Understanding Vitamin B Complex Profile in Mumbai


What is Vitamin B Complex Profile in Mumbai?

The Vitamin B Complex Profile is a group blood test that measures the levels of five different types of vitamin B namely; B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), and B12 (cobalamin). This test is used to diagnose vitamin B deficiency when there are associated symptoms or risks, to assess overall nutritional status, particularly in individuals with conditions that may impair nutrient absorption or increase nutrient requirement, and to monitor the effectiveness of vitamin B supplementation in individuals receiving treatment for vitamin B deficiency. This profile is available at an affordable price in Mumbai.

A fasting of 8-12 hours is preferred for this test. Usually, having a normal diet and taking prescribed vitamin B supplements are acceptable before the Vitamin B Complex Profile.

Vitamin B1

The Vitamin B1 test measures the levels of vitamin B1 (thiamine) in the blood. It is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. The lack of vitamin B1 might lead to some deficiency syndromes involving the nervous system, heart, muscles, and gastrointestinal system. It is mostly caused either due to high excretion levels of thiamine from the body or due to low absorption of thiamine from food sources. 

If not treated timely or left untreated, it can lead to severe deficiency disorders like Beriberi and several abnormalities related to the brain and neural system. Thus assessing vitamin B1 levels can help doctors detect nutritional deficiencies, detect potential deficiencies, and guide if dietary adjustment or supplementation is necessary to maintain optimal health.
