Can anyone tell me if the Blue Horizon Tests which include B12/folate etc are actually Active B12 or just total B12 that you get at the GP - Thanks

It states that it is not the Active B12 test.

They do Active B12 separately

As does Medichecks

Blue Horizon makes a donation to ThyroidUK for each test carried out, Medichecks doesn't.
