MMA is a substance made in small amounts when you digest protein. MMA is needed for metabolism, which is the process that your body uses to change food into energy. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in metabolism. Part of this role is breaking down MMA into substances that help with metabolism. If your body doesn’t have enough vitamin B12, it will continue to make more MMA than is broken down. High MMA levels can be a sign of a vitamin B12 deficiency. Whilst we hope that your doctor will recommend and carry out all appropriate tests, we know that some of our members also wish to explore further to help support discussions with their medical practitioner. MMA urine testing is only one indicator in diagnosing a B12 deficiency and results may be affected by B12 supplementation or replacement therapy. You can read more about MMA here.
