The Folate (Red Cell) test measures vitamin B9 levels in red blood cells from a venous sample, helping you assess nutritional status that may support healthy cell division.
About this treatment
This single‑marker assay quantifies Folate (Vitamin B9) within red cells using a venous blood draw. Folate status is important for DNA synthesis and may support normal fetal development and red cell formation. The test is particularly relevant for women planning pregnancy or anyone with dietary concerns. Results are provided with an explanatory report and a brief clinician call. The price is £60 plus a £50 phlebotomy fee per visit. No fasting required.
