There is no convincing evidence of the harmful effects of elevated serum B12 per se, so I have not vigorously pursued this lab finding. If excessive supplements are consumed, B12 is innocuously excreted in the urine once tissue receptors are saturated. Nonetheless, this question raises some interest...
