Overview of the Vitamin Profile 2 Test
Vitamin Profile 2 is a comprehensive 11-marker nutritional blood profile assessing several fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins together with Beta Carotene.
The profile includes Vitamin A, Beta Carotene, Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, Red Cell Vitamin B9, Active Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin E.
Different vitamins perform different physiological functions, including supporting energy metabolism, red blood-cell production, nervous-system function, vision, immunity, antioxidant protection and bone health.
Deficiency can result from reduced dietary intake, restricted diets, malabsorption, gastrointestinal disease, increased nutritional requirements or other medical factors.
Testing several vitamins together can provide broader nutritional information than measuring Vitamin D or Vitamin B12 alone.
Results should be interpreted alongside diet, symptoms, supplements and medical history. The Vitamin Profile 2 costs £642.
What Does the Vitamin Profile 2 Test Check?
Vitamin Profile 2 assesses a broad combination of fat-soluble and B-group vitamins. This test measures 11 biomarkers.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin A (Retinol) :: Measures Retinol, the principal circulating form of Vitamin A, which is important for vision, immune function and normal cell development.
bi-check-circle :: Beta Carotene :: Measures a dietary carotenoid that can be converted into Vitamin A and also has antioxidant activity.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) :: Measures Thiamine, which plays an important role in carbohydrate and energy metabolism and normal nervous-system function.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) :: Measures Riboflavin, a vitamin involved in cellular energy production and several enzyme pathways.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide) :: Measures Nicotinamide, a form of Vitamin B3 involved in cellular energy metabolism.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) :: Measures Vitamin B6, which is involved in amino-acid metabolism, neurotransmitter pathways and blood-cell function.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) – Red Cell :: Measures Folate within red blood cells and provides information about longer-term Folate status.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin B12 (Active) :: Measures the biologically available fraction of Vitamin B12.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin C (Frozen) :: Measures Vitamin C status using the specialist frozen-sample assay.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin D :: Measures Vitamin D status, which is relevant to Calcium regulation, bone health, muscle function and other physiological processes.
bi-check-circle :: Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol) :: Measures Alpha Tocopherol, the principal form of Vitamin E and an important fat-soluble antioxidant.
Who May Benefit From the Vitamin Profile 2 Test?
Vitamin Profile 2 may be useful for people who want a broad assessment of several important vitamin pathways rather than testing one nutrient at a time.
People with a restricted or highly selective diet - Broad testing can assess several nutrients simultaneously.
People experiencing persistent fatigue - Vitamin abnormalities are one of several possible contributors that may warrant investigation.
People with gastrointestinal or malabsorption concerns - Nutrient absorption can be affected by several gastrointestinal conditions.
People taking multiple vitamin supplements - Testing can provide objective information before unnecessary supplementation is continued.
People with previous vitamin deficiencies - A broader profile can assess whether additional nutrients are also affected.
People undergoing nutritional assessment - The panel combines ten commonly relevant vitamin-related measurements.
People with unexplained neurological or general health symptoms - Several B vitamins are involved in nervous-system and metabolic function.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Vitamin Profile 2 Test
Vitamin abnormalities can cause a wide range of non-specific symptoms, although these symptoms can have many other causes.
Persistent tiredness or reduced energy - B-group vitamins and other nutritional factors may be relevant.
Restricted dietary intake - Limited food variety can increase the risk of selected deficiencies.
Tingling or neurological symptoms - B-vitamin status may form part of a broader investigation.
Previous low Vitamin D or B12 - Repeat testing may help monitor current status.
Possible malabsorption - Multiple vitamin deficiencies can occur when nutrient absorption is impaired.
Long-term supplementation without recent testing - Measuring current levels may help avoid unnecessary or excessive supplementation.
Symptoms attributed to vitamin deficiency are often non-specific.
Persistent neurological, gastrointestinal or systemic symptoms should therefore receive appropriate clinical assessment rather than relying on vitamin testing alone.
How to Prepare
Do not stop medically prescribed supplementation without appropriate clinical advice.
Where repeat testing is used for monitoring, consistent preparation can make comparison more meaningful.
How to Book Your Vitamin Profile 2 Test
Vitamin Profile 2 requires professional venous collection because several specialist vitamin assays and specimen types are involved.
Choose the Vitamin Profile 2 Test
Select the comprehensive 11-marker vitamin profile (test price £642).
Select your sample collection option
Choose in-clinic phlebotomy (+£35) or a home visit from a phlebotomist (+£60).
Attend your appointment
The required specialist blood specimens are collected.
Laboratory analysis
Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, D and E plus Beta Carotene are analysed.

Your complete Vitamin Profile 2 report is delivered once all components are authorised.
When Will I Receive My Results?
Results are generally expected within approximately 5 days.
Several specialist vitamin assays are included, so the complete profile is released once all components have been processed.
Laboratory quality-control requirements can occasionally extend reporting.
Understanding Your Results
Each vitamin result is compared with the reporting laboratory's reference range.
A low result may suggest inadequate intake, reduced absorption, increased requirements or another relevant factor depending on the nutrient.
A result above the expected range can also be clinically important, particularly for some fat-soluble vitamins.
Results should therefore be reviewed alongside supplementation, diet, symptoms and relevant medical history.
Broad nutritional results are most useful when interpreted as a pattern rather than focusing on one isolated value.
