What is a Folate (Folic Acid)?
A Folate test measures vitamin B9 in your blood. Folate is essential for making red blood cells and DNA, and is especially important before and during pregnancy to prevent neural-tube defects in the baby. Low folate causes a type of anaemia (megaloblastic) and is often checked together with vitamin B12.
Why take this test?
It is advised when a blood count suggests anaemia, when planning or in early pregnancy, and for fatigue or a poor or restricted diet. Because folate and B12 deficiencies look alike on a blood count, the two are usually tested together.
- Tiredness or anaemia found on a blood count
- Planning a pregnancy or in early pregnancy
- Poor diet, alcohol use, or malabsorption
- Checked alongside a vitamin B12 test
