Have any of you been tested for vitamin levels?

I haven’t but according to my dna:

Gene Your results Effects
NBPF3 CC Lower levels of B6

YOUR RESULTS
Gene Your results Effects
BCM01
(rs12934922) AA Higher BCM01 enzyme activity; Higher beta-carotene to vitamin A transformation
BCM01
(rs7501331) CT 15% lower BCM01 enzyme activity; Lower beta-carotene to vitamin A transformation
CYP26B1 AA Lower breakdown of vitamin A

Conclusion : You have a higher transformation of beta-carotene to vitamin A. Therefore, you may have a increased level of vitamin A in your blood

YOUR RESULTS
Gene Your results Effects
SLC23A1-SLC23A2 haplotype H1 lower blood vitamin C levels

Conclusion : Optimize your intake. People with your genotype are more likely to have lower levels of lower blood vitamin C levels due to reduced ability to vitamin C in metabolically active tissues.

Gene Your results Effects
GC TT Normal ability to transport vitamin D = higher blood vitamin D levels
CYP2R1_1 GG Higher CYP2R1 activity = Higher 25-Hydroxyvitamin levels
CYP2R1_2 AA Reduced CYP2R1 activity = low 25-Hydroxyvitamin levels

Conclusion : Stay balanced. People with your genotype are less likely to have lower blood levels of vitamin D due to increased ability to transport vitamin D in the body.

YOUR RESULTS
Gene Your results Effects
INTERGENIC CC Decreased vitamin E levels (alpha-tocopherol-)

Conclusion : Optimize your intake. People with your genotype are more likely to have lower levels of alpha-tocopherol which is one compound that makes up vitamin E.

YOUR RESULTS
Gene Your results Effects
FUT2 AA Higher levels of B12

Conclusion : Stay balanced. People with your genotype are less likely to have lower blood levels of vitamin B12.

Gene Your results Effects
MTHFR
(rs1801133) GG Normal MTHFR enzyme activity; leads to normal homocysteine levels
MTHFR
(rs1801131) CC 30% reduction in MTHFR enzyme activity; Likely higher homocysteine levels
MTR AA Very low MTR activity; could lead to higher homocysteine levels
MTRR GG Significantly decreased MTRR enzyme activity; could lead to increased homocysteine levels
Your Folate metabolism genetic score : 2 /8

Conclusion : You have an inefficient folate metabolism and likely high homocysteine levels

Is this going to change the way you eat do you think? or supplement?

Low on vitamin D.

And, incidentally I’m on a high from life. I just did my laundry and sat at Subway sipping a coke and relaxing at an outdoor table. Came back in and put my clothes in the dryer and made a few inane comments to some friendly strangers and made them laugh.

I think given my cooking ability and motivation it would be difficult to change my eating habits. I would consider supplements. The difficulty would be getting one that covers the vitamins I supposedly have lower levels of and not the ones I have higher levels of.
Buying individual bottles of B6/C/E/and folate(B9) would be very pricey I think.

Last time I checked which was a year ago or longer, I found out I was low on vitamin D. My diet’s a lot worse than it was then, but I get more sun. Wonder what it’s like now.

I’m low on Vitamin D levels so I take supplements.
