B12 & Folate results

[aineyy]

Morning

Just got my B12 & Folate results back, both in range, can someone advise if these are optimal, or if they could do to be higher.

Thanks

Active B12 50 pmol/L 25.1

- 165.0

Red Cell Folate 511 nmol/L 285.4

- 1474.7

I would always aim to get vitamin and mineral levels over half way in the range, so yes get them up.

Thank you bluebug, have just started supplementing B12.

B vitamins worked together so get your folate up as well. It's probably better to take a B complex so you have a good level of B6 as well as folate.

A school of thought says treat symptoms rather than use a one size fits all guideline and as B12 is not toxic it cannot be overdosed on, so is quite safe finding correct dosage that improves wellbeing.
