Just curious if this is a respected test or not

I think the only reliable way is a blood test.

I’ve done a lot of blood testing. Is it normal to test for vitamins or do I have to ask specifically for a vitamin test?

I’m not sure. :confused:

They normally test for certain vitamins and minerals, but you have to get special requests for others. An online test will never be valid.

I asked for a vitamin and mineral test and never got one.

Did you ask your psychiatrist for a vitamin and mineral test? Or primary care doctor?

I asked my primary care doctor. Well actually I asked the front desk when I made my yearly appointment. Then I asked my primary care doctor at the appointment and she just ran away.

My doctor has a micronutrient test. Is that similar?

What did you find out from the micronutrient test?

Never did it. I think I would have to pay out of pocket.

Yeah, you usually have to pay out of pocket for any tests beyond what your doctor recommends.
