B12 Supplementation Article from Today’s Dietitian:
Testing For B12 (taken from article above): “The status of B12 typically is assessed through serum or plasma B12 levels. Values below 170 to 250 pg/mL for adults indicate a deficiency. However, this indicator may be influenced by other factors, such as low vitamin B6 or folate levels. Elevated MMA levels (greater or equal to 0.4 mcmol/L) may be a more reliable indicator of B12 status, because it indicates metabolic changes more specific to B12 deficiency.4
Norris recommends MMA and serum vitamin B12 tests for vegans, adding, “You don’t need to get tested just because you’re vegan; rather, you should make sure you follow the recommendations for intake.”
Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, LDN, a vegan nutrition expert and associate professor of nutrition at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, also looks at MMA, as well as homocysteine levels, to see if B12 status is adequate. “B12 works with other B vitamins in many biochemical cycles, so it’s important to understand the whole picture and look at a variety of nutrients,” she says.”
