How to accurately identify a vitamin deficiency?

Is there actually a scientifically proven way to check vitamin levels through blood, urine, or some other method?

I’ve come across this acupuncture technique using an EAV organometer... I'm skeptical about the reliability—some people online claim it's around 80% accurate.

Is there a method out there that provides definitive, undeniable results?

I’ve heard people talking about this acupuncture thing using an EAV organometer... but I honestly have no clue if you can even trust it. I think I saw somewhere online that it's maybe 80% accurate?

But is there anything out there that gives you totally undeniable results?

I'm not really sure about specific testing methods.
What I do know is that those multivitamins you grab at a local drugstore or a supplement shop probably cost you, what, maybe a dollar or two a day?

You can head over to a clinic like Quest Diagnostics in Chicago to get those vitamin deficiency tests done.
You'll need to book an appointment in advance, and it’ll run you about $23.

But honestly... I have my doubts about how reliable those results actually are...🙄

I take effervescent multivitamins every single day. I feel great, so there’s really no need for me to bother with any testing😎

Hey everyone—so, I’ve recently noticed these white patches popping up on my skin, and they seem to be spreading. Since I’m already dealing with an autoimmune liver condition, there's a chance it could be vitiligo, though I also have hypothyroidism, which can cause all sorts of weird skin issues too. On top of everything else, because of my underlying health stuff, I’m running pretty low on vitamins D, E, K, and A. I was wondering if anyone knows who I should actually talk to about checking for these deficiencies, and what the process looks like for getting those levels tested? 🤷

In any major lab, you should be able to check the status of D and K—and probably A and E too.

I work at the Mayo Clinic.
