Comprehensive blood test to measure folate levels potentially affected by calcium channel blockers.

Additional Information

This test measures the level of vitamin B9 (folate) in your blood, a nutrient crucial for red and white blood cell production, tissue growth, DNA building, and energy conversion. Calcium channel blockers can hinder nutrient absorption, making this test vital for identifying potential deficiencies. Addressing folate deficiency is crucial for overall health and preventing irreversible damage, particularly to the nervous system. The test helps you and your doctor determine if folate supplementation is necessary.
