My Vitamin B12 level is low at 150. What medicines and foods should I take to increase it?
A Vitamin B12 level of 150 pg/mL is low and requires attention. To raise it, your doctor may prescribe daily high-dose oral Vitamin B12 supplements (1,000 to 2,000 mcg of Cyanocobalamin or Methylcobalamin) or B12 injections if absorption is an issue. For dietary sources, incorporate: Animal products: Fish (salmon, tuna), clams, red meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and cheese. Fortified foods (especially for vegetarians): Fortified breakfast cereals, nutritional yeast, and fortified plant milks.\n\nPlease consult your physician to determine the correct treatment plan and rule out underlying absorption issues.
