The Claim
Serum vitamin B12 concentrations above 600 pmol/L are associated with a 50% higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to serum vitamin B12 concentrations at or below 600 pmol/L, suggesting a potential threshold effect for mortality risk.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People with very high levels of vitamin B12 in their blood—above 600 pmol/L—might be 50% more likely to die from any cause compared to those with lower levels, which could mean there’s a dangerous upper limit to how much B12 is safe.
