34 year old high b12

12 Replies

Hey I’m a 34 year old mum of 2. I recently had my b12 lab done and it was at 2000, but I was taking a pre natal vitamin...I had it redone 3 weeks later without taking my vitamin and my levels were at 1768. I had a ct scan of brain,mri,chest X-ray,thyroid/neck scan and all those came back normal.

Just because your b12 is high, does it mean you have an underlying disease? I haven’t spoken to my doctor in a week so I’m not sure if we’ll just recheck in a month, do more labs, or if she’ll send me to a hemotologist.

Mack84yeah,

Welcome to our forum.

Elevated Vit B12 isn’t usually a problem if you are supplementing. Do you feel unwell ?

What brand of pre-natal vitamin were you taking, for how long and how much Vit B12 was in there?

in reply toradd

I was taking Neevo Doha but I stopped taking it for 3 weeks and had my levels rechecked and it was still high. I’m not sure how much b12 was in the vitamin, but I was told to stop taking the vitamins period. I have had some type of virus for the last 2 months. It could be related to my sinus issues so I’m not feeling the greatest but no fever.

It takes 4-6 months for B12 levels to drop after stopping supplementing

in reply toSlowDragon

I wasn’t really supplementing. I was just taking a normal pre natal vitamin

Taking any multivitamins or pre-natal multivitamins will raise B12 (assuming they have B12 in them)

Do you have a thyroid problem?

Are you on Levothyroxine?

in reply toSlowDragon

Had a benign nodule removed from thyroid, but after that thyroid levels are normal...no synthroid or levothyroxine

If TTC then TSH should be under 2.5

Important to test thyroid antibodies, vitamin D, folate and ferritin too

I was drinking MagSmart (magnesium supplement) every night for 2 years I think. I did not really look at the label to see what else was in it, but after getting a result of 1159 pmol/l (range 138-652) I looked more closely at the label, and sure enough it had 10 times the amount of the RDA of B12 in it. The RDA for B12 is 2.4 mcg per day. Most multi-vitamins will grossly over supplement B12, maybe because it's cheap?

Anyhow, my B12 levels are still above normal 1 1/2 years later, But they have come down alot. Multi-vitamins are poison in my opinion.
