A Vitamin B12 Blood Test measures the level of vitamin B12 in your blood. This test is commonly prescribed by doctors to check for certain types of anemia and assess overall vitamin B12 levels.

When is the Vitamin B12 Test Prescribed?

A Vitamin B12 Deficiency Test may be recommended if you experience symptoms such as:

  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Blurred vision
  • Memory loss

Doctors may also prescribe this test if high serum folate levels are detected during a medical evaluation.

Additionally, a Vitamin B12 Test is often recommended during pregnancy to ensure the mother has adequate B12 levels, which are essential for the baby’s healthy development. Women following a vegan or vegetarian diet may be at higher risk of B12 deficiency due to a lack of dietary sources.

Who is at Higher Risk of Vitamin B12 Deficiency?

Individuals at higher risk of B12 deficiency include:

  • People over 65 years of age
  • Those following a vegan or vegetarian diet
  • Individuals with health conditions that affect vitamin B12 absorption

Doctors often recommend Vitamin B12 Testing for individuals at risk to ensure early diagnosis and proper management.
