I hope you can make sense of this, as I don't have a clue.
Thank you once again

I also need the concentration report that follows the numbers.

If in Britain you use pmol...the conversion is 273 US units for October
and for April is 357.

If they are pg/ml no conversion is necessary.

Both readings are low, so your hubby would profit from using some supplement. I don't know what you have there in UK, but iherb.com will ship to you.

Ideally methylcobalamin would be the one to get. At least 1mg (1000mcg) dose daily or more orally on empty stomach.

Cut of for normal is 400. People with neuro symptoms can profit from being above 400.

Here is my B12 thread:

The conversion is on that thread:
post #43

This is a total conversion table from SI (outside US) to US units.
