What does it measure:
Vitamin B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin. Is one of the components responsible for the formation of red blood cells that consequently acts against potentially anemia. It's also essential for a healthy brain and nervous system.
Most of the Vitamin B12 in our body is in our blood. With the Vitamin B12 test we measure the quantities of the vitamin B12 active in our body and with that we can confirm if a person has a deficit or not.
We get the Vitamin B12 from food, especially from meat based diets. This vitamin is released after encounters with acid in the stomach and after that combines with a substance called intrinsic factor that will help it to be absorbed.
