Guest guest Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hi Marina: It’s not my B12 that I was concerned about although when it went to 359 last year and I had nerve damage in one foot and memory loss and the doctor wasn’t going to warn me, until it got below 198. That’s hard to believe. I made a typing error= My Folic Acid should have read 1113 and that is about twice the limit. I was concerned with that level. Do you know anything about that test?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Marina: Thanks for this reply. I am taking a SMALL AMOUNT OF FOLATE and I thought it might rise, but to be DOUBEL THE LIMIT seems a bit much to me. So that is what is causing my high level.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Marina: I guess you’re the only one that is going to reply to my posts. I didn’t think 800 MCG. was high when I have seen many people online and IN BOOKS, that take 2,000 MG. to 5,000 MG. and that is about 2000 TIMES what I am taking. Do you see the difference that I am trying to say? 1,000 mcg. = 1 MG. and these people were taking NOT 1 MG. but 5,000 MG.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Bonnie, When I was pregnant I took 400mcg, several months after I stopped taking it I took blood test, The values were elevated. Not doubled, but I stopped taking folic acid months prior to the test. Doctor said folate level built up and it will take months to go down. She was right. I retested several months afterwards and level was normal. I don't know if you have any health problems, so I don't know what the reason of elevation. If your folate level so high I would stop taking supplements.
