High Vitamin B-12 Levels?



Recommended Posts

Ok - so I got blood work done for my upcoming visit (Thursday 04/25) with my oncologist. All my blood work came back SUPER GREAT.

EXCEPT my Vitamin B12 level. Look at my results. It was crazy high. It is like 1000 units over what it should be. I do take a supplement, but it was on my requirement list post VSG (with Vitamin D, Calcium, etc.) I really only take it every 2-3 days, not daily. And all my other levels came back near perfect....

Component Results

Component B12

YourValue 1419 pg/mL

Standard 211 - 911 pg/mL

Flag H

Has anyone else gotten these kinds of results? Should I be concerned? I mean WOW. I will let you know what my Dr. thinks after Thursday.

Mine was high as well. It was like 985 or something like that. My Dr said to stop taking the supplement and they would check it again at the next blood letting.

My NUT told me that B12 is Water soluable and it will come out in your pee if you take to much, she told me not to worry about it?

I was put on it right after surgery and mine came back high (1542) during my 3 month follow up. I was cut back to taking it 1 time a week and they will check it again in a few months.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
