Additional Information

Vitamin B12 and folate are crucial nutrients for red and white blood cell production, nervous system health, tissue and cell repair, and DNA synthesis. The body doesn't produce these vitamins; they must be obtained through diet or supplements. Deficiency can result from inadequate intake, poor absorption, age, medical conditions, or medications. Low levels can lead to anemia, nervous system issues, high homocysteine, and various health problems. This test helps identify deficiencies.
