Vitamin B12 Deficiency: The Silent Cause of Fatigue You Shouldn’t Ignore
If you’re constantly exhausted, foggy-headed, or struggling to focus, you could be low in a nutrient your body depends on daily: Vitamin B12.
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we offer a fast, discreet private vitamin B12 test in London, with same-day appointments, rapid results, and expert guidance — no long waits, no confusion.
Why Vitamin B12 Matter
Vitamin B12 is crucial for:
- Red blood cell production
- Nerve health and signalling
- Brain clarity and memory
- Energy metabolism
- DNA and cell repair
A deficiency can affect almost every system in your body. Our private vitamin B12 test ensures you detect problems early, before symptoms worsen.
Signs You May Need a Private Vitamin B12 Test
Vitamin B12 deficiency can creep up slowly. Here are the most common signs:
- Fatigue, tiredness, or weakness
- Brain fog, poor memory, low focus
- Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
- Pale or yellow-tinged skin
- Low mood or irritability
- Mouth ulcers or sore tongue
- Shortness of breath or dizziness
- Irregular heartbeat (in severe cases)
Many patients are misdiagnosed with stress, burnout, or even depression — when a private vitamin B12 test reveals the real cause.
Who’s at Risk of Vitamin B12 Deficiency?
You may benefit from a private vitamin B12 test if you:
- Follow a vegan or vegetarian diet
- Have IBS, Crohn’s, coeliac disease, or other gut conditions
- Are over the age of 50
- Take metformin, antacids, or hormonal birth control
- Have a family history of B12 or folate deficiency
