Lol! If you're fit enough for that your thyroid meds are optimal and you don't need personalised medicine.

Have you seen the actual research paper? It's fascinating and mostly way above my head!

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

I'd like to draw everyone's attention to table 2 page 1142 - B12 and folate levels that prevent anaemia vs those that minimize DNA damage. Big difference, particularly folate. We all know that B12 levels should be higher, but I think folate often gets overlooked. Shove that one up your GPs nose.

And the B12 400 is in pmol/L, that converts to 542 pg/ml.

It was B12unme who found this and posted it on Twitter. Her headline too I turn plagiarism into an art form.

Sadly most is over my head too, but I see what you mean about the table. *imagining Dr. Number's face if I had told her deficiency was damaging my DNA. I think it would have been face palm*.
