Vitamin B12

£39.00

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that supports healthy red blood cell production, nervous system function, energy metabolism, and DNA synthesis. This simple blood test measures your Vitamin B12 level to help identify deficiency before it leads to more serious health problems.

Low Vitamin B12 levels can develop gradually and may contribute to symptoms such as tiredness, weakness, poor concentration, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, and anaemia. Regular testing is particularly beneficial for people following vegetarian or vegan diets, older adults, or anyone with conditions that may affect nutrient absorption.

This test can be performed using either a convenient finger-prick home sample or a professionally collected phlebotomy sample.

What Can I Expect From Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in many essential functions throughout the body. Maintaining healthy levels helps support energy production, healthy nerve function, normal blood cell formation, and overall wellbeing.

This test provides an accurate measurement of your Vitamin B12 level, helping to identify whether a deficiency may be contributing to your symptoms or increasing your risk of future health complications.

Testing may be particularly beneficial if you:

  • Frequently experience tiredness or low energy
  • Have numbness, tingling, or nerve-related symptoms
  • Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet
  • Have digestive conditions that may reduce nutrient absorption
  • Are over the age of 60
  • Wish to monitor your nutritional health proactively

Detecting a deficiency early allows appropriate dietary changes, supplementation, or further medical investigation where required.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is required for the production of healthy red blood cells, proper nervous system function, and the repair and maintenance of body tissues. It also plays a key role in converting food into usable energy and supporting normal brain function.

As Vitamin B12 is found primarily in meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs, individuals following vegetarian or vegan diets may have an increased risk of deficiency. Certain digestive disorders, long-term medication use, and ageing can also reduce the body’s ability to absorb this important vitamin.

Low Vitamin B12 levels may contribute to:

  • Persistent tiredness or fatigue
  • Weakness and reduced stamina
  • Anaemia
  • Memory or concentration difficulties
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
  • Balance problems or neurological symptoms

This test measures the concentration of Vitamin B12 in your blood, providing valuable information about your nutritional status and helping determine whether further assessment or treatment may be appropriate.
