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.
