B12 deficiency - Vitamin B12 is important for maintaining healthy nerve and Red Blood Cells. Most NHS GP's can only provide a total B12 level, however many people with a normal total B12 level are still B12 deficient. By measuring Active B12 we can identify these individuals that would be missed if only measuring total B12.
Symptoms of B12 deficiency:
- Tiredness
- Brain fog
- Breathlessness
- Weight loss
- Pins and needles or loss of sensation in fingers and toes.
- Muscle weakness
- Low mood and depression
- Palpitations.
Folate (B9)
Folate is important for Red Blood Cells production, and for pregnant women to support healthy foetal development.

Vitamin D is important for healthy bones, muscles, and a strong immune system. Low vitamin D levels are linked to a range of conditions such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and depression.
Vitamin D deficiency symptoms:
