This blood test checks your vitamin B status; Better2Know's own description lists several B vitamins covered under this single result. It suits people wanting an overview of their vitamin B levels rather than a targeted B12 check.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
B vitamins are a group of water-soluble nutrients involved in converting food into energy, supporting nerve function and producing red blood cells. A deficiency can develop through poor diet, certain medical conditions, some medications or absorption problems, and can cause tiredness, numbness or tingling, mood changes or signs of anaemia. Our data records this test as returning a single vitamin B result, although Better2Know's own product description states that it covers several individual B vitamins, including B1, B2, B3, B6, B9 and B12, within that result.
We do not have named comparable products for this specific test in our data. Against the wider vitamins category, £695 is a striking outlier: it sits at more than eight times the £85 median for the 73 similarly sized vitamin tests we track, by a large margin the most expensive test of its kind in our data.
The value for money score is close to the bottom of the scale as a direct result of that gap. The listing scores well for clarity, setting out the biomarker, sample type and turnaround, and reasonably for collection convenience, with a choice of clinic or nurse-visit blood draw. It scores less well on results and follow-up, because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This might suit you only if you specifically want Better2Know's own combined report and are not concerned about cost relative to other providers.
For most people wanting to check a vitamin B12 deficiency specifically, a targeted vitamin B12 test, including Better2Know's own £55 home kit, will be far cheaper; we do not have directly comparable named alternatives to this particular combined test in our data, but the £695 price is well outside the typical range for vitamin tests generally.
You provide a blood sample, taken either at a Better2Know clinic or by a nurse who visits you. The sample is sent to the laboratory for vitamin B analysis. Results are typically available within five days, and you can view them through Better2Know's online patient area. The fact sheet does not state that results are reviewed by a doctor as standard.
Better2Know's Vitamin B Profile returns a single reported result for vitamin B, though the provider's own description lists several individual B vitamins covered. At £695 it is dramatically more expensive than the £85 median for the 73 similarly sized vitamin tests we track. Results take five days and are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
