What does the test measure?
25-OH-vitamin D
The marker used to assess the body's Vitamin D status.
Vitamin B12
Total B12 includes several protein-bound forms of the vitamin.
Holotranscobalamin – active B12
The fraction of B12 bound to transcobalamin that can be taken up by the body's cells.
Ferritin
Ferritin is used as a marker for the body's iron stores but can also be affected by inflammation.
Transferrin
Transferrin is the primary transport protein for iron in the blood.
Common symptoms and when the test may be relevant
The profile provides a broader basis for assessment in cases of fatigue, a restricted diet, or low sun exposure, or when you wish to monitor previous vitamin and iron-related levels.
Deficiencies can manifest alongside symptoms such as fatigue, reduced energy, muscle weakness, tingling, or numbness. These symptoms are non-specific and can have many other causes.
Who is this test for?
- For those who want to check levels of vitamin D, B12, and iron-related markers simultaneously.
- For those following a restricted or predominantly plant-based diet.
- For those wishing to monitor the effects of supplements or track previous levels in consultation with a healthcare professional.

Before sample collection
Follow the instructions in the sample collection kit. Dietary supplements can affect the result. Do not alter prescribed treatment without medical advice.
Laboratory and quality
The sample is analyzed at a medical laboratory accredited according to ISO 15189. The laboratory's quality assurance also adheres to Rili-BÄK guidelines for laboratory medical testing.
- Sample material: liquid capillary blood
- Collection site: at home
- Result: digital laboratory result
- Turnaround time: transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total time
Results and reference values
The result displays the analyzed markers and any calculated values, along with the laboratory's units and current reference intervals. Results should be interpreted in the context of age, gender, symptoms, medications, lifestyle habits, and medical history.
Important information about the result
A health check can identify abnormal laboratory values but does not provide a medical diagnosis or rule out disease. Contact a healthcare provider in the event of significantly abnormal results, persistent symptoms, or concerns.
Results and reference values
You will receive five quantitative laboratory values, including the laboratory's units and current reference intervals. Ferritin levels can be affected by inflammation, and results should be evaluated in conjunction with symptoms, diet, supplements, and medical history.
Frequently asked questions
Which markers are included?
25-OH-vitamin D, total B12, active B12, ferritin, and transferrin.
What is the difference between total and active B12?
Total B12 encompasses several forms, whereas active B12 represents the fraction available to the cells.
Can ferritin levels be affected by inflammation?
Yes, ferritin levels can rise during inflammation and infection.
Can dietary supplements affect the results?
Yes. The result should be interpreted with regard to the supplements you are taking.
Can the test diagnose a deficiency?
The values provide information but may need to be supplemented and medically evaluated.
