In reply to blood tests for vitamins?, posted by scatterbrained on March 14, 2005, at 0:52:46

> Are there any blood tests that one could take to tell you what sort of vitamins you may be lacking or may have to much of? If so, sign me up!!!

It may seem strange to hear this, but blood concentrations of vitamins and minerals are generally very poorly correlated with intake or demand. What is most useful is blood work for measurable signs of deficiency, e.g. a specific decrease in enzyme activity, when the enzyme requires a specific nutrient to function.
