Active B12
What the Active B12 blood test checks
The Active B12 blood test measures holotranscobalamin, the biologically available form of vitamin B12. This marker can support assessment of B12 status when symptoms, diet or previous results need follow-up.
This test may be useful for people reviewing vegan or vegetarian intake, supplementation, tiredness, tingling, numbness, memory concerns or anaemia follow-up with a healthcare professional.
Biomarker included
Active vitamin B12
