Thanks, my GP was very pleased and even seemed a little surprised. He said, "whatever you're doing, keep doing it." Everything on the test was good. Even my B12.
Because I'm essentially a vegan, I have been taking a B12 supplement since 2006. But I take just a small fraction of what is recommended and what most people take. In most stores I believe the smallest tablet contains 500 mcg. After cutting them in half twice, take only 125mcg every other day. That's about 62.5 mcg. per day instead of 500mcg. And yet the doctor said my B12 blood level was perfect.
I found 100mcg tablets by mail order so next I will try cutting them in half and will take 50mcg per day. We'll see how that goes on future blood tests.
