About this test

If you're looking to assess your heart health or check for vitamin deficiencies, this test measures homocysteine levels in your blood. High homocysteine levels have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and blood clots, as well as deficiencies in B vitamins like B12 and folate.

You'll need to visit Inuvi Clinic in London to collect your sample as the sample is not suitable for posting.
