This product is a home blood test kit that measures three important nutrients related to blood health: vitamin B12, active folate (5-MTHF), and ferritin (iron stores). Together, these markers help assess whether your body has enough of each to support red blood cell production, neurological function, and overall energy.
Gives a more complete picture than testing B12 alone
Helps diagnose or monitor causes of fatigue or anemia more precisely
Useful when symptoms suggest multiple potential deficiencies
Home finger-prick sample collection with trusted lab analysis
Results must be interpreted in clinical context—low or borderline values do not automatically indicate disease
Nutrient levels can fluctuate with diet, supplementation, and absorption
This test is for informational use and does not diagnose disease on its own
Consult a qualified healthcare professional about interpreting and acting on your results
All samples are processed by accredited biochemistry laboratories

Ferritin is a protein which stores iron in your cells and tissues. Usually, the body incorporates iron into haemoglobin to be transported around the body, but when it has a surplus, it stores the remaining iron in ferritin for later use. Measuring ferritin levels gives us a good indication of the amount of iron stored in your body.
Folate is a B vitamin which acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of amino acids. It is also vital for the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines which are essential for DNA synthesis and red cell formation. Folate is also especially important during the first trimester of pregnancy so if you are thinking of becoming pregnant it is important to make sure your folate levels are normal.
Vitamin B12 is important for production of red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body. B12 is also involved in metabolism and the nervous system and prolonged lack of vitamin B12 may cause nerve damage. Although Vitamin B12 is almost entirely found in animal-based foods, many vegetarian and vegan products, especially plant milks are now fortified with Vitamin B12.
