Understanding Vitamin Profile in Mumbai

What is Vitamin Profile in Mumbai?

Vitamin Profile test measures the levels of vitamin D, B12, and B9 in the body and is available at an affordable price in Mumbai with Tata 1mg labs. Vitamins are the essential nutrients for humans. Unhealthy eating habits and adulteration of food can lead to the depletion of these vital nutrients and cause multiple disorders. Vitamin D (25-OH) is essential for healthy bones, vitamin B12 for the healthy nervous system, and vitamin B9 (folic acid) for the formation of healthy red blood cells.

Vitamin Profile is recommended as part of a routine checkup or in case of symptoms suggestive of vitamin deficiencies, such as pale skin, weakness, joint pain, muscle weakness, and palpitations.

What does Vitamin Profile measure?

Contains 3 tests

A Vitamin Profile covers testing of three vitamins, including vitamins B9, B12, and D. These vitamins are required by your body to reduce health risks, build immunity, and maintain your overall health. Deranged levels of these vitamins can give rise to lethargy, irritation, muscle spasm, fatigue, anemia, psychological disorders, or toxicity if not given timely attention.

Vitamin B 9 test

Vitamin B12

A Vitamin B12 test measures your vitamin B12 levels. Vitamin B12 is essential for various health aspects, such as maintaining a healthy nervous system, making red blood cells, and creating the genetic material of our cells. Low vitamin B12 levels are more likely to occur in older adults, children, vegans, vegetarians, people with diabetes, individuals who underwent gastric bypass surgery, women who are breastfeeding, and in conditions that impact absorption of this vitamin, like Crohn’s disease. Higher vitamin B12 levels are uncommon as excessive vitamin B12 is usually removed through the urine. However, some conditions, such as liver diseases and myeloproliferative disorders, can cause an increase in vitamin B12 levels, thereby affecting blood cell production.

Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy)

A Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) test measures the levels of vitamin D in the body. It is an essential nutrient that can be synthesized in the body upon healthy exposure to sunlight or absorbed from dietary sources. It majorly exists in two forms: Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D2 is present in plants, such as yeast or mushrooms, and is available as a supplement in fortified foods, and vitamin D3 is found in foods like cheese, green vegetables, mushrooms, egg yolks, and fatty fish.

Both forms of vitamin D (D2 and D3) need to undergo some chemical changes before being available for use in the body. These chemical changes take place in the liver or kidneys. The liver converts vitamin D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH vitamin D). A Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) test measures the level of this 25-OH vitamin D as it is the primary form of vitamin D that circulates in the blood.
