The levels and ranges were designed to reflect people NOT taking supplements. It is only to be expected that taking something everyday would shift those levels to a different reading.
What is missing from our medical community is the information about what is serious for those taking "something" compared to someone not.
All we have to go on today, is the patient's information about how they "feel". If something doesn't agree with you, don't take it. Then there is the testing itself. If the red cells burst in the sample and spill their contents then artificially high readings can result. But they do not reflect the true serum levels.
There are now testing labs that only measure intracellular levels, so that mistakes cannot happen as often.
