B12 and Ferritin low
Hi, I have b12 levels of 177 as I got tested, and ferritin level of 14. I am taking iron for iron treatment but I am getting symptoms such as dizziness, pale/yellow skin, tingling sensation in body still. Could it be due to less b12?
Also for treatment of B12 can I take combination of
B1 - 100mg
B6- 5mg
B12 - 65mcg
I am avoiding high doses of b12 since it gives me acne and so does injection which does not suit me
I am vegan due to being vegetarian and lactose intolerant. Please suggest some solution or if I can take this supplement or not with iron

vegetables do not contain vitamin B12.So you need to go for non-veg diet.Regarding supplements,65mcg is low dose.You need atleast 750mcg.But as you saud,high doses gives you some problems so ,I think changing your diet is the best solution.
