MMA:

http://labtestsonline.org/understand...s/mma/tab/test

If this test is LOW that means your B12 in your blood serum is working. If it is high, then B12 is not.

You can also do a homocysteine test, and if high it indicates that something in the conversion of homocysteine to SAM is not working. 3 vitamins are involved in this conversion,
methylB12
methylfolate
pyridoxal 5 phosphate (which is activated B6 pyridoxine)

Usually the MMA test is enough to confirm a confusing B12 serum result.
