About this test

Are you experiencing symptoms of low vitamin B12, such as extreme tiredness, low energy, muscle weakness, or poor memory?

If your diet lacks B12-rich foods like meat, fish, or dairy, or you have a health condition that affects absorption-such as Crohn's or coeliac disease, or pernicious anaemia - you may be at risk.
