What this tells you
Measures vitamin B12, which the body uses in the making of red blood cells and in nerve function. Often requested by those eating little or no animal produce, or where tiredness has no obvious cause.
Results are returned and explained privately by the clinic. Nothing is published on this website.
How to prepare
No fasting needed. If you take a B12 supplement or have had a B12 injection, tell us when you book — recent supplementation raises the reading and timing may need to be adjusted.
