I have had bloodwork done and based on it, I ordered the B complex today and B6. Between the two, I will be taking 350 mg of B6.

My B12 level is 288, which is borderline low. The normal range is 200-1100. I do not understand why it is so low given that I eat plentiful animal foods.

My folate is 7.4 which is also borderline low. The normal range is 3.4 to 40. Again, unclear why as I eat a good diet. I would like to increase my level.

Apparently, both folate and B12 are implicated in cognition. I do not want to mess with that for sure.

There might be some malabsorption going on due to some meds. I don't know. I am just going to start taking B vitamins and retest in a few weeks. I have been told by an advisor at the supplement company, who has a PhD, that B vitamins levels respond to supplementation very fast.
