Dela

Two vitamins survived the great B-numbering cull to become the tests we order most and trust least. Meet the 80% of your B12 result your cells can't touch, and the antibody that sabotages the very test built to catch it. Join the Bloody Minded Crew as we come to the lab for a second time this season to learn how B12 and folate assays are performed.
