Hi please could anyone let me know if they think I should supplement with b12 . My level has come back at 411 ng. Could this be contributing to my hairloss? All help appreciate.

Thanks x

Abzieg, I doubt B12 is contributing to hair loss but 411 isn't optimal. PA Society recommend 1,000 is optimal. Supplement 1,000mcg methylcobalamin sublingual lozenges, spray or patches and take a B Complex vitamin to keep the other B vitamins balanced.
