Is it correct we need to stop taking our vitamins 2 days prior to lab work?
thanks,
terry

I have never stopped taking vitamins before labs. My labs still show deficiencies or excesses. If you do decide to stop taking your vitamins before labs, then you need to be consistent moving forward and always stop before labs.

Some people are told that but most of us don't think it is necessary. The most important thing
is to do the same thing every time. Personally I stop my vitamins the night before and don't take
any the day of the labs until after the draw.

It's annoying but my surgical team wants me to stop at midnight. Also, no eating before labs. *Sigh*
