What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing persistent fatigue, low energy, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, or unexplained weakness. It helps identify B vitamin deficiencies that may be affecting your energy production, metabolism, brain function, and overall vitality. This test is especially important for vegetarians, vegans, older adults, or anyone who suspects their diet may not be providing adequate B vitamins.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your B vitamin levels mean for your energy, mood, and metabolism. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, specific B vitamin supplements to consider, and lifestyle adjustments to improve absorption. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your vitamin levels over time using our trends feature to see how supplementation or dietary changes are working.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide and Nicotinic Acid), Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12. This comprehensive panel evaluates all major B vitamins essential for energy production and nervous system function. It checks Vitamin B1 (thiamine) for nerve health and metabolism, B2 (riboflavin) for energy conversion, B3 (nicotinamide and nicotinic acid) for cellular energy, B5 (pantothenic acid) for hormone production, B6 for brain function and mood regulation, and B12 for red blood cell formation and neurological health. Together, these measurements reveal whether vitamin deficiencies are contributing to your fatigue, brain fog, or metabolic issues.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 8 hours before your blood draw, meaning no food or beverages except water during this time. It's also preferred to avoid taking any vitamin supplements for 24 hours before the test to ensure accurate baseline measurements. You can take the test at any time of day as long as you meet the fasting requirement.

When will I get my results?

Your results will typically be available within 7 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any confirmation testing is needed for accuracy, the turnaround time may be extended slightly, but you'll be notified if this occurs.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is especially important for vegetarians and vegans since B vitamins are primarily found in animal products, making deficiency more likely. It's also valuable for older adults who may have absorption issues, people with digestive conditions like Crohn's or celiac disease, those taking certain medications that deplete B vitamins, and anyone experiencing chronic fatigue or neurological symptoms. If you follow a restricted diet or have unexplained energy issues, this test provides crucial insights.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms of B vitamin deficiency include persistent fatigue and weakness, difficulty concentrating or brain fog, mood changes like irritability or depression, tingling or numbness in hands and feet, pale skin or anemia, digestive issues, and poor appetite. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, especially if you follow a plant-based diet or have absorption issues, testing your B vitamin levels can help identify the root cause.

How can I naturally increase my B vitamin levels?

Include more B vitamin-rich foods in your diet like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products for comprehensive B vitamin coverage. For plant-based sources, focus on fortified cereals and breads, nutritional yeast, legumes, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and whole grains. However, if you're vegetarian or vegan, you'll likely need a B12 supplement since it's not naturally found in plants. Improving gut health through probiotics can also enhance B vitamin absorption.

Why is Vitamin B12 so important?

Vitamin B12 is essential for producing red blood cells, maintaining healthy nerve cells, and creating DNA. Without adequate B12, you can develop anemia, which causes extreme fatigue and weakness, as well as neurological problems like numbness, balance issues, and memory problems. B12 deficiency can cause permanent nerve damage if left untreated, making it especially important to monitor if you don't consume animal products.

What does low Vitamin B6 mean?

Low Vitamin B6 can affect your mood, cognitive function, and immune system since B6 is crucial for neurotransmitter production including serotonin and dopamine. Deficiency may cause depression, confusion, weakened immunity, anemia, and skin rashes. It's often linked to inadequate dietary intake, certain medications, or conditions that impair absorption.

How often should I retest my B vitamin levels?

If you're deficient and starting supplementation, retest in 8-12 weeks to ensure your levels are improving and your dosage is appropriate. Once your levels are optimal, annual testing is usually sufficient for monitoring unless you have ongoing absorption issues or dietary restrictions. If you're making significant dietary changes or starting a plant-based diet, testing every 6 months for the first year can help ensure you're meeting your nutritional needs.
