What it is for
- Vitamin Profile
Why people check it
Your body needs these vitamins for its cells to work, grow and develop. B12 and folate are linked to anaemia; vitamin D looks after bones and muscles. Low levels of any of them can leave you tired and weak.
Can be done with a finger-prick kit at home, at a collection point or with home collection on request.
Vitamin ProfileWho it is for
