The Folate RBC Test measures folate levels inside red blood cells, providing a more accurate reflection of long-term folate status than serum tests. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and nervous system health. Low levels may indicate poor diet, malabsorption, or anemia. Doctors order this test for patients with fatigue, weakness, or neurological issues. Results help diagnose folate deficiency and guide nutritional treatment.

The Folate Serum Test measures folate (vitamin B9) levels in blood to evaluate nutritional status and overall health. Low folate may cause anemia, fatigue, weakness, or pregnancy complications, while high levels may reflect supplementation. Doctors order this test to investigate unexplained anemia, monitor prenatal health, or assess dietary deficiencies. It provides valuable insight into red blood cell production, metabolism, and nutritional balance.

The Vitamin B12 and Folate Panel Test measures blood levels of vitamin B12 and folate to evaluate nutritional status, red blood cell production, and nervous system health. Deficiencies may cause anemia, fatigue, weakness, neuropathy, or cognitive decline, while elevated levels can indicate liver or kidney disease. Doctors use this panel to diagnose deficiency, monitor therapy, and assess absorption disorders such as pernicious anemia, Crohn’s disease, or celiac disease.

The Folate Micronutrient Test measures blood folate levels to assess nutritional status and detect deficiencies. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and proper fetal development. This test helps identify dietary insufficiency, malabsorption issues, or increased nutrient needs, supporting the diagnosis and management of anemia, pregnancy health, and overall wellness.

Patient must be 18 years of age or older.

The Methylation Pathway Optimization Panel provides a comprehensive evaluation of the key nutrients, functional biomarkers, and genetic factors that influence methylation efficiency. Methylation is a critical biochemical process involved in cardiovascular wellness, energy production, cognitive function, and cellular maintenance.

 The Vitamins & Minerals - Basic panel is a fundamental health assessment tool designed to provide a snapshot of an individual's nutritional status and potential deficiencies. This panel includes a suite of tests that measure the levels of essential nutrients and minerals in the body, which are critical for various bodily functions and overall well-being. The tests included in this panel are Ferritin, Folate Serum, Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), and Magnesium Serum. Each of these tests plays a significant role in evaluating different aspects of health, from anemia and iron metabolism to nerve function and energy production.

The Advanced Methylation Precision Panel is Ulta Lab Tests’ most comprehensive evaluation of methylation-related health. This panel organizes laboratory testing across core methylation pathways, integrating nutrient status, functional biomarkers, genetic factors, inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic context.
