    What does it measure?

    The vitamin B9 (Folic acid) test: Analyses the levels of vitamin B9 in the blood. Vitamin B9, also known as folate (folic acid), is a part of the B complex of vitamins. It is important for the formation of normal red blood cells (RBCs), tissue and cell repair, and the synthesis of DNA. This vitamin cannot be produced in the body, so it has to be taken into the diet. Folate is the naturally occurring form of the vitamin, while folic acid is referred to as a supplement that is added to food and drinks. These vitamins are found in food sources such as green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, peas, dry beans, yeast, and liver. Apart from these food sources, vitamin B9 can also be found in fortified cereals (in which minerals are added), bread, and other grain products. The deficiency of vitamin B9 (folic acid) can also lead to macrocytic anaemia, in which the size of red blood cells becomes larger than normal size. This type of macrocytic anaemia includes megaloblastic anaemia which is characterised by the production of fewer but larger red blood cells. These red blood cells are called . Along with this, white blood cells may also be reduced, and a low platelet count can be seen. Vitamin B9 is very important for cell division, such as in the case of developing a fetus. The deficiency of these vitamins during the early pregnancy can expose the growing fetus to the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida.
