What Can I Learn From This Test

Vitamin B12 deficiency is very common. It can be caused by not having enough B12 in your diet or as a side effect from taking certain medications (e.g. PPI/omeprazole). Certain medical conditions including coeliacs and pernicious anaemia can also impact how well you absorb Vitamin B12. Symptoms of low b12 include:

  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Hair Loss
  • dizziness
  • Pins and Needles
  • Memory Problems

It’s important to note that symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency can be subtle and may develop over time. The test will help identify low levels of B12 early. Treatment for vitamin B12 deficiency may involve dietary changes, B12 supplements, or other interventions to help identify any underlying causes.

Biomarkers Tested

Active Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in the production of red blood cells, essential for oxygen transport throughout the body. It is also involved in metabolism and the proper functioning of the nervous system, and a prolonged deficiency may lead to nerve damage. While Vitamin B12 is primarily present in animal-based foods, various vegetarian and vegan products, particularly plant milks, are now enriched with Vitamin B12.
