Vitamin B-12

I was recently gifted the Raw Science Energy & Recovery Vitamin B-12 5000 MCG. I take vitamin B-12 every day due to several health problems. I take the pill form sublingually, which means under the tongue until it dissolves, and then swallow. With this liquid form, you are supposed to take one dropper and hold under your tongue for 10 seconds, and swallow. 

This is great for those who don't like pills. It has a great sweet flavor and no bitterness. What I don't like is that once you open this it has to be kept in the refrigerator and you have to use it up within 60 days. Going back and forth to the fridge to take your medication does not fit into my schedule as much as just taking a pill. Also I find it hard to know how much a dropper is since the dropper is not marked with a line to let you know you are getting the proper amount. 




I personally take vitamin B-12 for a B-12 deficiency. B-12 can also help with boosting energy and increasing red blood cells.  B-12 is essential for nerve health and can help regenerate nerves. Always check with your Doctor before adding any new medications. As a rule of thumb, I also check with my pharmacist when it would be best to take any new medication with what I already take.

Reading Log 2024 for MarksvilleandMe

A new year, a new list of books to read. In case you are just tuning in, I am working on one of my bucket list items which would be to read the whole original Nancy Drew Series. I read quite a few when I was younger but I wanted to read them all in order. I was lucky to find a great deal and add them to my new collection of books. To be honest most of my books are now digital but I still love an actual book where I can feel the page being turned and see the progress of how far I am in by looking at the binding and where my bookmark is. I would love to hear what you are reading right now.
