You collect the sample at home, using a pin prick blood test and send it back to the labs. We will send you your results about your holotranscobalamin levels and advise whether your values are within the normal range or whether there is a deficiency and how to treat it.
Report shows if B12 levels are sufficient or deficient.
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin also known as cobalamin. It belongs to the essential vitamins. Essential means that the body cannot produce it itself. We have to absorb it through food. The body needs the vitamin for various processes, for example for nerve function, cell division and blood formation. Therefore, deficiency symptoms affect many areas of the body. The body can only utilize the active vitamin B12, which is bound to special transport molecules. It is exactly this holotranscobalamin that our vitamin B12 test measures.
