This test measures vitamin B2 (riboflavin), a nutrient involved in energy production, skin health and eye function. It suits people with signs of possible deficiency, such as cracked lips or a sore tongue, or those at higher risk like vegans and vegetarians.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) plays a role in energy production, skin health and eye function, and this test checks that single marker in your blood. It may be relevant if you have symptoms sometimes linked to low B2, such as cracked lips or a sore tongue, or if your diet puts you at higher risk, for example if you are vegan or vegetarian.
As a single-marker test, clinical depth sits in the lower half of the vitamin tests we track, and pricing is on the high side: £102 against an £85 median for similarly sized vitamin tests. There is no at-home collection option, so you will need a venous blood draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit, and turnaround runs to around 9 days, one of the slower results times among the tests in this fact sheet.
Trust signals score well based on the provider's Trustpilot record, lab accreditation and trading history, and a doctor reviews every result before it is released to you.
This is worth considering if you have a specific reason to check riboflavin, such as diet-related symptoms or a condition affecting absorption, and you are comfortable with a venous blood draw and a longer wait for results. If you want a faster or cheaper way to check general nutrition, a broader vitamin panel with a shorter turnaround is likely to serve you better.
We do not have a directly comparable single vitamin B2 test logged for another provider, so we cannot say whether a cheaper alternative exists elsewhere.
The sample is taken as a venous blood draw, either at an in-store clinic or through a home nurse visit; there is no finger-prick option for this test. The lab analyses the sample for vitamin B2, a doctor reviews the result, and your report is typically ready in around 9 days.
This £102 test measures vitamin B2 (riboflavin) alone and costs more than the £85 median for similarly sized vitamin tests we track. It needs a venous blood draw at a clinic or home nurse visit, and results take around 9 days. There is no comparable test logged in this group to confirm whether a cheaper option exists.
