IV Nutrient Therapy

Key Supplements

  • Methylcobalamin B12 1000-5000mcg sublingual daily (or injections 1000mcg weekly initially)

  • B-Complex (all B vitamins work together)
  • Digestive enzymes with HCl and pepsin (if low stomach acid)
  • Betaine HCl (if low stomach acid)
  • Probiotics (gut health)

  • Methylmalonic acid (MMA - elevated if functional B12 deficiency even with 'normal' serum B12)
  • Homocysteine (elevated if B12 or folate deficient)
  • Complete blood count (macrocytic anemia)
