Vitamin B12
Good: B12 (Methylcobalamin)
Bad: B12 (cyanocobalamin)

B12 levels checked, not just serum B12 but HotoTC levels as well as MMA and Homocystein. B12 deficiency can cause depression and anxiety amongst other things.

It can take years for a deficiency to show up.  
Here's how a B12 deficiency can manifest itself.
Nerve damage that causes numbness & tingling in the hands & feet.  
Anemia
Irritability, personality changes and depression
Fatigue, weakness, balance difficulties
Neurological symptoms of dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth & tongue.


Vitamin D3 (25OH Vitamin D blood test)
Healthy range on your 25(OH)D test
50-100 ng/ml US measurement  (125-250 nmol/L) UK measurement
Vitamin D3 is good (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D2 is bad (ergocalciferol)
Vitamin D really isn't a vitamin. It's a hormone. It doesn't stay in your body and we don't get enough through diet or from the sun if you live above 33 degrees above the equator. You Create D3 in your body from the UVB Suns rays. You cannot access UVB rays in most areas during the fall and winter. Even if it's sunny outside.

1000iu daily for each 25lbs bodyweight usually works out about right. There is a big difference between people as to what each person requires The range for any regular dose intake ranges over 250 nmol/l or 100ng/ml depending if your are a poor or a high responder. The only way of knowing is following the initial high  dose period settle on an intake between 5000iu and 10,000iu daily and stick with that set daily dose and check 25(OH)D using a blood spot test after 3 months. If you are significantly over 80ng/ml 200nmol/l you may reduce your daily intake. supplement with a meal that includes dietary fat to help D3 absorb.

Vitamin D2 causes the amyloid protein in your brain to clump together making it difficult to remove this build up of amyloid. This leads to loss of cognitive function and sets up the conditions for Alzheimer's disease progression. Vitamin D3 helps clear amyloid from the brain which aids in improving cognitive function.


Ferritin (ferritin serum blood test)
Composed of iron and protein, Ferritin is a storehouse for iron in the body. Measurement provides an accurate picture of how much iron you have available in reserve. It is used to evaluate anemia and for diagnosing iron deficiency. Low Ferritin is a sign of iron deficiency.

Doctors check hemoglobin levels for anemia, yet they don't check ferritin levels. You van have normal hemoglobin, yet low ferritin. Your hemoglobin will draw the iron from ferritin stores (storage) in order to keep your blood levels high enough so your body functions. When you are anemic, your body is not making enough hemoglobin to carry oxygen to all of the cells of your body. Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen in your red blood cells. Your bone marrow produces red blood cells using iron and vitamin B-12.


Magnesium
(Mineral needed for bone health, sleep, muscles, over 300 body functions)
have your Doctor do a Magnesium RBC test. It's not a standard test drs run, but the only accurate blood test for magnesium. Magnesium serrum which most doctors run is not accurate.

The “Recommended Daily Allowance”, or RDA, for Magnesium in the United States is approx:
400 mg per day for men
300 mg per day for women
600mg per day if low (for 1 month)

Most people don't get enough magnesium (mineral found in foods like Dried seaweeds, Dark leafy greens (especially collards, spinach and Swiss chard), Broccoli, Beans, Whole grains (especially millet, brown rice and quinoa), Almonds, cashews, and filberts, Sesame seeds, Lentils, Avocados, Wheatgrass.

Vitamin D3 utilizes your magnesium stores, so while you are building up your D - it is sucking out your Magnesium faster than a RDA dose of Magnesium can replace it.  Then you will get Magnesium deficiency symptoms

On vitamin d and cofactors: magnesium is crucial:
"While not Technically a factor in Vitamin D Absorption, magnesium is required in order for Vitamin D to be converted into its 'active form' in the blood. So, if you are magnesium deficient then you will likely have difficulty converting the Vitamin D into a usable form in your body. In fact, many of the so-called Side Effects of Vitamin D, like:
Constipation
Muscle Cramps
Insomnia
Anxiety from Vitamin D
Heart Palpitations
are actually Signs of Magnesium Deficiency and often go away if Magnesium and Vitamin D are taken TOGETHER.
The key point about magnesium is that it is best absorbed in small amounts through the day.
So you will absorb more magnesium if the concentration is lower and the consumption is more frequent.
