We know the average recommended dose for a healthy adult is 2.4 micrograms of vitamin B12 each day. However, everyone absorbs nutrients differently and therefore should get blood tests done to find out what their vitamin B12 levels are.

When people absorb too much B12, they may run into many health risks. Some of the health risks of too much B12 include severe acne, itchy skin, rashes, headaches, dizziness, diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, back pain, arthritis, anxiety, nervousness, and lack of coordination. Those suffering from any of these symptoms should make a doctor’s appointment to get blood work done to find out their levels of vitamin B12.
