the recommended nutrient intake of 1.5 micrograms daily for adults
Some medications can interfere with B12 absorption, including metformin (used for diabetes) and proton pump inhibitors (used for acid reflux)
Compared to other forms of vitamin B12, it is easier to crystallize and more air-stable.3Cyanocobalamin is usually obtained as a dark red, amorphous or crystalline powder, orthorhombic needles, or red crystals
