Vitamin B12 and folate are essential nutrients that play a critical role in your body’s overall health, especially in red blood cell production, nerve function, and DNA synthesis. The Vitamin B12 & Folate test measures the levels of these vital vitamins in your blood to help identify deficiencies or imbalances that may impact your well-being.
Why Are Vitamin B12 and Folate Important?
Vitamin B12 is crucial for maintaining healthy nerve cells and producing DNA and red blood cells. Folate (vitamin B9) is equally important, especially for cell growth and metabolism. Both vitamins work together to support brain function and prevent certain types of anemia. Deficiencies in either can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, memory problems, and neurological issues.
Who Should Get Tested?
Testing for vitamin B12 and folate levels is recommended if you have symptoms like fatigue, numbness, tingling, memory difficulties, or if you have a history of anemia. Vegetarians, vegans, older adults, and those with certain medical conditions affecting nutrient absorption are also at higher risk of deficiencies and should consider testing.
How Is the Test Performed?
The Vitamin B12 & Folate test requires a simple blood draw, usually from a vein in your arm. No special preparation is typically needed. Your blood sample is analyzed to measure the concentrations of vitamin B12 and folate in your system, and results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours.
