This is interesting- Lots of people go on and on about how the "government" isn't interested in vitamins (I've been known to say it myself)- but hey, here's some great news, and I'm not sure if it's widely known. I was touring the CAMS facility at LLNL and they were telling us all kinds of stuff they've been involved in. One thing they've been measuring- via C14 mass spectrometry- was vitamin malabsorption. They are trying to find out how great the range is in vitamin B uptake. UC Davis (which is kind of the government) is doing the research, but CAMS measures their specimens. So it's very cool this stuff is being done. They were working on B vitamin- but I'm sure they will work on all sorts of other things. They have also licensed the technology to drug companies, so they can track actual absorption of drugs in humans- since I guess rat models are only 50% effective. I learned lots of other cool CAMS stuff, but it wasn't applicable to diet. cams.llnl.gov
