Product Information

Do you live vegan or vegetarian? Check your vitamin B12 levels easily from home with DoctorBox!

The Vitamin B12 at-home test offers a simple look at your nervous system and energy production. With a small finger prick, you’ll find out if your vitamin B12 level is optimal. The test measures active vitamin B12—holotranscobalamin (holo-TC).

Who is this test suitable for?

Especially for vegans and vegetarians, since vitamin B12 is found in animal products. The at-home test is crucial for detecting deficiencies early and taking action.

How is vitamin B12 measured?

Our test measures the active form of vitamin B12 (Holo-TC). Holo-TC is measured to assess your body’s vitamin B12 status more accurately. It’s the biologically active form of vitamin B12, bound to proteins and directly absorbed by your cells.

The main reason for measuring holo-TC instead of total vitamin B12 is to more accurately diagnose a vitamin B12 deficiency. This way, a deficiency can be detected even in its early stages.

How does sample collection work?

Using the included blood collection kit, you take a small blood sample yourself and send it to our partner lab in the prepaid shipping bag. The DoctorBox App guides you through the process.
