Why test homocysteine levels?

Elevated homocysteine is associated with a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, cognitive decline, and complications in pregnancy. Testing helps identify B-vitamin deficiencies and supports cardiovascular, neurological, and prenatal health.

What can high homocysteine levels indicate?

High levels may signal insufficient B6, B12, or folate. They are also associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and impaired methylation, all of which are risk factors for chronic disease.

Do I need to fast before the test?

Fasting is not required. However, testing in the morning before food or supplements helps ensure consistency.

Is the test suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

Yes. It is suitable for all diets and especially helpful in assessing B12 or folate status in plant-based eaters.

How is the sample collected?

The test uses a simple dried blood spot (DBS) card that requires just a few drops of blood from your fingertip.

How accurate is the Homocysteine Test?

It is analysed by LC-MS/MS, a clinically validated and highly sensitive method used in hospitals and research settings. It is proven to work with dried blood samples.

What does the kit include?

DBS card, easy instructions, prepaid return envelope, and a secure lab report with your results and interpretation.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically available within 3–5 business days after your sample is received at the lab.

Where is my Homocysteine Test analysed?

Samples from the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia and New Zealand, are analysed in our accredited laboratory in Australia.

Description
What does it include?

The Homocysteine Test provides valuable insight into one of the most important biomarkers for heart and metabolic health. Analysed in certified laboratories in Australia and Europe, this at-home dried blood spot test measures homocysteine, an amino acid that plays a key role in methylation, vascular function, and cellular repair.

When homocysteine levels become elevated, it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, cognitive decline, and inflammation. Normally, your body converts homocysteine using vitamins B6, B12, and folate — but nutritional deficiencies, genetic factors, or lifestyle habits can disrupt this balance.

Our easy at-home test allows you to measure your homocysteine levels accurately, helping you identify potential risks early. With this insight, you can take targeted steps to optimise your health through diet, supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments.

Your sample can be collected at home with a simple finger-prick, then analysed in our accredited labs in Australia or Europe, ensuring accurate, validated results for your peace of mind.
