Is Vitamin B12 Level Of 142 Pg/ml A Cause For Concern?
Hello. I am 23 year old male. My doctor suggested me to take blood test for vitamin b12. Result - 142 pg/ml. After this he asked me to take meconeuron tablet for 6 weeks but he didn t prescribed the concentration. There are two varieties available in market, 500mcg and 1500mcg. Which one should I take. Also what is ideal b12 blood level.
The ideal level of vitamin B is between 300 to 900 pg/ml. The choice of prescription relies on your doctor and I do not think I should recommend you dose without examining you. The blood level is just one part of clinical examination and it is never enough to diagnose or treat a disorder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
