Vitamin B12 Blood Tests

Vitamin B12 is a vitamin which is necessary for the formation of red blood cells, tissue and cellular repairs, and nerve health. 

It is primarily found in animal products such as meat, fish, milk and eggs, so it is particularly relevant to anyone on a plant based diet.

This test measures the total amount of vitamin B12 in the blood. It may contribute to the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency, pernicious anemia, malabsorption disorders, and certain gastrointestinal conditions. 

In males and females, low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to anaemia, fatigue, weakness, and neurological symptoms. 

In females, low levels of vitamin B12 can also lead to complications during pregnancy.
