GetTested’s Vitamin Test offers detailed analysis of key vitamins: B12, Folate (B9), D, E, and Coenzyme Q10. This test is particularly useful for individuals with dietary limitations or specific health concerns. People on plant-based diets, the elderly, and those with conditions affecting nutrient absorption, like Crohn’s disease, can significantly benefit from this test to identify potential deficiencies. Additionally, it’s helpful for anyone experiencing symptoms like persistent fatigue, weakened bones, or compromised immune function, which could indicate low levels of these essential vitamins.

If you’re also interested in assessing minerals, we recommend our Nutrition Test, which evaluates 8 essential minerals and crucial ratios between them.

Which markers are analysed

Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for red blood cell formation, nervous system health, and energy metabolism. It's unique in containing the metal cobalt and is found naturally in animal products like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy. Vegetarians and vegans may need fortified foods or supplements, as B12 is scarce in plant-based diets.
Coenzyme Q10
Q10, or CoQ10, is a crucial compound for energy production in every human cell and also acts as an antioxidant to protect cells from damage. It's vital for maintaining overall health and cellular function.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, supporting the immune system, and playing a role in muscle function. It's unique among vitamins because the body can produce it when exposed to sunlight.
Folate (folic acid)
Folate, also known as folic acid, is vital for cell growth and making DNA. It's key for pregnant women to prevent birth defects. Folate is in leafy greens, fruits, beans, and fortified foods. Supplements are common for pregnancy and some health conditions. A lack of folate can lead to tiredness and weak immunity.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant important for protecting cells from damage, supporting immune function, and maintaining skin and blood vessel health. It's found in foods like vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables. While deficiency is rare, it can lead to neurological issues.

How the Test Works

GetTested’s home-based blood test offers a convenient way to monitor vital vitamins. A simple finger prick is all it takes to collect a blood sample, which should be done on an empty stomach in the morning. The sample is then sent for lab analysis, with results delivered digitally. The test price includes shipping to the lab.

Key Vitamins Analysed

  1. Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): This vitamin is crucial for converting food into energy. It supports healthy skin, hair, eyes, liver function, and the nervous system. Moreover, Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in forming red blood cells and synthesizing DNA.
  2. Folate (Vitamin B9): Folic acid, a synthetic form of folate, is vital for growth and red blood cell formation. It becomes especially important during pregnancy for cell division.
  3. Vitamin D: More than just a vitamin, Vitamin D acts as a steroid hormone, essential for bones, teeth, and immune health. Your skin synthesises it from sun exposure, affecting how your body absorbs phosphorus and calcium.
  4. Vitamin E: As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E safeguards cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, it aids in immune function and blood clot prevention.
  5. Coenzyme Q10 (Q10): Q10, crucial for cellular energy metabolism, decreases with age. Testing for Q10 is especially important for individuals over 50 to promote healthy aging.

Importance of Analysis

  • Vitamin B12 & Folate: These two work together to maintain healthy nerve cells and blood cell production. Insufficient levels can cause fatigue and neurological issues. They also regulate homocysteine levels, impacting cardiovascular health.
  • Vitamin D: Essential during the less sunny months, Vitamin D testing ensures you maintain adequate levels for bone and immune health.
  • Vitamin E: Analysing Vitamin E levels is crucial for understanding your body's ability to fight oxidative stress and maintain immune health.
  • Coenzyme Q10 (Q10): Testing for Q10 becomes increasingly important as you age, ensuring your cells metabolise energy effectively.

Who Should Take This Test?

This test is ideal for those on restricted diets, the elderly, individuals with certain medical conditions affecting nutrient absorption, and anyone experiencing symptoms of vitamin deficiencies. It is also valuable for proactive health enthusiasts looking to optimise their vitamin intake and overall well-being.

Who should get a Vitamin B12, Folate, D, E & Q10 test?

Individuals who may particularly benefit from a Vitamin B12, Folate, D, E, & Q10 test include those following vegan or vegetarian diets, which can lead to lower levels of B12 and other key nutrients.

  • Max Thornton
    Navigating the health maze can be challenging without the right tools. The Vitamin Test, targeting B12, Folate, D, E, and Q10, was my chosen ally. The testing process was uncomplicated, and the results came in quickly. The detailed analysis was a game-changer. My deficient B12 and D levels prompted necessary dietary changes. The outcome? Enhanced energy, stabilized mood, and an overall boost in well-being. For those on a health journey, this test is a beacon.
