DESCRIPTION
This test measures levels of vitamins B1, B2 and B6.
These are common deficiencies and I do not often do this test because I recommend taking B vitamins routinely. However some people do not believe me and want to do the test anyway. It is a good way of persuading people to take supplements regularly!
SAMPLE
Blood
KIT
The kit for this test includes a green topped blood tube, packaging materials for transporting the blood sample in the post, a self-addressed enveloped for returning the sample to the lab and a request form.
INSTRUCTIONS
- It is essential that the sample arrives at the laboratory within 24 hours of having been taken, so it's best to arrange an early morning appointment with a nurse to take blood.
- Make arrangements to have blood sample taken
- Make sure that your name, date of birth and date sample taken are correctly entered on the blood tube
- Make sure all the necessary details are correct on the laboratory request form.
- Post the sample in the packaging provided making sure that the laboratory request form is enclosed with the samples.
- Do not post the sample on a Friday.
- Please note that there is an additional interpretation fee for my letter to your GP. See Ordering Tests for more details.
