How does a subscription work?
When you purchase this test subscription plan, we will automatically send you another test kit in a few months. Don't worry - you have full control over when this will be, and you can change/cancel it anytime.
When you first purchase this test, you can choose your subscription options in the checkout. We do this, because we recommend taking multiple tests over time to track how your biomarkers change. You'll be charged per test kit (rather than monthly, for example).
Why subscribe to multiple tests?
One test will show you what areas you need to focus on, continued testing will help you learn how your training, diet and lifestyle is impacting your health.
How often should I test?
We recommend a follow up test 3 months after your first test, followed by a test every 6 months depending on your results, but its up to you!
Can I change what's tested in future tests?
Yes, you can tailor/customise subsequent tests (via your app) to focus on just the areas that need improving.

Finger prick kit (FREE)

Home nurse appointment (+£60)
We'll arrange for a medical professional to visit your home and collect your sample. This is great if you're unsure on how it all works or have trouble collecting a sample. No need to book a doctor's appointment or visit a clinic, we'll send you everything you need to collect a sample and post it back to our labs.
Visit a partner clinic (+£45)
Once you've ordered your test, look out for an email from our phlebotomy partners containing information and a link to book your appointment. We'll send you everything the clinic will need to complete the sample and post it back to our labs.
Organise a nurse myself (FREE)
If none of the above options work for you, you can arrange your own medical professional to collect your sample. There is no additional charge for this. Once you've ordered your test, we'll send you everything you and your chosen medical professional will need to collect a sample and post it back to our labs.

9 Biomarkers Included
Additional biomarkers can be added by personalising this test.
What are biomarkers?
Biomarkers are specific compounds we can detect in your blood sample that reflect different things about your health. Your test will tell you your levels for each of the above biomarkers, and whether they are in a normal range.
Did you know?
3% of men and 8% of women have iron deficiency anaemia
NICE: Anaemia - iron deficiency: How common is it?
What is B12 deficiency anaemia?
Vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia or folate deficiency anaemia occurs when there isn’t enough of these B vitamins in the body causing it to produce abnormally large red blood cells that are unable to function properly.
Red blood cells are used to carry oxygen around the body using haemoglobin. Anaemia is usually defined as having low red blood cell count or low haemoglobin levels.
Symptoms of a vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anaemia include extreme tiredness, lack of energy, pins and needles, sore and red tongue, mouth ulcers, muscle weakness and psychological problems such as mild depression or anxiety.
What is iron deficiency anaemia?
Iron deficiency anaemia is caused by a lack of iron in the body which leads to a low number of red blood cells. Iron is used by the body to produce red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body. If you have fewer red blood cells than normal your body will have less oxygen to be used by organs and tissues. Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common type of anaemia.
Measuring levels of ferritin, haemoglobin and red blood cell count in the blood can help identify or rule out iron deficiency anaemia.
How to test for anaemia
You can check for anaemia at home with our finger prick blood test kit. The kit includes everything you need to collect a small blood sample, including lancets, tubes, plasters and free return postage to send us your sample. The test only takes a couple of minutes to complete and once the results are at our lab, you’ll receive your results within 2 working days, along with comments from our doctors.
