serum methylmalonic acid testing

just had my medicheck results with dr recommendations including and they have suggested that I should get a serum methylmalonic acid test. My B12 is normal but in lower range. Question is whether this is worth testing or to just go ahead and supplement (I would do this in support of my dr I just don’t want to book an appointment yet as doing some other protocols on my gut and don’t want to pay for an appointment until I have more to present if you see what I mean) so wondering if worth testing in the meantime?

I’d add exact results & the comments added by doctor. Was it from Medichecks or another doctor?

I’m surprised because in range results usually prompts an all is fine response.

MMA can be tested privately - Medichecks have a couple of packages with included.

I don’t know much about it:

Lab tests site usually has good info about test, why test & purpose

thanks PurpleNails yes it was medichecks - and it was lower at my last check in September and they didn’t respond on that. Different doctors I guess!
