I bought a vitamin b12 tablet (mecoblend) but it was high dose 1500 mcg of methylcobalamin so is it wise to cut and crush the tablet into pieces to reduce the dosage

It’s a capsule and it’s done that way so that it doesn’t disintegrate on your stomach acids. Because below the stomach is where absorption of vitb12 takes place
