Vitamin D (25-OH Total) and Vitamin B12 testing in Abu Dhabi from AED 159. Same-day results. 80% of UAE adults are deficient. Walk-in or home collection.
Starting from AED 159. Results in 24 hours.
Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 deficiencies are the two most common — and most under-diagnosed — nutrient gaps in the UAE. They share many of the same symptoms (fatigue, brain fog, hair fall, low mood, weak immunity) which is why checking them together makes far more sense than testing one in isolation.
Vitamin D — 25-hydroxyvitamin D (Total). The clinically accurate marker that reflects both D2 and D3. Optimal range: 30–100 ng/mL.
Vitamin B12 — Cobalamin (Total). The active form measured in serum. Optimal range: 300–900 pg/mL. Below 200 pg/mL indicates clinical deficiency.
- 80% of UAE adults are Vitamin D deficient despite year-round sun (indoor lifestyle, sunscreen, modesty wear, glass-filtered office light)
- ~40% of UAE adults — especially vegetarians, vegans, and adults over 40 — are B12 deficient
- Both deficiencies cause overlapping symptoms: fatigue, low energy, hair fall, tingling in hands/feet, low mood, frequent infections
- Treating only D when B12 is also low leaves you tired and frustrated. Testing both ends the guesswork.
- Constant fatigue that sleep doesn't fix
- Hair shedding or thinning
- Bone, joint, or muscle aches
- Brain fog, poor concentration, low mood
- Tingling or numbness in hands or feet (classic B12 sign)
- Catching every cold or infection going around
- Weak nails, dry skin, pale complexion (B12)

No. Vitamin D and B12 tests do not require fasting. You can have a normal breakfast and take this test any time of day.
Despite abundant sunshine, around 80% of UAE residents are deficient. Reasons: extreme heat keeps people indoors, modesty wear and sunscreen block UV, glass-fronted offices filter the wavelength needed for D synthesis, and car commutes leave little direct sun on skin.
Classic B12 symptoms include tingling or numbness in hands and feet, persistent fatigue, pale skin, shortness of breath on mild exertion, glossitis (sore red tongue), poor balance, memory problems, and low mood. Vegetarians, vegans, adults over 50, and people on metformin or acid-reducers are at higher risk.
Yes — both deficiencies are well-documented causes of diffuse hair shedding. Vitamin D regulates the hair follicle growth cycle, and B12 is essential for healthy red blood cell production that delivers oxygen to follicles. Correcting deficiency usually reduces shedding within 2–4 months.
