Got some blood tests recently, As you can see, Vitamin B12 pretty high, Creatinine and Albumin on the higher end.
I’ve had blood tests done EVERY year since 2016 and every year creatinine and albumin has been slightly over the normal range, it hasn’t changed for 5 years, Back in 2016 my diet was the OPPOSITE to what it is now, I was eating close to vegan back then. Who knows if they have always been elevated, I did take a short course of Accutane in 2013, stopped after 1 and half months.
I’ve never supplemented b12. I’ve been eating A LOT of red meat on a daily basis for a while now (at least 120g a day, sometimes as much as 300g a day), February 2021 my b12 levels were 666 and now their 924!
(I can’t eat dairy, don’t eat seafood, weight training 6 days a week so I need the protein)
The last few months I’ve noticed my hairs shedding more and got a lot thinner, I’ve developed onycholysis of the nails, and I do get days of extreme fatigue which I think is gut related (had fatigue days for years now though, before high b12)… But overall I feel much healthier, eczema is mostly clear but not 100%, energy levels most of the time are improving, strength improves in gym, libido has been excellent, sleep is amazing now etc etc etc
I’m not sure if I should be bothered about the Albumin and Creatinine as its always been high and EGFR is fine, docs have never seen an issue with it… but the b12, what the heck should I do with that, I can’t see reducing red meat to be a solution?
