General information:
Vitamin B12, like other vitamins, is essential for the normal development and condition of the human body. Its availability in the body depends entirely on the intake of animal products or the use of foods and nutritional supplements enriched with it.

Maintaining normal levels of vitamin B12 has the following benefits:
improves the production and quality of erythrocytes
reduces the risk of fetal defects especially in the first trimester
helps maintain normal bone density⦁ reduces cardiovascular risk by reducing homocysteine levels
improves mood and depressive states⦁ improves memory and protects neurons
promotes healthy hair, nails and skin⦁ improves energy production in the body
Only in Laborescpress 2000 we offer you the latest test for evaluating vitamin B12 - the measurement of its active fraction. It provides information on the two active metabolites of vitamin B12 - methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, which are responsible for its role in the body. The test has much better reliability and diagnostic value compared to the measurement of total vitamin B12. Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency appear late (most often in the form of anemia or neurological symptoms), and the measurement of the total fraction often underestimates the state of the body .
IMPORTANT! After treatment with vitamin B12, the measurement should be performed no earlier than 7 days after the cessation of intake.
