I am from upper middle class. Jain food habit. No junk food, no vices. Have good quality of fresh food only. I m 56 yrs old. Still my B 12 test ( done due to back pain and on the advise of Sr Spine specialist) shows only 218pg/ml and normal range is 211 to 946. 1. What can be cause? 2. What more tests to be done? 3. What steps to be taken to bring it to minimum 400 to 500 pg/ml.

Go for Vit B1-B6-B12 injections and then tablets. I also strict Jain food. But as a part of medicine we don't have option for any other rich source.
