Lightbulb hmmm

If the vitamins are showing up in your blood...then you are absorbing them.

But you may not be UTILIZING them.

Folic acid
B6
thiamine
B12

These require activation.
Activated forms are:
methylfolate
pyridoxal-5-phosphate
allithiamine
methylcobalamin

The Solgar company is making a DNA test to show which people are genetically failing in activating and utilizing certain vitamins in the body.

You can ask your doctor to give you RX for Metanx which has 3 of the B's in activated form. The thiamine you'd have to buy separately.
