Vitamins do not require digestion because either they are water soluble or fat soluble. They get dissolved and travel through different parts of the body via cells.

Take a FLOW CYTOMETRY - NATURAL KILLER CELL PANEL Test or Take a THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test

Book FLOW CYTOMETRY - NATURAL KILLER CELL PANEL Test Book THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test
