If your serum level of B12 is high only because you are continuing to take it, (not stopping it 3 to 7 days before testing), then you don't know what it would be if you did stop it.
There are some medical conditions that can raise B12 levels without any supplements being taken. Kidney problems, some cancers, and intestinal overgrowth of some GI organisms are
possible, and some liver issues.

I actually wasn't taking B12. I do take a multivitamin though and amino acids. I bought some Methyl B-12 anyway. I'm just gonna supplement it for extra energy if anything. Thanks!
