VITAMIN B12

A vitamin B12 test measures the level of this essential nutrient in the blood, crucial for maintaining nerve function and the production of DNA and red blood cells. Low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to anemia, fatigue, and neurological issues. The test is typically conducted via a blood sample and may be recommended if a deficiency is suspected from symptoms or dietary habits. Results can help guide dietary changes or supplementation if necessary. It's important to discuss the results with a healthcare professional for proper interpretation and management.
