Thanks for the reminder.

Also be aware that many doctors will report a low level as "normal" because lab ranges in most countries are still old.
(the exception is Japan, which had a national accident involving a drug that cause low B12---people died-- so they are aggressive and have ranges that prevent this)

Anything in U.S. under 400 should have a MMA test, and be supplemented with B12-- the methyl version, not cyano.

Here is our B12 thread from PN with details:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread85103.html

Oral methyl works as well as injected...but all oral must be taken on an empty stomach for best results. This is very inexpensive amounting to pennies a day.

The US nutritional experts recommend a B12 supplement for all persons over 50 now, since it is very common to have low B12 in the elderly population.
