Are Constant Fatigue and Brain Fog Affecting Your Daily Life?
When you’re struggling with persistent tiredness, memory issues, or mood swings, it’s easy to feel like something’s wrong but not know what. The Folate RBC Test provides the clarity you need to understand your body’s nutritional status and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your Folate RBC Test
Folate, also known as folic acid or vitamin B9, is essential for creating healthy red blood cells and supporting brain function. Unlike standard folate tests that measure circulating levels, the RBC Folate Test examines the folate stored within your red blood cells – giving you a more accurate picture of your body’s long-term folate status.
This test is particularly important because red blood cells live for about 120 days, meaning your RBC folate levels reflect your nutritional status over the past several months, not just what you ate yesterday.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, your folate levels might need attention:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Brain fog, memory problems, or difficulty concentrating
- Mood changes, irritability, or depression
- Pale skin, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations
- Digestive issues or poor appetite
- Hair loss or brittle nails
Special consideration for:
- Women planning pregnancy or in early pregnancy
- Individuals with digestive conditions like Crohn’s or celiac disease
- People taking medications that affect folate absorption
- Those with family history of anaemia or nutritional deficiencies
- Elderly individuals or people with restricted diets
