Guest guest Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Had a high homocysteine level (21, normal for women < 7) and was prescribed by the doc B12, B6, and folic acid for this. My baseline B12 was about 600 (normal range: 200-900) I've been taking the following amounts for the last 2 months: B12: 1250 mcg sublingual daily; B6: (p-5-p version) 17 mg sublingual daily; Folic acid: (metafolin version) 800 mcg daily. I was just retested and my homocysteine is down to 10.1, a very nice improvement. My B12 is now 1400, the upper range of normal being 900. So here are my questions (finally, right?): Any adverse reactions/potential problems from a high B12 level? And, why isn't my body simply " getting rid of " the access? As a side note, no denying the efficacy of sublingual B12 (cyanocobalamin version) on me! I've not had a chance to discuss these test results with doc yet, but am cutting my B12 back to once a week in the meantime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
