Your chemist is: correct. There is so little B12 (and many of the other ingredients) in Centrum and other over the counter multivitamins, that it won't make a significant difference. Peace and good health.

My vitamin B12 is elevated- 1327 pg/mL and a year ago it was also high, at 1269, and I only take prenatal vitamins, sertraline, and levothyroxine. I just gave birth 3 months ago and do not have diabetes. Could it be cancer? Im 29 years old?
