Vitamin B11, better known as folic acid, is an essential water-soluble B vitamin. It plays a central role in many important processes in the body, such as DNA production, cell division and the formation of red blood cells. It is particularly important to get enough folic acid during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy. A deficiency can affect both your own health and that of an unborn child, including an increased risk of birth defects. With this simple blood test, you can check whether your folic acid level is adequate, allowing you to take targeted action for your health and well-being.
