A member asked:
Is a folic acid blood test also called a folate serum blood test? if they are different tests, should i take both of them together with the vitamin 12 test?

One and the same: Serum folic acid test is the better name. Why are you doing these tests? It would be better to let your doctor figure out if you need any tests.Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
