What's included

3 deliverables in this treatment

  • Venous blood draw
  • Laboratory analysis of active B12 (holotranscobalamin)
  • Results report with short virtual consultation

The Vitamin B12 (VITB12) test measures active B12 (holotranscobalamin) in a venous blood sample, reflecting the form of B12 that cells can use. Low levels may support evaluation of fatigue or neurological symptoms. It’s aimed at adults concerned about B12 status, and includes a £35 phlebotomy fee.

About this treatment

This assay quantifies active vitamin B12, specifically holotranscobalamin, from a standard venous blood draw. Because holotranscobalamin represents the biologically available portion of B12, the result may support clinicians in assessing whether low B12 could be contributing to fatigue, mood changes, or peripheral neuropathy. The test is suitable for adults who follow vegetarian or vegan diets, have malabsorption issues, or simply want to verify their B12 status as part of a broader health check. The price includes the mandatory phlebotomy fee, laboratory measurement of the active B12 marker, and a clear results report accompanied by a short virtual consultation to explain the implications. Results are typically available within a few business days, enabling timely discussion of supplementation if required.
