Blood test results
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2018 8:03 am
Hi everyone,
I have MS since 11 years ago. Had two relapses over these years with full recovery and have never taken any medication (despite my neurologist's advice)
Since 1 year ago I have changed dramatically my diet: No gluten, no dairy, no red meat, loads of vegetables, little sugar and calcium. Swim 3/4 days a week, pilates, mindfulness and take few supplements on a daily basis:
Vit D 10000uI since 3 months ago (before that 2000uI)
DHA 500 (2-3 )
Lactoferrin 300mg
Magnesium (citrate)600 mg
Zinc 15mg
Curcumin
Ginger
Ginkgo biloba 120mg (on and off)
Today I got my blood test results and are as follows:(reference values)
Vit D : 76ng/ml (>20ng/ml) ( was 40 three months ago when I was taking 2000uI)
Mg :2.0mg/dl (1.4-2.4)
Zinc : 83.5ug/dl (60-150)
Calcium: 9.6 mg/dl (8.2-10.6)
Albumin: 4.1 g/dl (3.5-5.2)
K: 4.7mEq/l (3.5-5.1)
Vit A : 0.54 mg/l (0.3-0.7)
vit B12 : 359 pg/ml (211-911)
Vit E : 11.5 mcg/ml (5-20)
PTH ( intact parathyroid hormone): 22pg/ml ( 15-65)
I was expecting vit D to be higher after 3 months of taking 10000units ( it has increased 36ng/ml). Not sure if I was correct assuming that or it is more than an acceptable increase.
I have also noticed that since not eating red meat (I do eat poultry) vit B12 has dropped as well as haemoglobin (13.3g/dl). Maybe I should add Vit B12 to the list?
I have been reading several posts regarding the connexions amongst Vit D, PTH, Mg, Zn, Ca but having into consideration my blood results, do you think I should modify my daily intakes in any way?
Any ideas are more than welcome
Many thanks and have a wonderful weekend!
