🌿 Folic Acid Testing – Vital for Cell Growth & Red Blood Cell Formation

Folic acid (vitamin B9) testing measures folate levels in the blood, which is essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and healthy red blood cell production. Low folate levels can contribute to anemia, fatigue, mouth sores, and neurological issues — and are especially important to monitor during pregnancy for fetal development.

Folic acid testing is recommended for:

• Individuals with anemia or unexplained fatigue

• People with malabsorption issues (e.g., celiac or IBS)

• Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy

• Patients on medications that deplete folate levels
