The testing Pinkynose had done was from Spectracell. This lab measures nutrients INSIDE cells.
The majority of traditional nutrient testing by MDs is serum testing. This is how much nutrient is floating around loose in the serum, and not held in cells. The nutrients floating around in the serum are either on the way out (via the kidneys) or on the way to their target destination. It is quite impossible to know which.
If the sample of blood getting tested, is mishandled and the red cells burst as a result then the serum levels can be falsely elevated. This is called a factitious high (burst cells). It is quite common and potassium testing often is inaccurate because of this. The lab ranges for serum testing were made from volunteers who were not taking any vitamins before the tests. The ranges are pretty old today, and some consider them inaccurate for that reason.
