Folate: 20.9 (range >5.4)
Bone stuff:
Calcium: 9.4

Osteocalcin: 6 ( range 8 -32) * lower is supposed to be better, but what about too low?
PTH: 34 (12 - 65) * lower is a good thing!
Protein and nutrition:
Protein serum: 6.5 (range 6 - 8.5) * apparently normal for me
Albumin: 4.7 (range 3.5 - 5.5)
Prealbumin: 47 (range 17 - 34) * Too much of a good thing?
Transferrin: 208 (range 188 - 341)
Other stuff:
Vitamin A: 113 (range 38 - 98) * will cut this back from 5 days a week to 3 days a week
Vitamin K1: 716 (range 80 - 1160) * nice! Taking 1000mcg at night away from Vitamin A.
Potassium: 4.1 (range 3.5 - 5.5) *nice enough but would rather take 1 dose a week instead of 8 pills a day
B12: 1846 (range 200 - 1100) * nice. 5,000mcg sublingual 5 days a week
B6: 45 (range 2.1 - 21.7) * the B's in my multi may be enough to cover this. Maybe I can stop the once a week B-complex.

Thoughts?

I still have a bunch of Centrum and Costco Centrum type Multi vits but I will look into VitaLady's multi when I am ready to restock those.
I wish I could offer some feedback but I am still learning so I will leave that to the Vit pros.

It's so amazing to me what each of our numbers look like with equal supplementation. My iron #'s have dropped even lower taking two proferrin spaced out and 5 tenders by themselves.
SW / BMI / SIZE: 312 / 49.5 / 26-28W CW / BMI / SIZE: 159.1 / 25.1/ 10-12
I need to lose about 2 more pounds for a normal BMI . I still seem to be slowly losing at over 2 yrs out...so may get there yet.
