A member asked:

What tests during 3rd trimester pregnancy will tell if i am deficient in any nutrients?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unfortunately: Although such tests have been described, they have not been broadly developed because of the resistance against vitamin therapy or prevention. For example, a test called red cell transketolase would show whether you have deficiency of vitamin B1 but I do not know of a laboratory that does this test

Dr Foster and another doctor agreed
