I'm a strict vegetarian and just got my vitamin B12 test results back showing 242 pgml. Is that considered a normal range or is it low? I'm really concerned about maintaining my levels. Could you suggest what vegetarian foods might help boost my B12?

I'm trying to figure out if Endura Mass is actually good for my health. I noticed that when I stop taking it, my weight either stays the same or I even start losing weight again. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned about dropping it?

Question

I'm turning 26 this November, and I've always been underweight. I'm really trying to gain weight, but I just don't have much of an appetite. I eat a little and feel full quickly. My weight is around 45 kgs, which seems quite low for someone my age. Could you help me with this issue?
