B9 (folate) and B12 deficiency

Hi, can anyone help with some background info on B9 and B12 deficiency please?

My folate level has come back at 3.3 and my GP says my B12 level is normal. I’ve been learning about active and inactive B12 so have sent off a private test to check those specific levels.I’ve just started on 5mg of folic acid a day for the next four months for the low folate.

I think I may have to have a conversation with my GP about B12 injections and have found the attached very helpful document but can anyone tell me its source? Does it come from NICE, for example?

Thanks.
