Vitamin D and B12 Test
Vitamin B12 and D are key to ensuring that your body works well and in optimal working order. Vitamin B12 is key in the functioning and development of both brain and nerve cells. Vitamin D helps the body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus; both are critical for building bone.
