We chose our tests based on what would be the most useful to our users goals of improving their health combined with what tests we can accurately measure using Vessel’s technology. Some of these tests didn’t exist and we had to build them from scratch which as you can imagine doesn’t happen overnight.
You’re right, homocysteine is a better marker of folic acid status than folic acid levels alone, and even better than that would be urine formiminoglutamic acid levels. We are working hard on building out these tests in future versions of our card, along with many more useful biomarkers.
Urinary folic acid doesn’t test as well as homocysteine - how did we select the tests we did?
