Your questions, considered.
What does Folate include?
This illustrative profile includes Folate. Exact panels and methods vary between laboratories.
Do I need to fast or prepare?
Confirm supplement instructions. Confirm the exact instructions with your clinician or collection team; do not fast unless instructed to do so.
Can I arrange collection at home?

When would my report be ready?

Can I interpret the result myself?
