What Is a Folic Acid Test?

A Folic Acid Test is a simple blood test that measures the level of folic acid (Vitamin B9) in your blood to diagnose folate deficiency, identify the cause of megaloblastic anaemia, and assess nutritional health, especially in pregnant women. Folic acid plays a crucial role in the production of new cells, red blood cells, and DNA formation

It is often done alongside a Vitamin B12 test, as both nutrients work together for normal blood and nerve function. The test requires a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm, usually after fasting for 8–10 hours.
