It can't hurt you .... so give it 3months. Take on an empty stomach. Check your other thread for more details.

You can get retested, in a while. Stop the multivitamin and the B12 for at least 3 days before the test.

It always is a good idea to retest odd results anyway. B12 is determined by calibrating the machine with a known standard.
When labs don't get frequent requests for tests like this and some others, the standard can decay with age, and when used, the result will show a false elevation. This happened TWICE with Quest labs and their Vit D determinations. These false tests spanned over a year before it was discovered. So labs do make mistakes.
