Please advise on Vit B12 Mma & Active B12 result

Vitamin B12 (serum) 403.0 ng/l (187.0 - 883.0)

Methylmalonic acid 128 nmol/L (0 - 280)

Active B12 (HoloTC) 85 pmol/L (25 - 108)

Active-B12 (holotranscobalamin - HoloTC), the biologically active fraction of vitamin B12 and total B12 are within our

reference ranges. These two results suggest that the concentration of vitamin B12 in blood is sufficient to support adequately intracellular vitamin B12 metabolism,

hence normal methylmalonic acid

(MMA - functional marker of vitamin B12 deficiency). All results are consistent with each other and suggest good vitamin B12 status at present.

Although my active B12 was 57 with another online test 🤷‍♀️

My folate is low in range and I’ve SO many B12 symptoms

Much thanks

Was this test with Viapath?

If so then as they are based at St Thomas' Hospital I would say their results are reliable.

Even at 85, it might be worth getting your Active B12 higher.

As your folate is low my suggestion would be to buy a decent B Complex such as Thorne Basic B or Igennus Super B, both of those brands contain the bioavailable forms of active ingredients and should raise your B12 and folate levels.
