Did this doctor give you your numbers, Aarcyn?

Your B12 should be at 500 or above to be normal.
Broccoli does not have B12 in it, but it does have folic acid.

B12 comes from animal sourced foods. It can become low if patients take daily acid reducing drugs, long term antibiotics like used for Lyme disease, or metformin for type II diabetes.


That's great that you have good Vit D levels. Most people do not.

Many lab ranges still reported in the US use antiquated levels of B12 going down to 200 as normal. People can have many neuro symptoms at levels in the 200's.
