    What is Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) Test?

    Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, plays a crucial role in producing red blood cells, synthesising DNA, and maintaining the proper functioning of nerve tissues. The Folic Acid test helps determine vitamin B9 levels in the blood.

    A deficiency in folic acid may lead to conditions like anaemia or nerve damage. Low folic acid levels could be due to an insufficient diet, specific medications, or other underlying health conditions. Symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and nerve issues can occur. This test is particularly valuable for pregnant women and those experiencing symptoms of anaemia or neuropathy. It’s often combined with a vitamin B12 test for a more comprehensive assessment.

    If you’re in Noida, you can conveniently book a Folic Acid test at home, saving you the hassle of visiting a laboratory.

    Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) Test Parameters

    The Vitamin B9 test determines the amount of folic acid, or vitamin B9, in a blood sample.

    Folic acid plays a critical role in various bodily functions, and a deficiency can lead to folate deficiency anaemia, where abnormally large red blood cells are produced, impairing oxygen delivery. Low folate levels are also linked to conditions like cardiovascular disease, depression, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, a disease affecting memory. During pregnancy, adequate folic acid intake is vital for proper foetal growth and helps prevent neural tube defects.

    Folate naturally occurs in foods like leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, beans, and fortified grains, while synthetic folic acid is easily absorbed and often added to food products. Keeping folate levels within the recommended range is essential for good health.

    Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) Test Preparation

    To prepare for a Folic Acid test at home, keep these points in mind:

    • Prerequisites

    No specific preparations, such as fasting, are necessary for the Vitamin B9 test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can take the Vitamin B9 test at any time of the day that suits you.

    • Who Should Get a Folic Acid Test?

    This test is advised for pregnant women, individuals displaying symptoms of deficiency (such as fatigue or anaemia), those with malabsorption issues, and anyone using medications that might influence folic acid levels.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Folic Acid Test

    Keep to your usual diet prior to the test and avoid alcohol, as sudden dietary changes can affect the results. Certain medications, including birth control pills, antimalarials, and antibiotics, may lower folic acid levels, so it’s important to let your doctor know if you are taking any drugs or supplements.

    Why Take the Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) Test?

    The Folic Acid test is crucial for identifying health concerns related to anaemia and checking your nutritional health. You might want to consider this test if:

    • You show signs of anaemia, such as:

      • Feeling exhausted

      • Weakness

      • Difficulty breathing

      • Dizziness or fainting

      • Pale skin, gums, or eyes

      • A rapid or unusual heartbeat

    • You have neurological symptoms, including:

      • Numbness in your toes or fingers

      • Memory lapses

      • Feeling confused

    • You notice oral issues like:

      • Mouth ulcers or sores

      • A painful, inflamed tongue

    The Vitamin B9 test is particularly important for individuals at risk of folate deficiency or for pregnant people.

    • Hi All, I am Atul Bansal from Indirapuram Ghaziabad and I usually go for the blood tests for all my family members. on Saturday morning I was looking out for a blood tests company and compared the prices and the tests report timings online. Had tested healthians and other companies previously and thought of trying this company called “ orange health “. The 2 things which I liked about orange health were - They were quite fast giving the reports to me and got the report on the same day itself, secondly the prices were on the lesser side when I compared it with other companies. But we as patients what we want ?? We are excited to have our reports as soon as possible and also have a fear of what is going to happen when the reports will come I am sure you people are going to relate it with me. I am that person who is more on the side of being healthy and fit. So usually go for tests in every 6 months. I would highly recommend all of you to try orange health if you are eager to get reports before the normal time and are concerned about the higher prices in the market.
