    Can you have normal Vitamin B12 levels but still experience deficiency symptoms?

    Yes, some people can have normal Vitamin B12 levels in their blood but still experience deficiency symptoms, a condition known as functional B12 deficiency. This can happen when the body has trouble utilizing B12 effectively, often due to underlying issues like genetic mutations or poor absorption. In such cases, additional tests like methylmalonic acid (MMA) and homocysteine tests are needed to assess B12 functionality.
