Vitamin B12 and Folate Test

$ 89.0
$89

Vitamin B12 and folate work closely, making red blood cells and helping iron work better in your body.

Vitamin B12 and folate support many cellular functions in the body. B12 supports nerve function, and folate (aka folic acid or vitamin B9) converts carbohydrates into energy and forms DNA. Both B12 and folate are essential to red blood cell production.

 

The Vitamin B12 and Folate Test measures levels of vitamin B12 and folate in your blood to help identify potential vitamin deficiencies. A B12 deficiency or a folate deficiency may lead to symptoms of fatigue, weakness or anemia.
