1. Your
B12 level of 59 is very low
A normal B12 level is usually above 200–250 pg/mL.
A level of 59 means severe deficiency.
This can explain your symptoms:
• Weakness
• Fatigue
• Lightheadedness
• Reduced appetite
• Mild anemia
2. Your Hemoglobin 12.1 is slightly low
For a male, normal Hb is above 13.0.
Your level is mildly low, which often happens with B12 deficiency.
3. Transferrin saturation 17.8%
This suggests borderline low iron stores, not severe but combined with B12 deficiency, it contributes to tiredness.
4. About Neurokind Gold RF (500 mcg B12)
Your doctor gave a correct and appropriate medicine.
This dosage will help, but with your level being so low, you will need more than 1 month of treatment.
A 500 mcg tablet daily is safe and will gradually correct the deficiency.
However, in severe B12 deficiency, many doctors prefer one of the following:
Option A: Oral B12 high-dose therapy
• Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg daily for 6–8 weeks
or
• Neurokind Gold RF (500 mcg) twice daily for 4 weeks, then once daily for 2 months
Option B: Injection therapy (if fast response needed)
• Methylcobalamin injections 1500 mcg
• 2–3 times a week for 2 weeks
• Then weekly for 4–6 weeks
Both methods are effective.
Tablets work well for most people if absorbed properly.
5. GERD medicines (Fexuclue and Motinorm) are the main reason your B12 is low
Acid-reducing medications like:
• Fexuclue (Fexuprazan)
• PPIs (Pantoprazole, Omeprazole)
• H2 blockers
can reduce B12 absorption if used for 2–3 months or more.
This is exactly what happened in your case.
You should continue GERD medicines if needed, but long-term therapy should be reviewed.
Try to reduce the dose or taper slowly after symptoms improve.
Next Steps
1. Continue Neurokind Gold RF
Take it once daily after breakfast.
But you may need it for at least 8–12 weeks, not just 1 month.
2. Consider increasing the dose (optional but beneficial)
Instead of 500 mcg, you can safely take 1500 mcg per day for the first month.
No side effects.
3. Add an iron supplement
Because your transferrin saturation is low, a gentle iron supplement helps:
• Ferrous ascorbate
• Ferrous bisglycinate
Take it after lunch or dinner.
4. Recheck tests after 2–3 months
•
B12
• Hemoglobin
• Iron profile
5. Limit GERD medicine overuse
If GERD is controlled, use them only when needed (under doctor’s advice).
