Questions we could help with

Real questions from people like you, and how a B-vitamins blood test helps answer them.

Why can't I concentrate lately?

B-vitamin imbalances affect neurotransmitter production and nerve signaling, impacting focus and mental clarity.

Could mood swings be linked to my nutrition?

B12 and folate support synthesis of serotonin and dopamine. Measuring them reveals low levels.

Why does my skin look dull?

Folate supports cell renewal and tissue repair. Low levels slow regeneration and affect skin vitality.

Why am I always tired?

Low B12 vitamins could contribute. The test screens for these so you can take action.

“Fles to Zürich to get Ahead's MRI + blood test. Both Ahead's team and the partner's were super professional, and guided me step-by-step through the experience. The scan was short, blood draw uneventful, and I was in time to make my plane back. I really liked the report itself: simple to understand, with enough actual clinical depth.”

“Thank you, Ahead Health, I highly recommend your services and we surely stay in touch (hopefully only for preventative reasons!) As an enthusiastic athlete and simply a woman in her early 30s, I've finally come to realization that our bodies and health definitely need our support along the life journey we embark on as one. Just before turning 33 and running my 7th marathon, I couldn't help but checking my blood as I've been feeling rather fatigued and also mindful of yet again another birthday and a race. It was so simple! Ahead Health website is clear, user friendly and what I especially appreciate, not overpowering with things one doesn't need (aka a million of extra products where you feel like at a sales market). From the main page to choosing what one is looking for and booking an appointment - easy and with a very little time spent. Simple instructions on what not to do and what to do. Thank you, Ahead Health, I highly recommend your services and we surely stay in touch (hopefully only for preventative reasons!) Tatiana”

Frequently asked questions

No, please keep taking your prescribed medications as usual – with a few exceptions on the morning of your blood draw. This allows us to assess your health in the context of your real-life routine.

Please include what you take and the dosage in your questionnaire so our medical team can interpret your results accurately.

On the morning of your test, please pause:

Iron supplements: stop 24–48 hours before your draw – iron supplements temporarily raise circulating serum iron and can skew your results. Resume your usual dose right after the blood draw. (Fasting also matters for this – see our iron biomarker page for details.)
Biotin (vitamin B7 – e.g. in hair, skin and nail supplements): at a standard dose (up to 5 mg/day), stop 48–72 hours before your test. It can interfere with several hormone measurements, including thyroid tests, causing falsely low TSH and falsely high free T4/T3. If you take high-dose biotin (over 5 mg/day – e.g. prescribed for hair/nail growth or another prescribed use), extend this to 3–7 days beforehand. A standard multivitamin is fine to continue. If high-dose biotin was prescribed by your doctor, don't stop without speaking to them first, and let us know in the medical questionnaire.
Thyroid medication (e.g. levothyroxine): take it after your blood draw, not before – taking it beforehand causes a temporary spike in free T4 that affects your baseline result.

Also worth mentioning in your questionnaire:

Creatine: may influence markers related to kidney function.
Finasteride or dutasteride (e.g. for hair loss or an enlarged prostate): these lower PSA by about half, so if you're booking the PSA add-on, flag this in your questionnaire so your result is interpreted correctly.

It's your body. Time to get the full picture.
