Vitamin Deficiency Blood Test
Vitamin Deficiency Blood Test
Optimal vitamin levels are essential for maintaining energy, supporting immune function, and promoting overall health. Yet many people in the UK unknowingly suffer from deficiencies in key vitamins like B12, folate, and vitamin D, which can lead to fatigue, weakened immunity, and long-term health issues. The Vitamin Deficiency Blood Test provides an accurate and convenient way to assess your levels of these crucial nutrients. Research from institutions such as King’s College London and the University of Oxford highlights that deficiencies in these vitamins are more widespread than previously thought, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. Early detection through reliable blood testing empowers you and your healthcare provider to take proactive steps to correct deficiencies and improve wellbeing.
What Does This Test For?
This test evaluates your blood levels of vitamin B12, folate (B9), and vitamin D—three key nutrients critical for energy production, immune system efficiency, and healthy blood formation. Identifying deficiencies early enables you to take targeted nutritional or medical interventions to prevent symptoms such as fatigue, anaemia, and bone disorders, supporting your overall health and vitality.
