Standard Screen Plus + Folic Acid + Vitamin B12 (Male) Blood Test
From £220 · Results within 24–48 hours · Open 7 days
About this test
A male-specific enhanced screen incorporating folate and B12 alongside comprehensive organ function and hormonal markers. Both B12 and folate play critical roles in homocysteine metabolism — elevated homocysteine is an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Deficiency of either nutrient causes macrocytic anaemia and, in the case of B12, potentially irreversible neurological damage.
Note: Male standard screen plus panel with the addition of serum folate and vitamin B12.
What this test can detect
- B12 deficiency — neurological, haematological, and cognitive consequences
- Folate deficiency — elevated homocysteine and impaired DNA synthesis
- All conditions identified by the male standard screen plus panel
Who should have this test?
- Men who are vegetarian or vegan and at elevated B12 risk
- Those on metformin or proton pump inhibitors which deplete B12
- Men with symptoms of B12 deficiency — fatigue, tingling, or cognitive symptoms
- Anyone wanting a comprehensive panel that includes folate and B12 alongside hormonal and metabolic assessment
