Blood sample collection options

You can choose your preferred collection method when you checkout

Finger prick kit (FREE)

You can do this test at home without the need for a doctor. We'll send you everything you need to collect your sample and post it back to us. And it's all included in the cost. We've put together a video that covers the process, making it easy to check and track your health from home.

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.

Still unsure how it works? You can find more information on collection methods and the service we provide in our 'How it Works' section.

What gets tested?

10 Biomarkers

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.

About flexible subscriptions

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.

How we check your heart health at home

Our at-home heart health blood test makes checking and monitoring your cardiovascular health easy. The kit contains everything you need to collect a small blood sample and post it back to our NHS labs for analysis. Once we’ve received it, our medical experts will analyse your results and provide feedback to help you understand factors affecting your heart health, such as cholesterol levels.

As this is a HealthCoach test, you’ll get detailed scores for each biomarker and an overall score for your heart health, with goals to aim for on your next test.

How do you know if your heart is unhealthy?

Checking key biomarkers related to your heart health is a fast and affordable way of checking if your heart is healthy. We check your HDL, LDL and the ratio between the two, to give you a detailed look at your cholesterol levels. We also look at your triglycerides – a type of fat found in the body that can lead to heart disease if levels are too high.

Vial-Time

When should you get your heart checked?

There is no wrong time to check your heart. However, heart disease is more common in adults over 40. If you don’t have a pre-existing medical condition, you’ll be invited to an NHS Health Check by your GP every 5 years once you turn 40. However, a lot can happen in 5 years, and we recommend checking your heart health at least once a year. A proactive approach to your well-being is the best way to stay healthy and increase your health span.

Heart Health Blood Test, recommended by our doctors

"According to the British Heart Foundation, one in eight men and one in fourteen women die from coronary heart disease (CHD) in the UK per year. It may also surprise you to learn that CHD kills more than twice as many women in the UK as breast cancer so it’s a big problem. Unfortunately, often the first symptom of CHD is a heart attack, at which point it’s a little late! Using our heart health test to check your risk means you’re in the best position to make changes and stave off any future problems."

Frequently asked questions

This is what our customers ask us most about this test. For more information, try our help centre.

Can blood tests detect blocked arteries?

Home blood tests can’t detect blocked arteries, but they give insights into biomarkers related to heart health and heart disease. If your results come back with a low score, you can take them to your GP to ask for more detailed tests, such as an ECG or angiography.

Can a blood test detect heart problems?

Our heart health blood test can detect problems related to your heart, such as high cholesterol and excess levels of fat (triglycerides).

What is a good resting heart rate (by age)?

According to the British Heart Foundation, an adult’s resting heart rate should be between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The more active and healthy you are, the lower your resting heart rate will be. However, resting heart rate is not a reliable indicator of overall heart health.

How soon will the test arrive?

If you order your test before midday on a Monday to Friday then your kit will be dispatched
the same day.

All our kits are sent out via Royal Mail first class post, so it should be with you within 1-2
working days.

How secure is my data?

We have strict processes in place to ensure the protection of your data. Following GDPR the company also operates under tight legal rules about the sharing of data which ensures that data is only shared if it is crucial to the delivery of our service. For example, our doctors see customer results at the time of review, however, after review, access to results is withdrawn.

Learn more about your data security.

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.

A blood sample will be taken from your vein and we will provide you with everything you need to give to the nurse to allow them to take the sample.

The nurse will give you the blood sample to return to us using the pre-paid envelope provided.

Does a doctor review my results?

We have a team of doctors and nurses who look at all results and will comment on any results that are outside of the normal range for your age.

Can I download the results to share with my GP?

Yes, you can download your results from your health dashboard as a PDF to share with your GP.
