Advice on Vitamin results please.

Serum 25-HO vit D3 level 51 nmol/L

Serum vit D2 level <5 nmol/L

Comment: <30 nmol/L deficient, treatment recommended

30-50 nmol/L insufficient in some people

>50 nmol/L sufficient for most people

Serum Folate 15.8 ug/L (3.80 - 9999.00 ug/L)

Serum B12 439 ug/L (197.00 - 771.00 ng/L)

Serum Ferritin 47 ug/L (30.00 - 4000.00 ug/L)

My aim is to optimise my vitamin status before self medicating with Armour. I've read up on the great advice and information available here, and believe that would be my best option. Thanks for any help you can give.

I am sorry you haven't yet had a response.

Those who know more than me regarding vitamins/minerals will respond when they read your post.

Thank you shaws - I hope so. It's ironic that that the one time a condition makes it difficult to concentrate, absorb and retain information, you are forced to go it alone (with the help of fellow sufferers)

Sorry you never had full reply on this post

They are all a bit low

See this detailed supplements advice on how to improve from SeasideSusie

Eating liver once a week should help improve ferritin

B12 is better above 500. Taking a good vitamin B complex with folate in (not folic acid ) should help

If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 3-5 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results

Thank you SD - as I get more experienced with the forum I find less need to post questions. The answers are usually already out there! (smiles)
