From £220 · Results within 24–48 hours · Open 7 days
About this test
A female-specific enhanced screen incorporating folate and vitamin B12 alongside comprehensive organ function and hormonal markers. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division — adequate status is critical before and during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects. B12 deficiency is common in vegetarian and vegan women and those with malabsorption, causing neurological symptoms, fatigue, and megaloblastic anaemia.
Note: Female standard screen plus panel with the addition of serum folate and vitamin B12.
What this test can detect
- Folate deficiency — affecting DNA synthesis and increasing neural tube defect risk in early pregnancy
- B12 deficiency — neurological, haematological, and cognitive consequences
- All conditions identified by the female standard screen plus panel
Who should have this test?
- Women planning a pregnancy who want to confirm adequate folate status before conception
- Vegetarian and vegan women at risk of B12 deficiency
- Women on methotrexate, metformin, or anticonvulsants affecting B12 and folate metabolism
- Anyone with symptoms suggesting B12 or folate deficiency alongside other health concerns
