B12 injections impact on other medical tests

Hello all

I recently posted about this and only got one reply so carried on researching and …..

I have stumbled across this pdf on the New Zealand govt website. It is a Panpharma pdf for hydroxycobalamin.

medsafe.govt.nz/profs/Datas...

It specifies the impact B12 injections can have on blood and urine

I have high triglycerides which came on coincidentally? after I increased to my regular SI EOD. Now I am wondering whether the high triglycerides are real?

Is there a similar pdf in the UK system and should we be factoring these into our results?

🤔

Now that is interesting! A lot of the results that can be artificially raised, I have had since starting jabs. Docs then order more tests, which all come back normal, so they just scratch their heads and shrug their shoulders.

Interesting find. Particularly this section:

"An artifactual increase has been observed in the levels of creatinine, bilirubin,

triglycerides, cholesterol, total proteins, glucose, albumin and alkaline phosphatase and a

decrease in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and amylase. Unpredictable results have been

observed in the levels of phosphatase, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase (AST),

creatine phosphokinase (CPK), creatine phosphokinase isoenzymes (CK-MB) and lactate

dehydrogenase (LDH). "

FlipperTD does "artifactual" mean that the raised B12 could cause the measurements to be falsely high but this is not a true/real elevation of those values?

Of course I also could not avoid noticing:

"Vitamin B12 concentrations in the blood may be reduced following administration of

large and continuous doses of folic acid. Folic acid administration may impair the

therapeutic response to hydroxocobalamin".

This will no doubt anger the 5mg a day cult but I have to agree with the data sheet.

Hello, what is the explanation behind 5mg a day cult and is there an alternative on this opinion? I am in a facebook group that says that 5mg a day folic acid is necessary to for B12 to be absorbed.

Yes thats the group I'm referring to. They believe (without evidence that I can see) that EOD B12 injections require 5mg of Folic Acid daily. I do not think this is either necessary or guaranteed to be safe.

We do know that B12 & folate work hand in hand. I agree we don't know how much folic acid is needed and of course it will depend on how much folate individuals get from their diet. My dietary folate intake is low so I do take 5mg folic acid daily now and again to ensure I have enough - this is when I observe I am not getting the same effect from my EOD B12 as I usually do.

Not what you're looking for?
