Folate – Private Testing in London
The Folate is available at Wimpole Street Medical and Dental, our CQC-registered clinic in Marylebone, London W1G. This test is priced at £60. A £50 phlebotomy fee applies per visit for blood collection. It requires a venous blood sample, and results are typically available within 1 day.
Folate (vitamin B9) is essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. It is particularly critical during pregnancy for preventing neural tube defects.
Who Should Consider the Folate?
Women planning pregnancy or in early pregnancy. Individuals with macrocytic anaemia. Those on medications that interfere with folate metabolism such as methotrexate or certain anticonvulsants. People with coeliac disease or other malabsorption conditions.
Red cell folate reflects stores over the preceding 3 months and is more reliable than serum folate, which fluctuates with recent dietary intake. Women planning pregnancy are advised to supplement with 400 micrograms daily.
A trained nurse collects the blood sample by standard venepuncture, a straightforward procedure that typically takes around five minutes. Our clinic is on Wimpole Street, directly opposite Wimpole Street tube station (Piccadilly, Circle, and District lines). No GP referral is needed — book online or call 020 7183 0692.
