Hi, I feel that you should take methycobalamine only if you are having macrocytic anaemia( MCV high) & low Vitamin B12 levels or if you are a vegetarian and expericing symptoms like paresthesias.You can get your Vitamin B12 levels and take methylcobalamine(100-1000 micrograms per day) if your are having low levels.Other things which might benefit are drinking tea may help to reduce iron absorption through the intestinal tract. Vitamin C may improve iron excreation .Hope it helps.
