Vitamin B12
I'm a 25 year old male. I have got my b12 tested a year ago....it was 218 back then. I started amway nutri lite b12 supplements for 3 months.
When I got b12 tested recently it has only gone to 230. What should I use to make it to at least 400.
Kindly suggest some b12 Methylcobalamin which I can use with dosage and time.
Thankyou

Your symptoms indicate nutritional imbalance and low absorption, not just fatigue. Low appetite, sudden weight changes, low Hb, and persistent tiredness often point toward iron deficiency, poor gut health, and inadequate protein–micronutrient intake.
Focus should be on gut repair, iron-rich balanced meals, anti-inflammatory foods, and meal timing correction rather than eating less or skipping meals.
👉 Root cause correction gives sustainable recovery—not temporary relief.

Kindly check your homocysteine levels too, sometimes there could be methylation dysfunction.
You could go for vitaone B12 , it’s in the active form and then test your levels again. Also add a good b complex, trexgenics is a good one.

borderline–low range. Since it has not improved much after 3 months of a low-dose supplement, you need a higher dose and adequate duration.
Next Steps
If levels still don’t improve, please book the appointment to rule out absorption issues

Healthy evening
Methyl cobalamin is available in different forms including oral tablets, sublingual tablets and injections. While sublingual forms are sometimes through to offer faster absorption, but oral dose can be effective as injections for many individuals
Dosage
A higher dose may be recommended because a relatively small percentage of an oral dose is absorbed passive into bloodstream
Time
For potential absorption some sources taking an empty stomach , in the morning before breakfast or some time after a meal
Duration
The initial period of treatment might involve daily supplements
Many brands offer methyl cobalamin supplements
Some brands available in India include
MethycOBAL
Nurokind
Himalaya organic
Carbomide forte
And
Well-being Nutrition Melts

Vital deficiency indicates low metabolism rate
You should work on your metabolism rate. Low absorption is the root cause of the problem.
Taking supplements only will not solve the problem. You are young, better is to work on your metabolism rate. Once your body will start absorpting nutrients from the natural meal there will be no need for any supplements and your immunity level will also go up
