Question 1

is a vitamin b12 blood level of 1077 considered elevated? what could it mean?

Accepted Answer

High B12: Yes this is a high vitamin B12 level but that level will do no harm as the unneeded portion is simply excreted by the body. Only massive elevation can strain the liver.  You are able to reduce your intake of this vitamin in case you're taking a supplement as, unless you have no stomach acid, your body can absorb B12 from many foods like dairy products, meats and seafood.

Question 2

is a blood level of vitamin b12 of 951pg/ml in a 10 months old child dangerous?

Accepted Answer

No: That's the serum level of cyanocobalamin. What's more important is looking at the intracellular levels. Having lower values is more dangerous than having higher values. Cyanocobalamin is the B vitamin that helps attach the oxygen molecule to the hemoglobin in red blood cells to deliver oxygen to tissues. So it's very important!

Question 6

my doc said that the level of vitamin b12 in my blood was at the 1200 level. is that still cause for concern even when my other blood work was fine?

Accepted Answer

No: That is at the upper end of normal or a little out of range on high end depending on which lab you are using. Levels that high are usually associated with supplementation. Depending on how much, how frequent  and by which method ( oral, sublingual, injection) you can back off on dosing frequency if you like. If you feel better keeping it at that level then no harm done.

Question 7

No concern: Vitamin B12 level of 1125 is not a cause for concern. However you may be taking more vitamins than may be needed.

Question 8

a blood test showed that i'm b12 deficient. serum b12 level of 186 pg/ml, should i take vitamin b12 supplements?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: B12 in the form of methyl cobalamin is necessary for numerous biochemical pathways.  It can prevent psychoses, nerve tissue degeneration and megaloblastic anemia.  Methyl B12 can be given safely at doses up to 3mg intramuscularly and can be given weekly in those patients who cannot absorb it through the GI tract.  Otherwise, 2mg oraly is optimal. There are no known side-effects of having to much.
