Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

Recently I tested my vitamin b12 level out of curiosity and I found it to be at 219 which is just above the minimum normal range value. Should I start taking B12 supplements? I am a vegetarian and milk seems to be the only B12 source for me.
