Vit B complex, Vit C & Folate
Hi Marlene,
Yeah my mom's consumed vit-B complex, vitamin C and folate everyday since the day she was diagnosed with MDS. As pointed out by Birgitta-A and consulted the doctor, my mom stopped the vitamins now.
Thanx for the good tips about prior testing the vitamins. The hematologist never mentioned about this  ).
About your statement "I also want to point out that not everyone can convert some forms of B12 and folate supplements so that the body can use them. If they cannot convert them, they tend to stay in the blood."
Is that mean if the person body can not convert all the vitamins consumed, then the blood tests for the vitamins (Vit-12 and Folate) will always be on the high side ???
