Thanks for reviewing my report Doctor, I really appreciate your time and the advice.
I am vegetarian and don't even take milk but butter milk and paneer at times. I will stop B12 now as you suggested.
Does whey protien also likely to have some amount of B12 since it a dairy product at the end?
thanks,
Vipin
