Just had CABG surgery a while ago and have been taking Beplex forte for the past month. My recent Vitamin B12 levels came back at 2000 pg/ml is that too high? Should I be concerned about this?

A vitamin B12 level of 2000 pg/mL is generally considered elevated, but may not be a cause for immediate concern, especially if you're taking Beplex forte. While there are no specific upper limits for B12 levels, and some studies suggest normal levels can range from 200 to 900 pg/mL, high levels may be associated with certain medical conditions like liver disease or leukemia. However, it's crucial to discuss this with your doctor, who can assess the reason for the elevation and determine if any further action is needed.
