The Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) test is used to measure the blood levels of Vitamin B9. It is available at an affordable price in Mohali with Tata 1mg Labs. Vitamin B9, also known as folic acid, is vital for overall health as it plays a crucial role in forming red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and the growth of cells and other body tissues. Vitamin B9 deficiency may cause symptoms such as paleness, weakness, mouth ulcers, irritability, weight loss, etc. 

Your doctor may recommend the Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) test if you are experiencing vitamin B9 deficiency signs or are currently being treated with Vitamin B9 supplements because of a previously diagnosed deficiency. This test is also a crucial monitoring parameter to ensure a healthy pregnancy, as folate deficiency can lead to severe birth defects. No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, please inform your doctor about the Vitamin B9 supplements you take, as they may affect your test results.

What does Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) measure?

The Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) test analyzes the levels of vitamin B9 in the blood. Vitamin B9 is a part of the B complex of vitamins and is an essential nutrient, meaning the body cannot produce it and has to be taken into the diet. Folate is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9, whereas folic acid refers to a supplement that is added to food and drinks. The deficiency of vitamin B9 (folic acid) can also lead to macrocytic anemia in which the size of the RBCs becomes larger than normal.

Vitamin B9 is an essential nutrient that exists in two forms: folate and folic acid. Folate is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B9 and is present in green leafy vegetables. Whereas, folic acid is a synthetic form of vitamin B9 and is used in supplements and processed food items.
In pregnancy, folic acid helps form the neural tube during the early development of the baby. It also prevents some major birth defects during the development of the baby’s brain (anencephaly) and spine (spina bifida). Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant or are planning to conceive to know about any supplements that you may need during pregnancy.
