Still too low but...: It is still too low though improving. I would aim for a level of at least 500. At the current rate it will take about 2 more months to reach that. I advise trying to correct it more quickly with B12 injections, ideally with methylcobalamin. Once levels are up oral B12 should maintain. Most integrative MD's give B12 shots.
