Had my bloods done in Feb as I had symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, nausea and gut issues. Was prescribed 2 injections and then have also been taking oral supplements too. Had my bloods done again last week and my levels have basically doubled.
Symptoms wise I think I’ve had a small improvement but a little tiredness still do I don’t want to slack.
I believe the cause of deficiency was because I’ve been vegan for 10 years so I think I’m able to absorb oral supplements fine.
My doctor has basically said my bloods look good now so nothing else to do, but I want to make sure I keep on top of my levels and keep improving my symptoms.
Feb 2026:
Vitamin B12: 147 pmol/L ( 170 - 800 ) L
Folate: 27.4 nmol/L ( 5.0 - 45.0 )
March 2026:
Vitamin B12: 362 pmol/L ( 170 - 800 )
Folate: 33.5 nmol/L ( 5.0 - 45.0 )
Any advice appreciated! I’m currently taking 50mcg tablets daily but have been told on here that I should probably up that amount to at least 1000mcg so looking into getting those.
