A member asked:
I have to take a blood test to measure a vitamin deficiency. since i take a multivitamin, when should i stop taking it to make sure results ok?

Whoa: Who is asking you to do this? What is the purpose of this testing if you are already supplementing? Be very careful -- there are several phony labs that offer bogus "vitamin testing." If you have any doubts, get a second opinion. Best wishes.
