Feeling fatigue, weakness, pale skin, irritability, or difficulty concentrating? These could be signs of a folate deficiency. A Folate Test, also known as a folic acid blood test, measures the amount of folate (vitamin B9) in your blood.
Folate is essential for cell division, DNA production, and red blood cell formation. Low folate levels can lead to anemia, malabsorption disorders, or other health concerns.
By identifying abnormal folate levels, this test helps healthcare providers diagnose anemia, detect malabsorption issues, and guide treatment options such as dietary changes or supplements.
Taking a folate blood test is a proactive step to address deficiencies, support red blood cell health, and improve your overall well-being.
