Has anyone tried this? I’ve had blood tests done and the Doctor says there is medical reason as to why I am always tired, he said my diet is good too so I’m going to try these and just wondered what your thoughts are if you have them and whether they worked or not. |

It depends what the medical reason is. A friend of mine was unable to absorb vitamin B and had to have injections, the supplements wouldn't have helped. |

SheilaWestWilts, that is interesting to know, I have no medical reason for being tired all the time, how did your friend find out that he/she couldn’t absorb vitamin b? |

Both my Mother & sister had to have vitamin B12 injections every month. They were always tired and were diagnosed bey their doctor. They always perked up after the injection and went downhill towards the end of the month when another one was due. |

Only blood tests can indicate various conditions - anaemia, vitamin deficiency, ME, thyroid etc. There are any number of causes for persistent tiredness. I would ask your GP to run everything they can, to try to pin down the cause. Good luck! The friend I mentioned also had his thyroid removed, and has suffered with sleep apnoea, sounds like they tried pretty much everything :-( not sure even now that they got to the bottom of it. Press for a proper diagnosis. |

After my wife passed away my B12 number was down after annual medical and blood work. Recall I was given injection first year then I decided to take tablet supplement which I have done the last four years. I take it with my breakfast which is usually cereal. They are 1200 mcg and are 'timed release'. |

Surely the first question must be to ask what the 'medical condition' actually is. |
