PA /B12 curious
hi there, Quick question for you PA experts. with a few symptoms that tick PA boxes over many years that are not completely resolved by B Complex would you. Pile right in and try B12 injections to see if that helps? Or Go to GP and ask to be tested? Last NHS B12 result was Serum vitamin B12

Supplemental B12 and Animal Agriculture
I was curious about the destination of manufactured supplemental B12 (I am vegan). In several books promoting vegan or plant-based diets I had come across the claim that 90% of B12 supplements are fed to livestock. This figure seemed quite high to me. The usual reference for this claim is not a scientific

Starting B12 injections, how often?
Hello everybody, I will be receiving my first B12 injection next week. My blood test results were as follows folate 3.4ug/L, ferritin 19.9ug/L and B12 218ug/L before any medication. I started on iron and folate tablets a week ago. What I'm wondering is how often should I be getting the B12 injection

High b12 readings
Hi, Just a quick question I was wondering about. My b12 stays consistently on the number 1460! I hear of some people with 5000! Does the number indicate anything helpful with gauging how much b12 your body may be needing etc ? It does not seem to move from whatever amount of b12 I am having. Thanks

Latest results from both GP and Medichecks

(Range 30 - 650)
Folate - sample error

Average dietary B12 intake

"The Neuropsychiatry of Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Elderly Patients"
(2012) [i]"In the

Less symptoms but still RLS sleep issues
I have supplemented iron for 4 months now and my RLS has reduced more and more but still have a bit of sleeping problems. I take no medications beside also Vitamin D. Last time my doctors checked my blood my ferritin level were in the normal range (around 140). Question is if I should continue taking

Vitamin B12 Supplements
I recently had a well-being check at my GP and had the usual bloods taken. My results were fairly normal but I noticed my B12 levels were quite low at 200 ( the bottom range is 100). I have a good diet which includes all the foods recommended for boosting B12 levels so I thought maybe I have a problem

Great blog post on B12 and videos from Prof Bruce HR Wolffenbuttel
The professor is probably well known to forum members from his frequently referenced paper, "The Many Faces Of Cobalamin (Vitamin B12) Deficiency" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6543499/ He also writes a blog. The first paragraph of the blog post "Bumblebees With B12" reads: [i] [/i] [i

Dr. Mark Porter's B12 Times article
Further to deniseinmilden's post I decided to risk my credit card and subscribed to the free trial of The Times to get the article. Here it is, for better or for worse!

Possible allergy to b12
Good morning! I developed a rash a week ago that covered my body and made my lips swell. The doctor suggested stopping b12 and cofactors.

iron test results help please
I must admit that even after a few years, while I mostly understand my thyroid test results, my iron tests continue to confuse me - I just can’t seem to get my head around the significance of the different parts. So I wondered if someone who actually understands could please explain in really simple

Iron Results
Could someone advise on my iron blood test please? I've been trying to raise my Ferritin levels since I had a reaction to starting carbimazole and was hospitalised with agranulocytosis 2 years ago. My levels before were 70 and on release from hospital were 19. I've lost tons of hair and lots of symptoms

Off B12 a week before B12 blood test or not?
Hello, my mum is due a repeat B12 blood test (and hoping for a full iron panel too which I have just requested) - does she need to stop the B12 supplements a week before the blood test? Or is stopping B vitamins only necessary before the thyroid blood tests? Many thanks.

How quickly does homocysteine rise following cessation of B12 injections?
