Folate helps your body to make new cells, so it’s important to make sure you’re getting the right amount.

At Superdrug Online Doctor, we offer a folate test kit which checks whether you have a low, normal, or high level of folate in your blood. When you get your results, our doctors can tell you if you need any treatment.

Folate testing is currently unavailable. Please check again soon for updates.

How our service works

Using a home test works in the following steps:

  • Place an order and get your kit delivered to your door (delivery is free)
  • Collect your sample by following the instructions in the test kit
  • Send your samples to our UK-based, accredited partner laboratory (postage is free) 
  • Once your results are available (in 2 to 3 days), our doctors will review your results  
  • One of our doctors will contact you, via a secure and confidential message in your patient account, to let you know your results and give you advice and support on what to do next

In some cases, the doctor may need to ask for more information. They may contact you by phone, so make sure your telephone number is up to date in your online account.
