Good evening! I got my labs back and my B12 levels were 1332 normal range is 200-900. My vitamin d is within normal range but in the lower side. Yes I have one mthfr gene mutation as well. The only supplements I'm taking are a multivitamin, probiotics and sometimes fish oil. Is my body unable to process it or should I be more worried. My dr said she needed to think before remarking back to me which of course made me anxious! ;) thanks all

My b-12 at one time was 1800 and something and I have the double MTHFR 677 mutation. I think this is the cause of it, our body vacant process certain kinds of b12, we need methyl b-12 and methylfolate.

It's totally confused me because my llmd has me on a multi that has methyl b12 & methylfolate. :(

Yeah, if your B12 levels are that high, you likely have a methylation defect that is preventing you from processing it correctly. The methyl B 12 and methylfolate is actually meant to make your methylation cycle work properly, so that should be OK.

I would read this page:


http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/mthfr/



"You can find yourself with high folate or high B12 i.e. your body will have problems converting inactive forms of folate and B12 to the active forms. So the inactive folate or B12 will simply build up in your serum, also inhibiting the active forms. Most serum folate tests are actually measuring folic acid, which needed to be converted to methylfolate to be used metabolically."
