Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped to know the actual values. Rather than taking chemical supplement, you should increase your intake of fruits like bananas and oranges.
