The Vitamin B12 & Folate panel is a blood test that evaluates two essential B vitamins required for red blood cell production, nerve function, and DNA synthesis. Deficiencies in either vitamin can lead to anemia and neurological symptoms.
This panel is commonly used to assess nutritional status, investigate anemia, fatigue, weakness, or neurological symptoms such as numbness or tingling. Measuring both vitamins together helps distinguish between different causes of anemia and supports accurate diagnosis.
The panel includes 2 tests:
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): Supports nerve health and red blood cell formation
Folate (Vitamin B9): Essential for DNA synthesis and cell division.
