He was fasting when the blood was drawn.

I called the lab and the reference ranges are appropriate for

his age.

Also, from that website you referred me to, it seems that I should

be supplementing with folate, taurine, magnesium, BCAA, Methionine,

B6 and arginine mostly. Would you agree with this? I was

definitely going to try the folate and taurine (one at a time) to

see what happens.
