Can my mother get her Vitamin B12 blood test while taking Vitamin B12 tablets, or should she skip her dose before the test so it does not affect her results?

Asked by Female, 62 · 5 days ago

To get the most accurate result, it is generally best for her to temporarily stop taking her vitamin B12 tablets before the blood test. Taking the supplement close to the test can falsely raise her blood levels, potentially masking an underlying deficiency. Ideally, she should skip her dose and consult her doctor, as they may recommend pausing the supplement for a few days to a week before the blood draw. This ensures her results truly and safely reflect her body's natural levels.
