Vitamins

[Tiredofitall]

Could anyone please tell me how often vitamins should be checked. Thankyou

Tiredofitall,

If you are supplementing iron and vitamin D you should check levels once or twice a year to make sure you don't oversupplement.

Thankyou, will ask GP because it's almost 8 months since they were checked.

Don't be surprised if your GP refuses to retest as a lot depends on your initial results and their attitude.

Testing once or twice a year is the ideal but GPs frequently refuse to do that, and even often refuse to follow the advice of specialists on when to retest.
