Thank you for the indicators - very helpful info.

[HeartBreakHigh]

Thanks doc! 👍🏾 Nice and short to the point, but still with vital and correct info.

[eternity]

Thank you. I haven't needed a lab test as I always know when I struggle to fall and stay asleep. As a vegetarian, I have been giving myself injections for years. Sometimes I forget but are reminded as I don't sleep well. Vit B12 always fixes that.

Thank you for sharing this info! I am taking a urine test for Methylmalonic Acid. Do you think it is worth adding the serum B12 (Cobalamin) blood test as well?

[dsfv]

Thanks doc. My doc said to use otc since my levels were a little low, plus I am on ppi

[gifgt]

Is spectracell micronutrient panel testing the most accurate?

[Nabil-zfim]

Many Thanks Dr. Jin for the video: my question is which version of METHYLMALONIC ACID test shall I choose : blood test or urine test ? 🙏👏🏻

[WalkATruth]

how does one increase these levels - what foods are recommended - are supplements a waste of money - or are some sup brands worth the splurge?

[kifle]

Dr. Jin. What is the clinical indication for extremely low MMA levels?

[aliveandwell]

If serum B12 is high (with B12 defic. symptoms and feel better taking B12 in small amounts) what might mean and what labs useful? Did wonder if people with high B12 serum levels were finding some was inactive and how to get more active. Did MMA urine but not sure what optimal labs. Methylmalonic Acid, U 5.2 umol/L 1.6-29.7 , MMA - Normalized 1.4 umol/mmol cr 0.5-3.4 , Creatinine(Crt), U 0.42 g/L 0.30-3.00 . Usually MCV 94-97 (ok by lab range but...). Thank you for your explaining B12 and other labs to determine if /which problem.

I haven't take B12 supplements for years. So will a regular serum B12 test be reliable in my case?

[teamsrmi_]

What to do if i have hard campilobacter since February 2022 and doctors dont want to cure me in the hospital ?

[icwyfim]

Thank you for that information.if your levels are on 300 is that low or high pls.

[abcd]

Ty for video! My b12 is over 1400
Methylmalonic Acid is 185. And mcv is 92. I have been fatigued w leg pain. Just wondering- ty !

[regina]

My MCV is slightly higher than the lab range. Is that enough to confirm B12 deficiency?

[starfox]

Just had a blood test: b12 >2000pg/ml
If I've been taking pantoprozol, would this cause the increase? I am not taking any supplements. Medicine currently: Pantoprozol and Propranolol

[AnnaMaria-zmcv]

No thoughts on HoloTC? I had high normal b12 bloodserum and normal low HoloTC (active B12). My doctor abroad suggested MMA test but my dr here says there is no need because Im not deficent. But I took high doses B12 until 2 weeks before the HoloTC test and dr abroad thinks I still could be deficient that it is still from high dose supplement. I improved after taking this high dose (20000% RDA) symptom wise.

[jojow]

Once again THANK YOU for this information. I eat a vegan diet and have extremely high B12. I will ask my MD test my methylmalonic acid to see if it truly is high.

[jjooeegg]

MMA test came back ok but homosistine test came back pretty high. Could that indicate B12 still . Or must both be positive . Thanks
