Never accept "normal" for B12 as an answer unless you get
the numbers.

According to the AAFP (American Association of Family Physicians) other testing should be done on anyone below 400.

Your supplement is too low. You need at least 1mg (1000mcg) of oral B12 in tablet form for it to be absorbed properly. Take on an empty stomach.

Many lab ranges in US are abnormally low... a sad fact of life.

Cara has given you alot of information to copy and take to your doctor.

Take care.
