Were you taking any supplements when your nutrient levels were checked? If you are, then the test result will be artificially elevated. It's a good idea to stop all supplements at least 3-4 days prior to testing.

Your Vitamin D level is actually low or insufficient. Optimal levels would be in the 40 -80 range. You can read more about Vitamin D at http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/about...for-vitamin-d/

Regarding a high folate, you may not be utilizing the folate properly. It would good to have your homocysteine level and MMA checked with your next blood draw.
