Answer

Hello,

 

The high B12 levels are quite unusual and would warrant to look for following disorders;

 

1) Liver disease

2) Polycythemia vera

 

Please read this resource;

Following measures will reduce the elevated blood levels of the Vitamin B12 if above diseases can be ruled out;

 

1) Stopping any supplements including herbal supplements

2) Alcohol cessation or restriction.

 

Please feel free for your follow up questions.

What about muti vitamins and a liver clear detox dietary supplement also would xanax serapax and luvox increase my B12 levels

Accepted Answer

Hello,

 

Yes, multivitamin supplements and liver clear dietary supplements may also increase the blood levels of B12. Your medicines are not likely to increase blood B12.
