A really stupid question here............
....how do you find out the levels of all the vitamins and minerals in your body ?
are there specific blood tests, or do all the tests produce a listing of each element. It seems every time I have another blood test it is for a specific such as high potassium or a high platelet count.
Is it dependent on the boxes ticked by the Doc on the blood test request form ? On my last one a week ago, the nurse appeared to have 6 pages of line item tests relating to different colour containers ( so I assume different tests)
or do you have to request the test for vitamin levels yourself ?
