Vitamin B12 & Folate

What it tests for:
This panel measures your blood levels of Vitamin B12 and Folate (Vitamin B9) — two essential nutrients for energy production, brain function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation.

Why it matters:

• Vitamin B12: Supports nerve health, memory, focus, and red blood cell production. Deficiency can lead to fatigue, numbness, or mood changes.

• Folate (B9): Crucial for methylation, pregnancy health, detoxification, and heart protection. Low levels may contribute to anemia, brain fog, or birth defects in pregnancy.

Who it’s for:
Recommended for individuals with fatigue, brain fog, mood imbalances, plant-based diets, or those with MTHFR gene variants that affect folate absorption.

This test is especially valuable when combined with homocysteine to assess full methylation and B-vitamin status.
