Default Regarding B12 testing and folic acid masking deficiency

Yes, the test will measure lots of B12 running around in your blood that will never be stored or used. But it will likely show that B12 is being absorbed, and that is a very good thing. Keep it up, because it takes time to replenish stores of B12 to a healthy level.

Getting folic acid through supplements or fortified foods is one of the reasons a person deficient in B12 may not show signs of anemia. And, unfortunately, a large percentage of medical people think that lack of anemia rules out B12 deficiency .
