I've not had an active B12 test for years. I'm not sure I trust the serum version.

Where's best to buy such a test?

Excellent! I buy my thyroid kits there, one arrived today. I didn't think to look at what else they might offer. They didn't used to offer much more than thyoid.

Its probably more economical to do a package of vitamin tests as opposed to a stand alone active B12. Monitor My Health likely the cheapest and then Medichecks. Depends if you need a blood draw or can do finger prick tests.

Do also do a google search of your local county/area for blood test labs. I recently found a new small independent lab group in my area that will price match Medichecks and include the blood draw in the price, was in Surrey/Sussex.

I don't need the package because I have a full works done regularly for the endo. It's just the B12 is always serum.

MMH don't do stand alone vitamin tests so likely Medichecks for best price.
