Essential nutrient results

I've just had the following results from my surgery and realise I now need to update my levels.

I was told all are satisfactory!!

Advice on best way forward would be hugely appreciated....my nutrient knowledge is too scrappy to be relied on!!

I'm currently prescribed Fultium -D3 800 IUcapsules which I've felt insufficient to raise level

Should I continue with these caps and add Better You D +K spray.....I'd be happier to include Vit K....or use spray only.

Do folate and ferritin require supplementation?

Again B12 I'm unsure about

Results

Vitamin D 70 nmol/l

Vitamin B12. 396 pg/ ml. (>200)

Serum folate. 6.60 ng/ml. (>5.50) Folate > than 5.5ng/l highly unlikely to be deficient

Ferritin. 53 ng/mL. (30 - 480)

I'm currently feeling under par and suspect I need a nutrient boost

Chronic UTI isn't helping either....back on antibiotics!

I need high dose T3-only to function ( taking 75mcg which is much reduced) but before increasing my dose ( again) I want to sort out my nutrient levels

Apologies this is a bit of a ramble....

Advice will be hugely appreciated

Many thanks

DD

What were your thyroid blood results DD?

Your nutrient status doesn’t look good and ferritin is low

I'm the same - I take a shed load of stuff [done me well, so far] - just not sure whether it's too much or too little OR not at all!? Dr P looked over it all in May 2010, when I was thinking to take some of the list out [used only due to feeling so dreadful] but he added two extra.

Surely, it's time to have more detailed services available to us; yeah, services would be good!
