You can check the status of vitamin B12 and C-reactive protein in blood tests, with CRP being the more common test. If you believe your inflammation is already low, ask your doctor for an hs-CRP test, which can accurately interpret just how low your levels get, as the normal CRP tests assumes you have more than a little, and can’t read low values, well.

Good info, I need to up my B12 intake. I have an inflammatory disease and I can’t stress enough that everyone say 55+, at there annual physical ask to have their hs-CRP levels checked when they do all the other normal blood test. Inflammation is a hidden very bad health issue that no one knows you have if not for the hs-CRP test. High Sensitivity -c Reactive Protein test. My GP didn’t look at mine when my issue arose, the neurologist did mine and my cRP was 156, it is supposed to be under 10 at most labs. I could have gone blind if he didn’t check and that test led to a biopsy of my temple artery which confirmed my diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis.

As her condition improved, we were able to shift to oral B12 because she can absorb it now.
So interesting to see this study discussing B12, absorption
and inflammation.
