I have been on Jarrow Methyl B-12 5000 mcg: 1x per day – first thing in morning on empty stomach for quite some time.

My B-12 level was 1406 in the standard range of 200-1100 pg/ml. I did not stop taking the vitamin prior to having labs done. Also I started taking Methyl Folate Jarrow 400 mg/1x per day with food.

Any recommendations on testing my B-12. Should I have stopped taking it prior to testing. Also should I have my folate levels checked and if so should I stop taking it prior to testing.

I had a severe head and neck injury! And was wondering if anyone would know if my injury could have caused my folic acid cell to be injured? I have been doing my own research and have learned a lot! I too am taking both supplementals for B12 diffencency. Any advice or what doctor to see would be helpful!! My injury is also work related and because of it I have been swept under the carpet with time now 5 years I have progressed to no return
