Vitamin B12 & Folate Blood Test in Johor Bahru

Ujian Darah Vitamin B12 & Folat

Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency are among the most common and underdiagnosed nutritional deficiencies in Malaysia, particularly in vegetarians, vegans, elderly patients, and those on metformin for diabetes. Klinik Muhibbah offers serum B12 and folate testing with same-week results. Deficiency causes anaemia, fatigue, neurological symptoms, and in pregnancy, neural tube defects. Early detection and treatment are straightforward and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is at risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency in Malaysia?▼
Vegetarians and vegans (plant foods contain no B12), elderly patients (absorption decreases with age), people on long-term metformin (a common diabetes medication that reduces B12 absorption), and those with stomach or small bowel conditions are most at risk. Testing is the only way to confirm deficiency.
What are the symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency?▼
Symptoms include persistent fatigue, weakness, tingling or numbness in hands and feet, balance problems, poor memory, and low mood. In advanced cases, irreversible neurological damage can occur. Because many symptoms are vague, deficiency is often missed without a blood test.
Can I get Vitamin B12 injections at Klinik Muhibbah if I am deficient?▼
Yes, if your B12 level is low, our doctors can prescribe oral B12 supplements or intramuscular B12 injections (hydroxocobalamin) directly at Klinik Muhibbah. Injections are preferred for those with absorption problems. Please call for current test and treatment pricing.
