Folate (vitamin B9) is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in DNA production and repair. It helps make red blood cells necessary for adequate energy levels.
Folate is critical during early pregnancy because it can help prevent birth defects. The empowerDX Vitamin B12 + Folate Test is the preferred at-home test by the American Pregnancy Association (APA).
Because large amounts of folate are not stored in the body, it’s important to routinely monitor your folate.
Low levels are associated with fatigue, pale skin, depressed mood, irritability, mouth sores, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and vitamin deficiency anemia.
