What Is a Folic Acid Test?
A folic acid test measures the amount of folic acid in the blood. Folic acid is vitamin B-9, which is essential for the production of healthy red blood cells. These cells deliver oxygen to the entire body, so they’re vital for maintaining overall health. Folic acid is also important for the normal development of a fetus. It helps with cell and tissue growth as well as the creation of DNA, which carries genetic information. This is why folic acid is particularly critical for women who are pregnant or who are planning to become pregnant.
