Yes Phillipa, there are tests on B vitamins. I had one done that showed I have a genetic defect in one of the B vitamins. But these kinds of tests are almost worthless...because no one knows enough about the defect to know what to do about it. So what if I know something is wrong. All I want to know is how to fix it. The best anyone can do is take high doses to overcome the genetic defect. Maybe that's why people with adequate folate, SAMe, B6, or B12 levels respond rapidly to double or triple doses of one of those. As best I can tell, with the B vitamins it really doesn't matter what the lab results say, all that matters is how you feel with experimental dosage trials. If you feel better on some particular vitamin taken at a very high dose, then you probably have some flaw in that circuit that took a large dose to overcome, regardless that blood levels looked fine to begin with.
> Blueberry I used to do wonderful on a certain brand only sold through distributors starts with an S but I tried other brands after moving and they increased anxiety and made me feel worse. So I agree with you. No tests for B vitamins available? Phillipa
