25 Biomarkers
Additional biomarkers can be added by personalising this test.
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.
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).
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.
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!
Yes, you can tailor/customise subsequent tests (via your app) to focus on just the areas that need improving.

Who is the Baseline Blood Test for?
25 Biomarkers
Liver Health
Liver tests, frequently known as liver function tests (LFTs), are a group of blood tests that help assess the health of your liver. These tests measure the levels of various enzymes, proteins, and substances produced or excreted by the liver to detect liver damage, inflammation, or disease.
Cholesterol (lipid profile)
A cholesterol or lipid panel test measures various cholesterol components to assess cardiovascular disease risk. Early detection of high cholesterol enables lifestyle changes and treatments that can lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Vitamins
Vitamins are essential nutrients obtained from food and sunlight. They support vital functions like bone health, energy production and fighting infection. Deficiencies can lead to various health issues, including bone disorders, anaemia, low mood and fatigue.
Minerals
Minerals support bone strength, muscle function, nerve signaling, and energy production. They regulate vital processes such as blood pressure and immune responses. Key minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron are obtained through diet and are crucial for preventing deficiencies and maintaining overall health.
Inflammation
Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury, disease or infection. Measuring inflammation is important for early disease detection, monitoring chronic conditions, and assessing overall health. It helps identify infections and autoimmune disorders as well as assessing cardiovascular risk.
Full Blood Count (FBC)
A Full Blood Count (FBC) test measures various components of blood. In this test it includes red and white blood cell count together with haemoglobin. These tests helps identify conditions like anaemia, infections, and blood disorders.
Sex Steriod Hormones
Sex steroid hormones like testosterone and oestradiol are vital for numerous physiological processes within the body. Their roles extend far beyond reproduction influencing mood, bone health, cognitive function and metabolism.
Creatine Kinase
Creatine Kinase (CK) is an enzyme found in muscle. Raised levels of CK are an indicator of muscular micro-damage. This can be associated with high impact or high resistance training load, dehydration, specific medical conditions and some medications. A CK test is useful in helping to prevent overtraining and related injuries.
Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
HbA1c provides an average reading of blood sugar levels over a period of 2-3 months. It is considered one of the best indicators of pre-diabetes and is also used by people with diabetes to monitor their levels. High blood glucose levels puts you more at risk of gaining weight, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.

5. Can I have someone take my blood for me?
Yes. We offer two options if you do not want to do our finger prick test. The first is a home appointment where a nurse comes to your home to take a blood sample. The second is to visit a Phlebotomy clinic near you that offers a blood sample service.

The nurse will give you the blood sample to return to us using the pre-paid envelope provided.
Will a doctor review my results?
Your results are reviewed by one of the doctors on our medical team. They’ll provide personalised commentary, giving you extra insight into what your report means and what your next steps are. The doctor’s comment will take into consideration the data you add to your profile, such as gender, age, BMI and TRT/HRT use.
You can opt out of the doctor’s comment if you’d prefer.
How secure is my data?
Your data is safeguarded through our rigorous security protocols. In compliance with GDPR, we adhere to strict legal standards regarding data sharing, ensuring that information is only disclosed when essential for providing our services.

How soon will I get my results?

Important information regarding corrected calcium
Our labs have conducted stability validation on all the markers offered by Forth. Corrected Calcium has a shorter stability time than the majority of markers of around 2 – 3 days. Forth provides a Tracked 24 return envelope in all kits to return samples to the lab within 24 hours. In the majority of cases, samples are returned within the stability time. If a sample arrives outside this time, this result will not be provided to you.
