Vitamin B12 Test

Importance of the Test

Vitamin B-12 is essential for red blood cell production and normal brain functioning. The deficiency of Vitamin B-12 can lead to anemia and various neurological problems. Therefore, those above the age of 14 should consume more than 2.4 micrograms (mcg) of Vitamin B-12 on a daily basis. One can get Vitamin B-12 from various types of meats, but if you do not eat meat and are a vegetarian, you can obtain it from supplements. The Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin test at Self-Test Diagnostics gives you an exact amount of B12 present in the Blood Stream. Treatment is recommended only if the levels of B12 are tested outside the normal range. The deficiency may result in various neurological symptoms, constipation, loss of weight, and tiredness. If the levels of B12 are found to be too high, it might cause you diabetes, different ailment, or liver illness. Doctors can use our reports to see what the levels of your B12 are and identify the symptoms.
