A low normal b12 of 392 is suspect IMO. In light of the fact that you have symptoms and low normal B12, I would consider addressing it. Like I said, you are very young and should have a more optimal B12 level. Spend some time reading the B12 sticky posts at the top. B12 serum testing is probably the least effective way to test for B12 status. Looking at homocysteine and MMA would be a better indicator.

Regarding Vitamin D. Prescription Vitamin D is usually D2 and not an optimal form. D3 is better and can purchased over the counter. On a side note, we always take our D3 with K2 to help prevent the calcium from being misplaced.

I would look at adding in magnesium as well.


If you get a chance, watch this on B12. Diagnosing and Treating Vitamin B12 Deficiency - YouTube
