A 3-marker blood test combining ferritin, vitamin B12 and vitamin D, aimed at people at higher risk of these common deficiencies, such as those on plant-based diets or with limited sun exposure.
3 biomarkers as listed by Selph.
The Iron, Vitamin D & B12 Deficiency Blood Test measures ferritin, active vitamin B12 and vitamin D, three of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the UK. Testing them together suits people at higher risk of more than one, such as those on plant-based diets, who are more likely to be low in iron and B12, or anyone with limited sun exposure, which affects vitamin D.
Its 3 markers place it in the 69th percentile among the vitamin tests we track, and at £79 it costs about 7% less than the £85 median for similarly sized vitamin panels. There is no direct comparison group of equivalent 3-marker combination tests in our data to benchmark it against more precisely.
It scores well across Clinical Depth, Collection Convenience and Trust Signals, the latter two reflecting the choice of collection method and doctor review of every result within 1 to 2 days.
This suits you if you want ferritin, B12 and vitamin D checked together rather than ordering three separate tests, for example if you are on a plant-based diet or spend most of your time indoors. If you only need one of these three markers, Selph's single-marker Iron Deficiency Blood Test (£49) would cost less.
You can collect a sample at home with a finger-prick kit included in the price, or pay more for the Tasso EasyDraw device, a clinic visit or a nurse draw at home or work; a self-arranged venous draw is also included. A Selph doctor reviews your results and provides a written report, typically within 1 to 2 days.
