50mcg Vitamin B12 supplements....
Is it true that 50mcg vitamin b12 tablets will raise levels as quickly as the high doses of vitamin b12 such as 1000mcg? Thank you!

Ferritin vs HB as proxy for iron deficiency / iron anaemia
Hi, My first time commenting here! When assessing a child for their likelihood of having a coeliac condition - a child with an IG(A) deficiency, what vitamin insufficiencies do you look at to support or rule out a potential case. My son’s doctor has said that the only important thing to look at, when

Intrinsic factor blood test results...
Hi All, After testing below range for vitamin B12 I have just received the results of the intrinsic factor blood test and it states intrinsic factor ABS negative. Does this mean I can supplement with b12 now? And folate? At what dose? I know I’m low in b12 but the only symptom I have is hairloss! I

Anyone suffer from haemochromatosis or have high Ferritin levels?
I discovered recently that I had high ferritin in 2018 and that I may have it still (awaiting test results). I checked back old blood tests and I've only had ferritin measured once before and while it was within limits then, I noticed it was already quite high, and that was back in 2016. Now it's gone

Very low B12 Levels...
Hi All, I’ve been found to have very low levels of vitamin B12 & folate. I’m having a blood test to check the intrinsic factor tomorrow. If that comes back negative can I supplement myself to get my levels up or do I have to have injections?? My only symptom is hairloss! I’m on loading doses of vitamin

Supplements and exercise
Hi and thanks to all who responded to my first ever anywhere post yesterday. One recurring theme in your replies seems to be that I need to think about supplements whilst receiving injections for B12 deficiency. I had heard some mention of iron, potassium and folic acid, but I'm not sure if the requirement

Hi. I recently had my iron levels checked. It's quite confusing, I am wondering if I should maintain my iron supplementation dose or decrease it. July 16, 2019 Ferritin N/A (yes, they did not run this) Serum Iron 9.9 (10.6-33.8) Transferrin 2.51 (2.00-3.30) Saturation 0.16 (0.13-0.50) In Summer 2018

Does taking oral B12 bias a B12 test high for someone with PA?
Maybe a dumb question but does taking oral B12 bias a B12 test high for someone with PA? My doc has asked me to try oral B12 prior to my next re-test to "see if it works". She said that sometimes diet absorption isn't enough for some people and supplements help. She's talking B12D in general, not PA

IF Negative after cutting alcohol, B12 descending?
I just put most of this in my profile for convenience, but thought I'd post to ask a couple questions. Short version of next two paragraphs: Feb-18 B12 non-detect (zero) and Folate high; Feb-18 started injections; Apr-19 symptoms just about gone; Jul-19 re-tested and B12 was high; 1-Aug-19 stopped injections

Would appreciate input on latest bits A, E, and ferritin levels
I am bit concerned about my latest vit A and E readings: vitamin A (retinol) (C.L.H.P) 2.86 pmol/l (1.55-3.30) 819 ug/l (444-945) Is this good or should it be higher? I take fish oil and dried beef liver capsules daily (together, they are said to contain 100% of RV) since reading that non-animal vit

Above range Active b12
I’m asking some advice for my friends daughter who I’m convinced has a b12 problem. 5 yrs ago she was very ill and diagnosed with CF( (all started after a trip to Africa). She then started having awful migraines and has been rushed to a&e a few times as they thought she’d had a stroke but drs said it

For anyone interested in a potent supplement for raising B12
I’ve recently, because of my remaining symptoms, been testing to see if I might have an issue with B12, anyway these supplements were recommended to me and by my results I think you can see they have worked, so thought I’d share... They have 3 different types of B12 in them. I did this test which included
