Folate Blood Test (B9)
Folate Blood Test (B9)
The Folate Blood Test (Vitamin B9) is a vital tool for assessing your folate levels, an essential nutrient crucial for DNA synthesis, cell growth, and red blood cell formation. Folate deficiency can lead to serious health issues, including anaemia and increased risk of birth defects during pregnancy. Research from King’s College London and other leading institutions emphasises the importance of monitoring folate status, particularly in women of childbearing age and individuals with certain dietary restrictions.
By providing accurate insights into your folate levels, this test supports early detection of deficiencies and enables targeted nutritional interventions to improve energy, cognitive function, and overall metabolic health.
What Does This Test For?
This test measures your blood folate levels to detect deficiencies that could impair red blood cell production, cognitive function, and fetal development during pregnancy. It is especially important for women planning pregnancy, individuals with malabsorption issues, or those on restrictive diets. Understanding your folate status helps guide dietary choices and supplementation to maintain optimal health.
