1. Hello, You’re not eating enough if you are a veggie and will need a supplement. It is far more efficient to take B12 as a nasal spray or under the tongue spray as these are absorbed directly into the blood stream. Are you are taking B12 because you have a deficiency? Current medical advice suggests no upper limit...B12 is non toxic. A good web site is http://www.b12d.org/ Good luck,
2. You need to be very careful about your diet! I would suggest that you seek some professional help. After all, this is your health that we are talking about and what price can you put on that? At least, have a very good look on Amazon for some high quality books which come with good recommendations so that you can learn about the subject. Also have a look at the government to websites which have quality information on them rather than searching the web aimlessly. I did notice that there is a website where you can get some information about vitamins. It's at http://vitamin-nutritional-supplement.blogspot.com/ Good luck with it!
