About the test

What can I expect from Vitamin Profile?

This profile checks vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folate (vitamin B9). These nutrients are important for normal blood-cell production, nervous-system function, bone and muscle health and many other cellular processes.

B12 and folate deficiency can have significant effects on blood and neurological health, while vitamin D deficiency is common in the UK and can affect bone and muscle health. Testing the three together provides a useful overview of these common nutritional markers.

Full profile breakdown

What gets tested?

The biomarkers included in this profile are grouped below so you can see exactly what is being assessed.

Vitamins

Vitamins are required for normal cell function, growth and development. Measuring selected vitamins can help identify deficiencies that may contribute to common symptoms and health problems.

Folate (vitamin B9)

Folate is required for DNA synthesis, cell division and normal red-blood-cell production. Deficiency can contribute to anaemia and is especially important during pregnancy because of its role in fetal neural-tube development.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is required for normal red-blood-cell formation, DNA synthesis and nervous-system function. Deficiency can cause anaemia and neurological symptoms and is more common with reduced dietary intake or impaired absorption.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is important for calcium regulation, bone and muscle health and normal immune function. Low levels are common in the UK, particularly after winter or in people with limited sun exposure.

Your report

How do I read my results?

Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.

Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP. Alternatively you can book an appointment with one of our Private GP for £49 if you would like to discuss your results in more detail.

For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.
