5-Methyltetrahydrofolate
Explanation: 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate is the active form of folate, a form of vitamin B9. It helps the body make and repair DNA, produce energy, and create brain chemicals that affect mood and mental function. Folate is also important for forming red blood cells and preventing certain birth defects during pregnancy.
Test purpose:
- Assess folate deficiency: Low levels can cause fatigue, anemia, and other health issues.
- Monitor folate metabolism: For people who may have genetic conditions (like MTHFR gene mutations, which can occur at any age) that affect their ability to process folate from food or supplements.
- Support pregnancy health: Ensuring adequate levels of folate is vital for fetal development.
