What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential nutrient required for the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and the function of the nervous system.
Why test for Vitamin B12?
Testing Vitamin B12 is useful for determining if there is a deficiency or excess, which may indicate underlying health issues or the need to adjust diet or supplements. It is especially beneficial for people who follow a vegan diet, the elderly, and individuals with certain medical conditions.
What does it indicate?
Vitamin B12 levels in the blood indicate whether the body has sufficient amounts of this essential nutrient for normal functions. Abnormal levels may point to nutritional deficiencies, absorption problems, or certain diseases.
What does a high Vitamin B12 level mean?
A high level of Vitamin B12 can indicate certain conditions, such as liver disease or specific types of leukemia. It may also be the result of taking too many Vitamin B12 supplements.
What does a low Vitamin B12 level mean?
A low level of Vitamin B12 can lead to anemia, fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and neurological problems such as memory loss or tingling in the hands and feet.
