Decimal placement:
Below is the order that you will use, to move your decimal from LEFT to RIGHT OR from RIGHT to LEFT, to convert your dosage to the one you want. 

​

          Kilogram(kg)          Gram(g)        Milligram(mg)         Microgram(mcg) 
               BIGGER                                                                          SMALLER
______________________________________________________________________________________
If you want to convert a larger number to a smaller number, you just move the decimal to the right.  
 
Remember: The decimal is always to the right of a whole number

Example: 5.0 kg to grams. Move the decimal 3 spaces to the right, that's it!  
                    5.0 KG > 50. > 500. > 5000 grams is the answer 
​______________________________________________________________________________________
​
If you want to convert a smaller​ number to a larger ​number, you just move the decimal to the left.
 
Remember: The decimal is always to the right of a whole number
Example:  300 mcg to mg. Move the decimal 3 spaces to the left, that's it!​
                     the answer is .3 mg < 3.00 < 30.0 < 300 mcg

​Try not to make it complicated. The only thing you're doing is moving your decimal to the right or left.  Some companies offer their B12 in tablet form, which might make it a bit harder to cut.  So, make sure you check the nutrition label on the supplement for serving size.  Personally, I like powder, flakes, or spray!  

B12 deficiency can occur in anybody, including people who eat meat, vegetarians, and those who are on the paleo diet.  Just because your lifestyle is Vegan, it doesn't necessarily make you're a candidate for deficiency.  It makes you a candidate because you're human, not because of your lifestyle.  Sure, eliminating certain foods might cause your risk to increase, but everyone is at risk.  I know a lot of people who supplement with B12, and there are those who do not.  

     

It's a personal preference, interest, or belief whether a person wants to consume B12. Taking B12 is very tricky; while some people think that they can just eat a specific food and increase their levels, it's not true.  B12 increases and decreases daily, which makes it very common for people to be deficient in. 



Remember: 

Everything gets filtered through the kidneys and liver.  They both decrease the amount of toxins and chemicals in our bodies.  So please understand this before taking a B12 supplement or any other kind.  For those of you who do not know, all

B Vitamins are water-soluble, which means whatever your body doesn't use, you excrete it out with the exception of B12. This is stored in your body to increase its reserves. 



People who supplement or have supplemented all their life with B12 might not have the Intrinsic Factor to absorb it.  So those of you who supplement with B12 and think everything is O.K., it might not be.  Everyone produces B12; it's a natural occurrence in the body, so if you have any questions, talk with your physician or nutritionist regarding introducing any new food items into your lifestyle.
