B12 shutdown?

[GoneForever]

Obviously with AAS,Gh,thyroid meds,etc.. you can shut your natural production down, but what about b12? I plan on taking 1000mcg everday for the next 4months to increase appetite(and 2000mcg on days im feeling sick) so when I stop, will there be any negative effects? Will I not be able to absorb b12 as well or will my body produce less? Thanks

the B12 stored in your liver is enough for your next 2 years. so don't worry

Except for those that have been on PPI's (proton pump inhibitors)for prolonged periods. They shut down the HCL production and intrinsic factor is also shut down and without intrinsic factor you will not absorb B-12 orally. So if someone has (and many have) been on a ppi their b-12 "stores" may be less.

You will not have to worry about b-12. Your body will get most of what it needs from your diet. But B12 supplementation is not a bad thing either!
