A member asked:

Can i take a mvi (multivitamin) if going to be tested for essential vitamins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Why are you being tested? Do you want to find out the status of your nutrition? If you want a test for your current vitamin status then you should not take the supplement before the test.
