Several members shared their own related experiences, including one who also had low white blood cells alongside high B12 levels and was advised to stop B12 supplements.

B 12 is water soluble...mine is high as well. Doc not concerned. But listen to your physician of course.I recently read somewhere that some people just have an abundance of B12 and that trait runs in families. I have no ill effects from it.

AI-A low white blood cell count (leukopenia) occurs when the body has too few white blood cells to fight infection, typically fewer than 3,500–4,000 cells per microliter.it is caused by bone marrow issues, chemotherapy, or infections
