Can someone remind me how long i should allow between starting to top up different vitamins and minerals and having new blood tests?

I think 3 months would be a good time to retest nutrient levels. I managed to raise my severe Vit D deficiency to optimal level in that time, likewise with folate. Of course, it depends on what your level started at and dose of supplement but I'd test 3 months after starting.

Keep an eye on Medichecks and Blue Horizon...they often do good money off offers in run up to Christmas....you can use test upto 6 months after purchase date
