Hi Everyone,
I just had my B12 retested and the level was 919 pg/mL. Does anyone know what a good level is and if I should address getting off the B12 or keeping it up? Thanks,

It is a good level. Keep it up.
It is not really high, compared to what others I've seen on supplements, and that implies you were low to begin with.

I agree with mrsD. My test came back at 1067, with 176 to 840 being the normal range. My physician was delighted with 1067.
So keep up what you are doing with B-12. What was your folate? About 20 would be optimum. My questions is, Were you low or do people like you and me use up our B-12 at a faster rate than most? The answer doesn't change the ongoing treatment, just a different way of looking at the issues.

I don't know what my level was to begin with, but my MD said it was low and put me on the 1 mg of B12. I will ck what my folate level is.

Wow, 1 mg of B-12 should be a good kick to your B-12 level. I only take 380 mcg (micrograms) or 0.38 mg and my B-12 is at 1067.
Maybe yours was super low. Are you taking B-6 also? 200 to 400 mg per day should be a good and safe start.
