Blood Test / Blood Work - Extensive Homocysteine Lab Work in USA

Dr. Ekberg and Labcorp -  Extensive Homocysteine Blood Test

Take control of your health with a discounted Homocysteine blood test — no office visit required.

Most people are told their homocysteine is “high” and sent home with B vitamins.
This panel is for people who want to know what’s actually driving it.

Elevated homocysteine is common.
What’s uncommon is understanding why it’s elevated in your body.

Is it:

• A true B-vitamin deficiency?
• Poor absorption?
• Impaired utilization?
• A downstream bottleneck that basic tests don’t show?

Without the right markers, you’re guessing.

This panel removes the guesswork.

Dr. Ekberg has discounted homocysteine blood test with cash rates at your local Labcorp.

What This Panel Does:

This blood work looks at homocysteine and the systems that control it, so your result actually means something.

Instead of a single number with no context, you see:

• Whether key B vitamins are available
• Whether they’re being used properly
• Whether your blood cells show stress patterns linked to B-vitamin dysfunction

That’s how you move from “my homocysteine is high” to “here’s why.”

What You Get:

• LabCorp access nationwide in over 2,000 convenient locations
• Cash pricing: Pay less than insurance-based rates
  
• Order online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please allow up to 7 business days for your receipt. This is a manual process.
• We supply a doctor's note of approval
• There is no need to pay an office fee or see a doctor
• Results are both confidential and secure
• No surprise bills. You avoid unexpected insurance charges
• We accept FSA and HSA cards at checkout. Approval depends on your benefits provider. If your card does not process, you can still submit your receipt for reimbursement.
• Bonus: Includes both Labcorp’s result and Dr. Ekberg’s optimal range for deeper insight

Why Test Homocysteine?

Homocysteine is a critical marker of inflammation and methylation. High levels are associated with increased risk of:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Osteoporosis
• Dementia
• Pregnancy complications & birth defects

Over 50% of the population may have genetic mutations (like MTHFR) that impair homocysteine metabolism. If your cholesterol is normal but your homocysteine is high, you may still be at risk.

What’s Included — and Why It Matters

• Homocysteine
  Shows whether homocysteine is accumulating instead of being handled efficiently.
• Vitamin B12 & Folate
  Helps determine if the issue is supply, absorption, or utilization — not just intake.
• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
  Critical for the pathway that processes excess homocysteine when recycling isn’t sufficient.
• Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential
  B-vitamin problems often show up here before vitamin levels look abnormal.

This combination explains the result instead of leaving it open-ended.

Who This Test Is For

This panel is a good fit if you:

• Have elevated homocysteine and want answers, not assumptions
• Take B vitamins but aren’t seeing expected changes
• Want data before choosing or changing supplements
• Prefer understanding the mechanism instead of trial-and-error
