Methylmalonic acid
Explanation: Methylmalonic acid is a substance made in the body during the breakdown of proteins and fats for energy. Normally, the body uses Vitamin B12 to keep methylmalonic acid levels low. Elevated methylmalonic acid levels are a sensitive marker for B12 deficiency, even before blood levels of B12 drop.
Test purpose: Methylmalonic acid testing helps detect Vitamin B12 deficiency early, even before symptoms appear. This is important because untreated B12 deficiency can cause anemia, nerve damage, and long-term health issues. It’s particularly useful for people with unexplained fatigue, neurological problems, or dietary restrictions (like vegetarians or vegans).
