Vitamin D and vitamin B12 are the two blood tests people most often ask for by name, usually after months of tiredness, aches or tingling in the hands and feet. This combo is for them, and for anyone who has finished a course of supplements and wants to know if it worked. It answers one narrow question: are these two vitamins in range or not?
Vitamin D is measured as 25-hydroxy vitamin D, the form doctors use to judge your stores. Low levels are common in India despite the sunshine, because many people spend the day indoors with their skin covered. Vitamin B12 comes mainly from milk, eggs, fish and meat, so vegetarians, older adults and people on long-term metformin or acidity tablets are more likely to run short. Low B12 can affect nerves and red blood cells, while low vitamin D can affect bones and muscles.
This combo does not tell you about iron, folate or thyroid, which can cause very similar symptoms. If you are not sure what is wrong, a wider panel may save you a second visit. Discuss your result with a doctor before starting high-dose supplements.

Vitamin D and B12 Combo – FAQs
What is the price of the Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 Test Combo?
₹1,799 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the Vitamin D and B12 Combo?
2 tests: Vitamin D Test (25-Hydroxy Vitamin D), Vitamin B12 Test (Cyanocobalamin).
Is fasting required for the Vitamin D and B12 Combo?
Yes. Fast 6 to 8 hours first, and plain water is allowed.
When is the Vitamin Deficiency Panel a better choice than this combo?
This combo measures two vitamins and nothing else. The Vitamin Deficiency Panel adds folic acid, ferritin, calcium and a CBC. Use this combo for a focused check or a recheck, and the panel when you have symptoms and do not yet know the cause.
Is this the same as a vitamin D3 test?
For most people, yes. The test measures 25-hydroxy vitamin D in your blood, which is the standard way to judge vitamin D status. Many people and even some prescriptions call it a D3 test. Your body makes this form from both sunlight and supplements.
Why is my vitamin D low when I get plenty of sun?
Time outdoors does not always mean sun on bare skin. Clothing, sunscreen, darker skin, pollution, age and the time of day all reduce how much vitamin D you make. Body weight and some medicines can also lower it. Your doctor can advise you on what to do.
Should I stop my supplements before this test?
No. Keep taking what your doctor prescribed, and simply take that day's dose after the sample. If you want to know whether a course worked, a good time to test is about three months after starting. Tell your doctor exactly what you take and how much.
