Vitamin Profile

What is included (3 tests)

About the Vitamin Profile

The vitamin profile checks vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folate, the three most common deficiencies in India. Low vitamin D can cause bone and muscle pain, low B12 can cause tiredness and tingling, and low folate can cause anaemia and affect pregnancy.

Symptoms and situations where this test helps

• Tiredness, body ache, muscle weakness or bone pain
• Tingling or numbness in hands and feet, memory trouble
• Vegetarian or vegan diet, little sun exposure
• Taking metformin or antacids for a long time

Understanding your results

Vitamin D below 20 ng/mL is generally considered deficient, and 20 to 30 insufficient. Low B12 can cause nerve problems even before anaemia appears. Your doctor decides the supplement dose and duration and repeats the test after treatment.

What your doctor may advise next

Your doctor may advise supplements or injections and diet changes, and a repeat test after a few months.
