red cell mag/vit D3/transferrin saturation%

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

Please can you give me some advice on asking for some of the tests from my GP.

When I ask for vitamin D do I need to specifically say D3 or just vitamin D?

Also when I ask for magnesium is it just the ordinary magnesium I need or the

red cell magnesium? Saying that I am unsure if you can get red cell on the NHS.

Also I have regularly had my haemoglobin tested over the years and it is always

on the low side so I am going to start on spatone to see if I can get it up to

14.5. If I am going on supplements anyway for this do I still need to get my

transferrin saturation % checked? If so please can you give me some tips on

what I would say to my GP if he said I didn't need this aswell as my

haemoglobin?

Thanks for any advice!
