Three months labs

Hi everyone! I just got my three months labs and everything is within range apart from vitamin A (0.9 mmol/l and normal range is 1.5 - 3 mmol/l) and vitamin D2 + D3. The test is called 25 hydroxy vitamines D2+D3 and normal range is >75 nmol/l while mine is 72 so just a tad under the optimal range.

Any vitamin gurus out there? Gina? Advice? My A was probably low before too...not sure its due to surgery. I doubt it since I never took any vites before at all. The rest is perfect. Iron is great, B12 fine, electolytes perfect, protein good, urates are a bit high but they were also before surgery....gout is in my future! everything else is great.

Thank you!

Best thing to do is post your results. That way the ones who can help actually see the results.

They are all in French....but I will scan and post tomorrow anyway. The only slightly out of range results are the ones I wrote about, with the numbers/values...

The good thing is you can take oil based vitamins A and D and not have to take dry. You can also take beta carotene and have an easier time absorbing it and converting it to vitamin A.

Here is what Vitalady recommends for VSG patients and I think all her A, D, K and E are dry, and if you can get them there that would be best, but you should be able to find them in oil. I probably would look hard for D3 rather than D2 if you take the oil form. Otherwise, I would order from Vitalady.

Daily: Vitamin A 10,000IU; Vitamin B-9 Folic Acid 1,200mcg; Vitamin B12 1,000mcg; Vitamin C 1,000mg;Vitamin D3 20,000IU; Vitamin E 400IU; 1 B-50 Complex; 2 Complete Multi-Vitamin/Mineral; Calcium Citrate 840mg (elemental); Iron 150mg (elemental); Magnesium Citrate 140mg (elemental); Zinc 50mg
