B12 & MMA Test thru Viapath St Thomas’s hospital London by post £60

This might be common knowledge but it wasn’t to me so thought I’d share for others.

It has been suggested to me to trial B12 injections for a loading dose however I want to establish if I have an absorption issue, I was advised to test MMA as I supplement with B12 so the B12 test won’t mean much in isolation.

My Dr wouldn’t test me and Medichecks charge £119 or £99 depending on blood or urine MMA.

Therefore the above test seems a bargain and probably more credible with GP’sbeing from St Thomas’s.

Anyway have ordered mine, more questions answered and money left towards the next test 👍 🙄
