B12 is high, are you supplementing?

Folate is fine.

Ferritin is recommended to be half way through range but that is an extremely wide range and a very high upper limit for a female. We usually see 13-150 or 15-300. Just my opinion but I would say your ferritin is fine.

You haven't put the ranges for white cell count and Red BC, you've put the result and unit of measurement, there should also be a range.

You don't need to continue with the B12 supplement. Our B12 store is good for at least 2 years so you will be wasting your money.

Are you taking a B Complex alongside your B12 to balance all the B vitamins, which is always recommended? If so, which one?

Red and white BC are both within range so are OK.

Blimey, well I didn't know that about B12 . Our store is good for at least two years. Is this age specific?

I do take B12 which come from a company called 'puretality' High strength formula.

Vitamin B Complex by NuU , Nutrition. 8 essential B vitamins.

Thank you so much to the fabulous folk who were kind enough to take time to read my results, good ones to boot (top of the mornin' folks).

I am now doing a scissor side kick in the air as I land on cloud nine.

I will pass on my good will to all of you knowing you will in time get much better than you have been feeling in the past.

I haven't heard that the length of time we store B12 is age specific.

From msdmanuals.com/en-gb/home/d...

"Unlike most other vitamins, B12 is stored in substantial amounts, mainly in the liver, until it is needed by the body. If a person stops consuming the vitamin, the body’s stores of this vitamin usually take about 3 to 5 years to exhaust."

If I were you, when you have finished your current B Complex I would change it to a better one, one that has the bioavailable forms of the vitamins - methylcobalamin not cyanocobalamin, and methylfolate not folic acid. Your current one has the synthetic forms.

After I improved my B12 and Folate to the recommended levels and just now need a maintenence dose, I changed to a whole food B Complex called Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw B Complex which is made from organic fruit and vegetables and I take half the recommended dose - 1 capsule instead of 2 - which gives 225mcg methylfolate and 66.5mcg methylcobalamin which should be enough for a maintenance dose, along with the other B vits.
