Question

I don't understand your question, I'm sorry.

If you don't absorb your vitamins how can you be high?

The actual upper limit of the old outdated B12 levels is 850- to 900 pg/ml (US units).

If you are 10 times that you would be at 9000? The machines used in US only are calibrated to 2000 maximum. We've had posters here in the past who work in the labs explain that.

People CAN have elevated B12, with no exposure to any vitamin. That usually reflects some serious medical issue:
kidney malfunctions, liver disease, and various blood disorders and cancers.

Folate tests can be high because foods in US are fortified with it. But not 10x normal, from food alone.

Can you post your lab results here? You can get them from your doctor?
