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:

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

Hi Mrs D. the last B12 lab I had was in April. The result was 542. What do you think? I am getting very confused on whether to take supplements or not. Currently, I take nothing. I have had so many doctors tell me not to bother with them. Even one who told me to throw them in the trash. I am not sure what to take. I just had my vitD checked I don't remember the number but it was WNL. Are there any supplements that you believe are a must if you have neuropathy? I don't even take a daily anymore because I was having such stomach issues. I would like to start adding one back at a time. What is your best advice for supplements? Hope you don't mind the questions. I have so many. hopeful
