"my b12 advanced test"

What are they testing? Is it active B12?

My understanding is that any B12 related results eg serum B12, active B12, MMA and homocysteine may be affected if a person has recently been supplementing with b12.

I read somewhere, sorry can't remember where, that MMA and Homocysteine levels are likely to drop once B12 supplementation starts.

The website below says Active B12 is likely to be high if a person is supplementing with b12. see question 4.

I am not a medic. Hopefully someone else with more info will be along soon.
