Question:
Should we stop vitamins prior to doing bloodwork and if so how soon before?

NEVER STOP TAKING YOUR VITAMINS! Sorry to shout, but that's so important. If you stop taking your vitamins before your bloodwork, then the readings for at least some of the tests will be artificially low, which would falsely indicate the need to take more vitamins, which would overdose you on some things. Set up a regular schedule for your vitamins and stick to it for life.

Always ask questions like this to your doc. S/he may want a fasting test. Good luck!
