BIOHIT Active B12 (HoloTC)
Vitamin B12 deficiency develops slowly and may be asymptomatic fora long time, and that is why it often stays unnoticed. Deficiency of this essential nutrient can cause anaemia and symptoms of the nervous system, such as muscle weakness, sensation and memory disorders.
BIOHIT Active B12 not only identifies vitamin B12 deficiency earlier,but also is a more reliable test than BIOHIT Active B12. This is be causemost of the body’s vitamin B12 is bound to storage proteins and is not available for active use by cells. So although total vitamin B12 levels may appear to be sufficient, you may actually have vitamin B12deficiency.
The test is a simple blood test. The Accuracy of the test is better than standard vitamin B12 tests because the BIOHIT test exclusively measures the active form of vitamin B12.
