To answer that I'd like to see your vitamin B12 and folate blood test results. It's important to address both together.

wendyhouse73 From your previous post

VITAMIN B12 181 pmol/L 140.00 - 724.00

FOLATE (SERUM) 4.24 ug/L 2.91 - 50.00

You were advised to check for signs of B12 Deficiency and post on the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum if you had any.

Your B12 is as much of a problem, if not more, than your folate level.

Hi

Can i jump in? If b12 is high but folate needs improving, what is best to do this? Thanks

You might be best asking on the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum and give your results healthunlocked.com/pasoc

I'm not sure if just a folate supplement or a B Complex would be best.
