Thanks for that clarification.... It could be you were really high,
and slowly came down to that figure revealed in the test.

Or it could be that you have a medical condition that creates a high B12, or you are eating fortified foods.

Some medical problems present with initially high B12.
Kidney disease
some cancers
liver problems
GI bacterial overgrowth

The transcobalamin is a bit low, and can reflect that it is being used up by the excess B12. Or that can be a genetic flaw. Transcobalamin takes the B12 that crosses the GI lining and carries it into the blood stream and around the body.

The MMA shows low and that is good because B12 is used to lower it in the body (it is a metabolic waste product).
