One could say your stores are filled up and the rest is floating around, OR
that you are not storing any and it is all floating around in the blood.
There is no way to measure that.
The MMA test will tell if you are USING B12 however. Which is a bit different.

mrsD,
I am curious about your comment that the MMA test is the one that tells if the B12 is floating around or being stored. On 4-3 I had 10 tests: B12 810; MMA .21 -- there were no ranges given in the report I received. Mostly importantly tested positive for Intinsic Value Antibodies so I now know I have pernicious anemia. Do those numbers tell you anything? May not remember but I started at B12 reading of 68 on 1/31; one shot, 6 weeks later and taking 1000mg of methylB12, reading was an astonishing 1,075. Had third test on April 3rd and B12 was 810. Since then I have increased my methylB12 to 3-4,000 because of an awful relaspe of symptoms. Sorry, I'm long-winded. Does the MMA number mean anything I should know??? You are the greatest! Fondly,
