B-12

Post by Leah »

Hi All. I just got my blood work done and my B-12 level was around 1000. Normal is above 200. Does that mean I don't need to keep taking my B-12 supplement?

The body stores vitamin B-12 in the liver and elsewhere, so theoretically you should be able to coast for months or even years before having to be concerned about it.
