B12 Testing - City Assay

Hello

someone mentioned recently that City Assay did a B12 prick test kit?

I have just been to their website and is not on there, I called and was told this lab does not do B12? does anyone have any further insight or info on who to call at CA?

Blue Horizon is just too expensive.

Thanks

Hi JLTsirius, I think City Assays only do vit D testing. Only other options I know about are asking GP or Blue Horizon.

There's info here: thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

The Vit D finger prick blood spot test is definitely the only test available to the public by City Assays. See second question down here vitamindtest.org.uk/q&a.html

Brilliant, thank you

HI everyone, I think city assay do vitamin D, but not B12.

We do Active B12 at £39, and we continue to donate to Thyroid UK.

Hope this is helpful,

Paul.

Hi JLTsirius,

Yes it is, or it can be done as a standard vacutainer blood draw. ☺
