Homocysteine Test
GetTested’s Homocysteine Test measures homocysteine, an amino acid closely linked to vitamin B12, folate (B9) and vitamin B6 metabolism. Elevated levels can provide additional information about how the body processes these nutrients and may be relevant when investigating nutritional deficiencies, methylation pathways or cardiovascular health.
With a simple at-home finger-prick blood test, you can gain valuable insight into this important metabolic marker without visiting a blood collection centre. Your sample is analysed in a laboratory, with digital results available within 10–15 business days.

About Homocysteine Test
A Closer Look at Your B-Vitamin Metabolism
Homocysteine is an amino acid naturally produced when the body metabolises methionine, an essential amino acid obtained through food. Under normal circumstances, the body converts homocysteine into other substances through metabolic processes that depend on several key nutrients, particularly vitamin B12, folate and vitamin B6.
When these processes are affected, homocysteine may accumulate in the blood. Elevated levels can occur in connection with B-vitamin deficiencies, reduced kidney function, certain genetic factors and other metabolic influences.
Measuring homocysteine can therefore provide complementary information alongside traditional vitamin tests, helping you gain a broader understanding of your nutrient-related metabolism.
