I'm trying to increase my B12 level from 200 to 900. Can you tell me how many 500 mcg doses I should take? And what's the best schedule for taking them?

1 tablet daily for 3 months would help, because, orally only 10% of consumed dose will be actively available,the remaining will be excreted,hence it takes long time to restore,also consume eggs and adequate quantity of meat,they are rich in B12.

I'm wondering if it's safe to take multivitamin tablets every day without checking with a doctor first. Also, is it necessary to do any blood tests before starting on multivitamins? Just a bit concerned about whether it's really okay to self-prescribe these or if there's something I should watch out for.

I've been dealing with constipation for the last 8 months and after some tests, my doctor said I have low levels of Vitamin B12 and D3. I've been taking injections for that, but also found out my bad cholesterol, the LDL, is a bit high. I've read up on ways to bring it down and a lot of places suggest regular walks. I also stumbled upon info that said Apple Cider Vinegar might help with high cholesterol. Could you let me know if it's okay for me to try Apple Cider Vinegar for reducing my LDL cholesterol?
