Deficiency of these vitamins can cause anemia
Vitamin B12 deficiency causes neuropathies, among other conditions, as well as anemia. Folate, also a B vitamin, helps produce energy from carbohydrates, hence the fatigue caused by folate deficiency.
Folate is among the vitamins recommended for expectant mothers because it prevents neurological deficiencies in the fetus.
Both a lack of intake of foods rich in these vitamins and problems in their absorption can cause deficiencies.
This test measures your B12 and folate levels to detect whether they are within your normal range or not.
