Hi,

That's good to hear. I would add that some GP practices in UK may not be willing to draw blood for private blood tests.

Thank you for that . That’s a huge step forward . Only wish it had been available 3 years ago .

Hi. That sounds good value, but just check that they are actually able to send out the kits. I paid £102 in January for a postal kit to test Active B12 and MMA, they took my money then sent an email saying the kit could not be sent but there was no mention of a refund.

I had to make several phone calls before the money was refunded.
