What is FOLIC ACID?
The Folic Acid test measures the level of folate (vitamin B9) circulating in your blood, reflecting your recent dietary intake. This essential vitamin plays a key role in red blood cell production and proper cell function throughout your body.
Why is this test important?
This test is used to screen for folate deficiency, which can cause anemia, fatigue, and other health problems. It's often checked alongside Vitamin B12 levels, as deficiencies in either can present similarly.
How to Prepare
Fasting for 8-12 hours may be required. Please confirm with your healthcare provider.
