B vitamin supplements advice please

Hi could anyone please advise if I need to supplement my B vitamins? I think I might have deficiencies of other B vitamins because my diet is not exactly perfect but am I just likely to be wasting time/money in getting the other B vitamins tested?

Thank you

Folate - 2.3 (4.6 - 18.7)

Vtamin B12 - 187 (180 - 900)

Your figures are so low you need to be tested for Pernicious Anaemia before you start supplementing.

For advice on this please join the Pernicious Anaemia Society community on this site :

They know far more about what you should do about folate and B12 deficiency than we do. :)

Not what you're looking for?
