Vitamin Testing in Hyderabad
Tiredness, body aches, hair fall and tingling in the feet are often blamed on stress or age. Quite often the cause is a vitamin or mineral shortfall that a simple blood test can find and that is easy to correct.

About Vitamin Testing
Vitamin D and vitamin B12 deficiencies are very common in India, including in sunny cities like Hyderabad. Office work, covered clothing and time indoors mean many people get little sun on their skin, and a vegetarian diet provides little natural B12.
Vitamin D supports bones, muscles and immunity; low levels cause aches, weakness and, over time, weaker bones. B12 is needed for nerves and red blood cells; a shortfall can cause fatigue, numbness or tingling, memory problems and a particular type of anemia.
Because the symptoms are vague, testing is the only reliable way to know. It also tells your doctor how much supplement you need, and a repeat test confirms that levels have come back up.
Who should get tested
- Constant tiredness, low energy or muscle weakness
- Bone or back pain, or frequent cramps
- Tingling, numbness or a burning feeling in the hands or feet
- Vegetarians and vegans (B12), and people who rarely go out in the sun (vitamin D)
- Long-term use of metformin or acid-reducing tablets, which lower B12
- Pregnancy planning, older adults, and people with thyroid or digestive conditions
Vitamins tests and packages at Focus Diagnostics
20 options are available for vitamins, from single tests to packages. Book online, at any of our Hyderabad centres, or with home sample collection.
What the key tests tell you
- Vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D)
- The standard measure of vitamin D stores. Below 20 ng/mL is usually considered deficient and 20–29 insufficient.
- Vitamin B12
- Low levels cause anemia and nerve symptoms. Borderline results may be confirmed with homocysteine.
- Folate (folic acid)
- Works with B12 in making red blood cells; important before and during pregnancy.
- Iron studies and ferritin
- Show whether iron stores are low, which is a common cause of tiredness and hair fall, especially in women.
- Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium
- Minerals that work with vitamin D for bones, muscles and nerves.
- Nutrition panels
- Groups these tests together with CBC and zinc for a fuller picture at a lower combined price.
Before your test
- Most vitamin tests need no fasting; follow any specific instruction given at booking.
- If you already take supplements, mention the dose. For B12, avoid taking a supplement on the morning of the test.
- Iron studies are best done in the morning, ideally fasting.
Understanding your results
Low results are usually treated with diet changes and supplements in a dose and duration your doctor decides. Very high doses taken without monitoring can cause harm, particularly with vitamin D, so treatment should be guided by your report.
Vitamin D takes about two to three months of treatment to rise properly, so a repeat test is usually done after that interval rather than after a few weeks.

Vitamin Testing: frequently asked questions
How much does a vitamin D test cost in Hyderabad?
Vitamin D and B12 can be booked individually or together in a nutrition package, which is usually better value. Current prices are listed on this page, or call 91213 77123.
Do I need to fast for a vitamin D or B12 test?
No fasting is needed for vitamin D or B12. If your package also includes fasting sugar or lipids, follow the fasting instructions for those.
Why is vitamin D low even though I live in a sunny city?
Vitamin D is made when sunlight falls directly on bare skin. Indoor work, commuting in cars, covered clothing and sunscreen all reduce it, so deficiency is common even in Hyderabad.
How often should I repeat a vitamin test?
Usually two to three months after starting treatment to check the response, then once a year or as your doctor advises.
