A more informed choice
Your questions,
answered.
Why test B12 and methylmalonic acid together?
Vitamin B12 measures the amount of B12 in your blood. MMA is another marker used to help assess possible B12 deficiency, including when the B12 result is difficult to interpret. Your provider reviews both with your symptoms and medical history.
When might this package be useful?
Discuss it if a prior B12 result was borderline or your clinician is evaluating a possible deficiency. Restricted intake, digestive disease, certain medicines and prior gastrointestinal surgery can be relevant parts of that conversation. Tingling and other nerve symptoms need clinical assessment.
What exactly is included in the $120 price?
The $120 price includes vitamin B12, folate and methylmalonic acid, with Quest collection included. This focused three-marker combination can complement recent general bloodwork.
Can kidney function affect MMA?
Kidney function can affect MMA interpretation. Bring any known kidney disease and your recent kidney results to the review. An elevated MMA result should be interpreted with that context rather than treated as proof of one cause.
Can the result tell me whether I need B12 injections?
Your results can inform a discussion about intake, absorption and supplementation. The appropriate form of treatment depends on your symptoms, medical history and the reason for a low result. New or worsening numbness, weakness or balance changes warrant prompt medical review.
