Vitamin B1 is essential for converting carbohydrates into energy and plays a vital role in nerve, muscle, and heart function. It is found in whole grains, pork, legumes, and nuts.
Vitamin B2 is crucial for energy production, cellular function, and metabolism of fats and drugs. It is found in dairy products, eggs, lean meats, and green vegetables. Highly light-sensitive.
Vitamin B3 (niacin/nicotinamide) is essential for energy metabolism and DNA repair. It supports skin health, nervous system function, and digestive health. Good sources include meat, fish, peanuts, and fortified cereals.
Vitamin B6 is involved in over 100 enzyme reactions, primarily related to protein metabolism. It supports brain development, immune function, and neurotransmitter production.
Red cell folate measures your long-term folate status over the previous 2-3 months. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. Particularly important before and during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects.
Active vitamin B12 (holotranscobalamin) measures the biologically available form of B12 that your cells can actually use. B12 is essential for red blood cell production, nervous system function, and DNA synthesis. Vegans and vegetarians are at higher risk of deficiency.
This test is for screening and information only — it is not a medical diagnosis or professional advice. Please have your results reviewed by a qualified doctor or healthcare provider who can explain what they mean for your personal health situation. If your results show anything outside the normal range, or if you're worried about your health, see your doctor as soon as you can. Don't change any medications or treatments based on these results alone — always talk to your healthcare provider first.

Frequently asked questions
No. Vitamin levels are not significantly affected by recent food intake.
Yes. Recent supplementation (within 24-48 hours) can significantly affect results for water-soluble vitamins. For a baseline measurement, stop supplements 48 hours before testing. To check if supplementation is working, continue as normal.
Common signs include fatigue, weakness, poor immune function, and impaired wound healing. Specific deficiencies have specific symptoms — your results report will explain what low levels may mean for each vitamin tested.
If supplementing for a confirmed deficiency, retest every 3-6 months. For screening, annual testing is reasonable, especially during winter (for vitamin D) or if on a restricted diet.
