--you can list all your lab results if you want (and you certainly wouldn't be the only one here who has).
B12 deficiency results in many problems--neurological, hematological, musculoskeletal . . .often, the symptoms are subtle and inspecific at first, but over time become more pronounced. The good thing is that B12 deficiency can almost always be easily treated, and these days it can be treated through oral supplementation cheaply, without constant visits for B12 injections. But the recovery from B12 deficiency can be long and involve various relapses and remissions, peaks and valleys, as the body used it for rebuilding and then attempts to rebuild stores. |

With your folate on the high end, it's possible you're not utilizing what you have. Adding in the methyl B12 may help with that. Pay attention to how you feel when you add in the B12 and be prepared to adjust the dosage timing if you feel worse. Sometimes, it can be too much for your body to handle at once and you have go slower. But if you find you're OK, I would really consider adding in the bio-active B complex after a week or two.
Copper, iron and zinc work hand-in-hand. If any one is out of balance, it can throw the others off. Since you've had iron issues in the past, ask if you should have a complete iron panel done. |

Taking vitamin C/acsorbic acid with your meals will increase the absorption of iron from your foods. If you like spinach salads, or any leafy greens, try adding lemon juice to the dressing.
Anything with tannins in it, like coffee, tea, red wine, will decrease the uptake of iron. So you don't want to drink these with your meals all the time. |
