Essential Health Check

● The Essential Health Check covers 18–19 key health markers using a simple finger‑prick blood sample. It’s designed to provide a snapshot of your basic health status.

Vitamins and Minerals

● Iron stores via Ferritin (indicates deficiency or excess).

● Vitamin B12 (energy, red blood cell production, neurological function).

● Vitamin D (bone, immune and mental health).

Liver function

● via albumin, globulin, total protein, ALT, ALP, GGT, and bilirubin.

Cholesterol and Lipid Profile

● Total cholesterol, HDL (“good”), LDL/VLDL/non‑HDL (“bad”), triglycerides, total:HDL and TG:HDL ratios.

● Triglycerides.

● Cholesterol / HDL Ratio.

● Triglycerides / HDL Ratio.

Customers must be aged 18 years or over to take this test. This test is not available to customers who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

This is a basic health check meant as a snapshot of general health markers—not a full diagnostic panel. It is ideal as a wellness tool or yearly screening. Suitable if you’re curious about vitamin status, liver function or cholesterol trends without needing clinical intervention.

Kit contents: lancets, collection tube & case, wipes, plasters, instructions, and a prepaid return envelope (UK only).

Uses a finger‑prick blood sample collected at home and sent to an accredited UK lab.

Results usually delivered within 7 days, shown via the online client portal using a traffic‑light format (high, borderline, normal) and numeric reactivity scores.

Sample Return

Return the sample immediately after collection — ideally same day, or within 24 hours, using the pre-paid envelope provided.

Avoid posting it just before weekends or holidays (since samples are time-sensitive and can degrade in transit).

Additional Potential Uses

● Monitoring progress: Tracking nutrient levels or hormones over time to see how lifestyle or treatments are working.

● Preventive health: Early detection of deficiencies or imbalances before symptoms appear.

● Supporting personalised nutrition: Tailoring diet and supplements based on individual biomarker results.

● Complementing medical care: Providing extra info to share with your GP or specialist for a more holistic approach / management.

Persistent Tendonopathy’s Male Hormone Test

● Low testosterone levels can impair tendon healing and muscle strength.

● Imbalanced cortisol (stress hormone) may contribute to inflammation or delayed repair.

● Low DHEA-S or altered sex hormones might affect collagen synthesis and tissue regeneration.

● Identifying hormonal imbalances can guide interventions (e.g., medical referral, lifestyle changes).

Essential Health Check (Nutrient Status)

● Vitamin D deficiency is linked to poor tendon and musculoskeletal health, affecting collagen formation and repair.

● Low Vitamin B12 or Folate can impair nerve and tissue repair.

● Iron (Ferritin) deficiency may reduce oxygen delivery to tissues, slowing healing.

● Liver function markers might indirectly reflect systemic inflammation or metabolic stress affecting tissue health.
