Question

So what were your B12 results exactly in numbers?
Labs still report lows as normal.

In US 400pg/ml is the new low .. Yours may be in
Nmol and need to be converted to compare.
People fall thru the cracks commonly with this test.

Hi Do you have a link for that number please? I can't find anything about it, and my labs just came back "normal" at 316. Thanks.

The Japanese have a cutoff low for B12 over 500 BTW... as they had an epidemic of low B12 that maimed and killed many thousands of people in the late 70's. (it was from a common drug called Vioform, which has been taken off the market here long ago. It is now called clioquinol-- an antifungal and used for traveler's diarrhea in the past. It was very popular in Japan.)
