A member asked:
Have any of you doctors ever ordered a vitamin b2 test and if so, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Really hard to get: it isn't generally available as a test. furthermore, the vitamin is not especially malabsorbed unlike vitamin B12, which requires a specific transporter in one little section of the gut and has deficiencies quite commonly. easier to just have person take a one-a-day vitamin.
