Vitamin B12
The Vitamin B12 test measures your vitamin B12 levels. This vitamin is essential for various health aspects, such as maintaining a healthy nervous system, making red blood cells, and creating the genetic material of our cells. Low vitamin B12 levels are more likely to occur in older adults, children, vegans, vegetarians, people with diabetes, individuals who underwent gastric bypass surgery, women who are breastfeeding, and in conditions like Crohn’s disease that impact the absorption of this vitamin. High vitamin B12 levels are seen in conditions like liver diseases and myeloproliferative disorders. Also, high levels of vitamin B12 are seen in individuals on vitamin supplementation, but this usually does not require treatment as the excess vitamin is flushed out through urine.

Vitamin D Advanced (D2, D3 & D Total)
The Vitamin D Advanced (D2, D3 & D Total) test test checks the levels of all forms of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in the blood, which includes D2, D3, and the total amount.
Vitamin D is an important nutrient the body needs. It can be obtained in two ways: from sunlight or food. There are two main types of vitamin D:
- Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol): comes from plants, fortified foods, and some supplements.
- Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): produced in the skin through sun exposure and also found in animal-based foods.
Before the body can use vitamin D, both D2 and D3 go through changes inside the body. They are absorbed in the small intestine and then processed in the liver and kidneys. They are turned into forms called 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. This test measures 25-hydroxy vitamin D in your blood, which is the best way to check the body’s vitamin D levels.
