Information
Folate is a substance that we get in small amounts through almost all food. Folate is needed for the body to be able to form red blood cells and new cells, when cell formation increases such as e.g. during pregnancy or when growing, the need for folate increases.
Folate is also recognized under the name folic acid, but these are two different forms of the same B vitamin. You get folate naturally through the diet, if there is an increased need, the artificial form of folate, folic acid, can be supplied extra through, for example, dietary supplements and fortification.
The folate test is recommended for those who experience the following symptoms:
- Fatigue and exhaustion
- Mucosal disorders and mouth ulcers
- Hair waste
- Problems with concentration and memory
- Muscle and joint pain
- Wounds that heal slowly
It is also important to do a folate test if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or have a diet with a low intake of folate.
