A member asked:
I have been taking vitamin b12 5,000 mcg for a few years now. i had a b12 blood test taken yesterday and it was 2000 pg/ml. can taking vitamin b12 cause this elevation? can this cause health issues for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be. Stop taking the supplement and retest in a year, unless you have health issues that require evaluation sooner than that. Visit this site for info: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322286
