A member asked:
I have a b12 low of 236 symptoms of b12 deficiency and a ferritin of 44. could this be b12 deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
B12: Your B12 is low. And ferritin is low. You require evaluation as to why for each, but particularly B12, and B12 injections. You may not absorb B12 well in your intestine.
