A member asked:
I have iron deficiency anemia and recently had a b12 serum level that was over 2000. should i be concerned with this result? if so, what type of specialist should i see?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, you shouldn’t be concerned. If you are taking multivitamins containing b12, then this will cause the number to be elevated. B12 is not toxic to the body. Excess amounts are washed out in the urine.
