Hi

Almost all B12 supplements have 400ug or more, which is a lot more than the RDA. Most of them, (tried methylcobalamin only) seem to break me out.

Cyanocobalamin(heard not good to take) in nature made stress b complex, very less (12ucg) does not break me out. The amount seems very less for someone who was diagnosed deficient.

I do not know if it is the amount or type which is breaking me out.

Please give suggestions of b complex or b12 which you guys take without any issues.

Also heard about Hydroxycobalamin which is expensive, but may be worth it. Any experiences?

Brands I have tried:

1. Thorne Research

2. Garden of life vitamin code

Thanks

Sucheta

An update just in case anyone else faces a similar issue--I have been taking Thorne Research's bio B12 for about 2 weeks now (every other day)and not having any adverse reaction. I researched and found B12 breakouts are usually sign of a zinc deficiency. The Bio B12 has zinc along with B12. so far so good..:)
