Is taking B12 in big dosages helpful to increase red blood cell count?

My red blood cell count fluctuates between 4.0 and 4.7... I know I dont have iron deficiency... Is taking 8000% of B12 daily value a good thing?

Toxcicity related to B12 is rare, but taking 8000% DRV of anything probably isn't the best idea in the world. Blood cell counts normally fluctuate. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

Your body absorbs the B12 it needs and releases what it does not need. Try some other method recommended by a doctor.
