Alright, I'm confused about all of this.
I don't eat much dairy products and that's a problem because dairy products are high in Vitamin B12 (and Calcium of course).
So I went out to buy some Vitamin B12 to make up for it. I was planning on just taking about 20-30% of my daily needs through a pill and the rest through chicken.
I had two options to buy from... 100 mcg and 1000 mcg tablets. I took the 100's because I thought that'd be closer to the 20-30% target that I want.
I get home and search online how much is recommended per day based on a 2000 calorie diet. It says 2-3 mcg a day! I have 100 mcg tablets! Surely something must be wrong because who in their right mind would take this much... not to mention 1000 mcg tablets!
Am I missing something?
