🧬 What Does This Test Check?

This panel includes:

🧪 Vitamin D

🧪 Vitamin B12

🧪 Vitamin B9 / Folate

👩‍⚕️ Who May This Test Be Suitable For?

This test may be suitable if you:

😴 Feel tired, weak or low in energy

🧠 Experience brain fog or poor concentration

🌧️ Have limited sunlight exposure

🥗 Follow a restricted, vegan or vegetarian diet

💊 Want to check key vitamin levels before supplementing

📌 Symptoms of vitamin deficiency can overlap with many other conditions, so results should be interpreted alongside your wider health picture.

⚡ Why Are These Vitamins Important?

☀️ Vitamin D supports bone health, muscle function and immune system function.

🩸 Vitamin B12 is important for red blood cell production, nerve function and energy metabolism.

🌿 Folate / Vitamin B9 supports healthy red blood cell formation and is especially important before and during pregnancy.

💡 Checking these three vitamins together gives a useful overview of common nutritional markers linked with tiredness and general wellbeing.

🔍 Why Test These Vitamins Together?

Vitamin symptoms can be vague and can overlap. For example, tiredness, weakness, low mood, poor concentration and pins and needles may have several possible causes.

This test looks at:

☀️ Vitamin D — often low with limited sunlight exposure

🩸 B12 — important for nerves and blood cells

🌿 Folate — important for blood cell formation and cell growth

💡 Testing these together can give a clearer picture than checking just one vitamin in isolation.
