Hi

I am planning to get blood tests for the vitamins I take and fatty acids, I take a load of them and thought it wise to test to see how its going. Eg Vit B's Vit K, etc etc, fatty acids. I wondered if anyone knows the best tests from which labs?

thanks

Individual B vitamins, Vit K and fatty acids aren't tests that have been mentioned here as far as I am aware (and I've been here 10 years). We generally suggest testing key nutrients - Vit D, B12, Folate and Ferritin.

I don't know where you could get those specific tests that you've mentioned done but you could look through what tests are available from the different labs listed on ThyroidUK:
