Folate Test (Blood Test)

Service Description

The Folate test measures the levels of folic acid (Vitamin B9) in the blood, essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and proper brain function. Folate is particularly important for pregnant women or those planning to conceive, as a deficiency can lead to anemia and neural tube defects in newborns. This blood test is recommended for individuals suspecting a deficiency or as part of a routine nutritional assessment to ensure optimal health and support key bodily functions.
