Question:
SUPPOSED LEVELS OF B12 AND FOLIC

CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE LOWEST AND HIGEST READING FOR B12 AND FOLIC SHOULD BE WHEN IT COMES BACK FROM THE LAB. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MY WLS AND ARE DUE FOR THE ROUTINE LAB WORK AND AM CURIOUS ON WHAT THE LEVELS SHOULD BE AS I DNT WANT TO HAVE THESE UNNECASARILY. YES I CAN ASK MY DR BUT ITS EASIER TO ACCESS TROUGH HERE AS OTHERS MAY HAVE THE SAME QUESTION AND ITS NOT IN THE LIBRARY FOR FUTURE REFERNCE. THANKS    — [Anonymous] (posted on December 18, 2001)

The ranges will be listed right beside your "score", but in general, B12 level is LOW at about 220. Personally, I think we should start shots when it hits 400. My most recent labs show folic acid normal at 3.1, but the norms vary a bit from lab to lab, day to day.
