How It Fits Into a Protocol
B12 is usually one piece of a larger nutrition plan, so I decide the dose alongside the rest of the protocol and the patient's labs. If you are comparing options, the store also carries Apex B12. As with any single-nutrient product, I go over what you are already taking before adding it.
