Vitamins Test (B12, Folic acid, D, E & Q10)

About this test

Key Benefits

• Measures key vitamins including B12, folate, D, E, and Q10

• Provides insight into energy levels, immune function, and cell health

• Helps identify potential vitamin deficiencies or imbalances

• Useful for individuals with restricted diets or absorption issues

• Supports more informed decisions about nutrition and supplementation

• Simple at-home blood test, no clinic visit required

What This Test Measures

This test analyzes:

• Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): Supports nerve function, DNA production, and energy metabolism

• Folate (Vitamin B9): Important for cell division, red blood cell formation, and growth

• Vitamin D (25(OH)D): Supports bone health, immune function, and calcium absorption

• Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol): Acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress

• Coenzyme Q10 (Q10): Supports cellular energy production and acts as an antioxidant

Together, these markers provide a broad overview of your nutritional balance and overall health status.

Who Should Take This Test?

This test is suitable for anyone who wants to assess their vitamin levels, especially individuals following plant-based diets, older adults, or those with digestive conditions that may affect nutrient absorption. It may also be relevant for people experiencing fatigue, low energy, or reduced immune function.

How It Works & Sample Collection

Order your kit online, collect a finger-prick blood sample at home, and send it back using the prepaid envelope. Your digital results are provided once the analysis is complete.

For best accuracy, take the test in the morning while fasting.

Accredited Laboratory and Analysis

Your sample is analyzed in an accredited laboratory using advanced analytical methods including Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA), Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA), and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), ensuring accurate, reliable, and high-quality results.

Biomarkers included

• Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and neurological function. It's primarily found in animal products, making vegetarians and vegans at higher risk of deficiency. B12 deficiency can lead to pernicious anemia, fatigue, neurological problems (including numbness, tingling, and memory issues), and elevated homocysteine levels, incr
• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage caused by free radicals. It is crucial for immune function, skin health, and red blood cell formation. Measuring Vitamin E levels helps assess nutritional status and antioxidant capacity.
• Folate: Folate (vitamin B9) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and normal red blood cell formation. It is especially important during pregnancy because adequate folate status supports early fetal development and helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Folate also participates in methylation pathways and homocysteine metabolism, where low folate can contribute to e
• Coenzyme Q10: CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a vital compound that plays a key role in energy production within every cell of the body. It also functions as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage. CoQ10 is essential for supporting overall health and proper cellular function.
• Vitamin D: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin crucial for calcium absorption and bone health, playing a key role in phosphorus metabolism and immune system function. Its importance extends to muscle function, nerve signaling, and reducing inflammation. Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels is vital for overall well-being and disease prevention.

How to prepare

**1-2 weeks before:** Avoid high-dose B12 supplements unless you want them reflected in your results. **24-48 hours before:** No alcohol, smoking or excessive caffeine and excerise. **8-12 hours before:** Only drinking water to prevent interference from recent meals. **Medications:** Certain medications like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), metformin, and some antibiotics can affect B12 levels.

Frequently asked questions

How does it work? / When do I get my results?

1. Order and receive your kit. 2. Perform the test. 3. Send a sample at the beginning of the week (to avoid delays). 4. Results digitally in 10–15 business days.

Why are Folate and B12 measured together?

Folate and Vitamin B12 are critical for DNA synthesis and normal cell division. Deficiencies can lead to anemia, neurological issues, and during pregnancy, can affect fetal development. Identifying low levels allows for targeted intervention to prevent these complications.
