Okay, y'all, let me know what you think!! @Larra @Clematis @CaitlynR @Munchkin @Settledownnow

Thanks so much for y'alls help!!

And @southernlady Did I do that right?

 

[Duckman]

you did, but I'll let the others chime in

 

[Settledownnow]

I will let others chime in, but it looks like iron is getting low, you need more vit K, B12 is getting a little low, and you need to test B6 with your next set of labs.

Do any of your protein or other drinks or supplements (calcium/mag) contain B6? That is something you want to watch for because high B6 can become toxic and create damage.

Your copper levels are high.
I am getting concerned about taking copper if there isn’t a deficiency, since it’s being linked to Alzheimer’s,, http://www.neurology.org/content/59/8/1153.short

 

[Ray_Of_Fricken_Sunshine]

@KathrynK I don't take any copper.
@Settledownnow Not that I know of. I'll make sure I make note to add that to next tests.

Vita lady recommends B complex 50. Mine has 50 mg of B6. Do you think that is a problem? Or only if labs are high?

Yes, it is an issue for most DSers. We typically eat foods with high B6, our multi has it, many other vitamins like to add it.

There is a B Complex with no B6. https://www.desertharvest.com/shop-new/B-Complex-without-B6-90-capsules.html

Can't look... I think my subscription ended and I paid no attention. I will get open office.

I take my B vits separately and I do not take much. I only supplement my B's if they start trending down below the mid-range of norm.

That’s the best way to handle them. Except for B6 (adding for clarity), that B needs to be low normal.

Thanks for the info!

I was told to take 1000mg ov Vit C to counterbalance the copper. Do y'all agree? Is that enough?
