Do you have a medical need for vitamin supplements? If not, I’d be wary of self-dosing. Seek medical advice first.

Best wishes,

It's sometimes required because of anemia due to mets, but don't take it without having regular full blood counts to monitor the need, i.e. prescribed under the supervision of a doctor who's monitoring your blood counts.

It annoys me it's added to things like protein drinks used in exercising.
