I'd like to ask what your calcium/magnesium product has in it.
Most combinations, have magnesium oxide, and that we know now is not well absorbed and is lost in the stool. In fact it is a well known and commonly used laxative.

Vitamin D however will improve absorption of calcium (and magnesium) in the GI tract. Some cardiologists suggest only using a maximum dose of calcium of 600mg a day to avoid hypercalcemia and plaque formation in the arteries.

Get you actual B12 results in numbers. B12 should be at 400pg/ml at least, but lower results are still called "normal" because the labs are not updating their ranges.
So you could be "normal" and in fact actually be low.

Different countries use different reporting concentrations so if yours is not pg/ml, then post it here and I will look up the conversion for it.
