The reason your doctor recommended it, is because he tests vein blood for nutrients levels, like vitamin D, and when it is low he advises taking enough to raise vitamin D in your blood. However I've written many times about vein blood and why you should never rely on it to take any nutrients, hormones, etc. See Why You Shouldn't Rely on Blood Tests, Revised March 5, 2011, Message #103259: /message/103259 Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
