The Vitamin B12 Blood Test measures levels of B12 (Cobalamin), a vitamin essential for making red blood cells, protecting nerves, and supporting energy production. Low B12 can cause fatigue, anaemia, memory issues, and nerve problems, while healthy levels are vital for brain function and overall wellbeing.

The Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) Blood Test measures levels of riboflavin, a vitamin that helps your body turn food into energy and supports healthy red blood cells. Low B2 can cause fatigue, mouth sores, cracked lips, and increase the risk of anaemia, while good levels help maintain energy and overall health.

The Vitamin B6 Blood Test measures levels of pyridoxine, a B-vitamin that helps your body process protein, make red blood cells, and keep the nervous system working properly. Low B6 can cause anaemia, irritability, confusion, or nerve problems, while healthy levels support energy, brain health, and overall wellbeing.

The Vitamin B9 (Folate) Blood Test measures levels of folate, a B-vitamin that helps make red blood cells and supports DNA and cell growth. Low folate can cause anaemia, fatigue, and in pregnancy increase the risk of birth defects, while healthy levels support energy, metabolism, and overall wellbeing.

The Vitamin C Blood Test measures levels of this essential vitamin, which supports immune defence, helps the body heal, and protects cells from damage. Low vitamin C can cause fatigue, slow wound healing, and in severe cases, scurvy. Adequate levels are important for energy, skin health, and overall wellbeing.

The Vitamin E Blood Test measures levels of this key antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. Adequate vitamin E supports immunity, skin health, and circulation, while low levels may increase the risk of oxidative stress and related health issues.

The Zinc Blood Test measures levels of zinc, an essential mineral needed for immune function, wound healing, hormone balance, and metabolism. Low zinc can lead to poor immunity, skin problems, and fertility issues, while high levels may indicate excessive supplementation or exposure.
