Vitamin B12 and vitamin B9 (folate) are essential nutrients that are necessary for producing and maintaining red and white blood cells, supporting the nervous system, and helping to create DNA, the basis of all cells.
Vitamin B12 and folate must be supplied by the diet or through supplementation because the body is not able to produce them. Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency (low levels of vitamin B12 or vitamin B9) may be due to limited dietary intake, poor absorption, advanced age, certain medical conditions, or some medications. Low levels of vitamin B12 and folate can lead to anemia, nervous system conditions, high levels of homocysteine, and a variety of health issues. This test can help determine whether you have a vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.
