Vitamin B12 Urine Test

Laboratory chemical analysis to determine the vitamin B12 concentration in urine

As one of the B vitamins, vitamin B12 is involved in a number of important processes in the body. It contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal function of the nervous system, normal mental function and normal function of the immune system. Vitamin B12 is predominantly found in animal products, which is why people with animal-free diets in particular value an adequate supply. Since the vitamin is absorbed through the small intestine, however, people with chronic intestinal problems are also advised to be mindful of their supply.

Whether there is a vitamin B12 deficiency can be found out by a simple urine test with subsequent laboratory analysis. Medivere Vitamin B12 Urine Test analyses the methylmalonic acid status. Methylmalonic acid is an indirect indicator of vitamin B12 deficiency. If there is too little vitamin B12 in the body, there is an increased secretion of the acid.
