Verisana B Vitamins Test – Monitor Your Folate and Vitamin B12 Values from Home

Who Should Take This Test?

This test is perfect for anyone concerned about their B vitamin status. Vegetarians and vegans, older adults, and individuals with digestive issues such as Crohn’s or coeliac disease commonly experience lower levels of vitamin B12 and folate. If you suffer from persistent tiredness, poor concentration, or mood changes, monitoring these nutrients can provide useful insight. Long-term uses of certain medications, including metformin and proton pump inhibitors, may also affect B12 levels. This kit helps you take control of your health from home, without a trip to the GP.

How the Test Works: Simple and Convenient

Your kit contains a sterile lancet, collection tube, alcohol swab, plaster, and full instructions. After registering your kit online, uses the lancet to obtain a few drops of blood from your fingertip and transfer them to the tube. Post the sample back using the prepaid envelope provided. Once received at our certified laboratory, results are typically available within 5–7 working days and sent directly to your email.

What Is the Verisana B Vitamins Test?

This at-home test kit analyses your levels of two essential B vitamins: folate (vitamin B9) and vitamin B12. These nutrients play a key role in energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system health. With a simple finger-prick sample, you can discover your vitamin status without needing to visit a clinic.

Why Monitor Your B9 and B12 Levels?

Vitamin B12 and folate are water-soluble and not stored in large amounts, so regular intake is important. Low levels can occur due to dietary choices, absorption problems, or certain medications. By testing, you can see whether your levels are within the normal range – then take steps to optimise them if needed. Remember, vitamin B12 and folate contribute to normal energy metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal red blood cell formation.
