Lightbulb more...

here is more info.

http://www.labtestsonline.org/unders.../mma/test.html

At a recent seminar I attended, the lecturer said she was having all the patients in the nursing homes get this test when admitted. She claims it is about $40...so I don't know if your insurance pays for it and that it tells more than serum levels.

It shows if the B12 is being utilized in the MMA metabolic system.
Sometimes B12 shows in the blood, but it is not available to the tissues.
The MMA shows if it is being used properly in the MMA system.
