POTS and vitamins, what's the correlation?

High homocysteine often shows up first as widespread inflammation—pain all over, poor circulation, or even early warning signs of cardiovascular problems like stroke and heart attack. The best way to know for sure is through testing: a blood test can measure homocysteine directly, while a CMA with Redox uncovers the vitamin deficiencies driving it. For genetic causes, the DRP Genetics panel screens 15–16 of the 17 known SNPs that can cause permanently high homocysteine. If your levels are fixed by genetics, reduced glutathione and targeted B vitamins (like MTHFR Daily) are key to balancing the

Patients often ask if they should stop supplements before an intracellular CMA test, and the answer is no. The test measures nutrient status inside your cells over the last 90–100 days, so stopping vitamins right before won’t change the results. At most, you might skip your dose a few hours before the draw, but it’s not necessary—CMA still provides an accurate snapshot of your nutrient levels while you’re on your current routine.
