📅 Medical Review Date: December 28, 2025

Vitamin B12 135

Your Vitamin B12 level of 135 is a Low Vitamin B12 level.

A vitamin B12 level of 135 pg/mL usually means the body has low vitamin B12 stores. It suggests B12 deficiency. Low levels of vitamin B12 can cause fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, numbness in hands and feet, balance problems, and memory issues. This can be caused by pernicious anemia, vegetarian diet, Crohn's disease, or gastric surgery. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Low Vitamin B12 levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 211 pg/mL and 911 pg/mL. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.
