Hello,
last year around this time I did the ELN (European Labs for Nutrients) methylation panel. In order to prepare for it I stopped all supplements 5 days before drawing the blood, as recommended.
The test came back with the usual pattern found in Rich VanK studies... low GSH, low SAM, high SAH, bad SAM/SAH ratio. In other words methylation is working poorly.
Now I am about to do it again, but I wonder if it makes any sense to stop the supplements again. If I do, chances are I will not get a clear picture of what the current therapy is doing.
Given that most water-soluble vitamins get out of the system pretty quickly I am assuming that continuing the supplementation is the best way to see how much it is helping.
Am I wrong? Thoughts?
Thanks
