Blood sample collection options
WHEN TO TAKE THE TEST?
Ideally, collect your blood sample within 3 hours of waking and before food. Due to the amount of blood required for analysis, the sample needs to be taken from your vein by a healthcare professional. This can be done in your own home or by visiting our partner clinic. You can choose the best option for you during checkout.
If you want the most detailed insight into your well-being, the Ultimate Blood Test is for you.
This test includes everything in the Advanced Blood Test while also measuring omega balance, essential vitamins (A, D, E), thyroid antibodies, and more. Whether you’re monitoring your hormone health, inflammation, or cardiovascular risk factors, this test provides a full-spectrum analysis of your body’s key functions.
Routine blood testing keeps you proactive about your health. Tracking deficiencies, hormone fluctuations, and metabolic markers can help you optimise performance, manage long-term health risks, and make better decisions for your body.
Who is the Ultimate Blood Test for?
47 Biomarkers
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.
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.
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.
Kidney function
Kidney function tests assess how well the kidneys filter waste and balance fluids and electrolytes. Impaired kidney function can lead to toxin buildup, electrolyte imbalances, and anemia, all of which can contribute to fatigue and reduced energy levels.
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.
Omega 6: Omega 3 ratio
Omega-6 and omega-3 are essential fatty acids that must be consumed through diet. A balanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is vital for controlling inflammation, supporting cardiovascular and mental health, and ensuring cellular and immune function. The recommended ratio is 3:1, however evidence suggests the average ratio in the UK is much higher at around 15:1.
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 signalling, 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.
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.
Thryoid Function
Thyroid hormones help to control the rate at which your body converts food into energy. Thyroid imbalance can lead to problems with weight, energy and mood.
Sex Steroid Hormones
Sex steroid hormones are vital for numerous physiological processes within the body. Their roles extend far beyond reproduction influencing mood, bone health, cognitive function and metabolism.
Pituitary hormones
FSH, LH, and prolactin, produced by the pituitary gland, are essential for reproductive health. Monitoring these hormones helps identify potential fertility issues and hormonal imbalances.
Cortisol
Cortisol, the "stress hormone," is released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It regulates metabolism, maintains blood glucose levels, and modulates immune response. Elevated cortisol can result from anxiety, restricted diets, over-training, infection, trauma, or gland issues, leading to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, muscle weakness, and weight gain.
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 as wells as haemoglobin. These tests helps identify conditions like anaemia, infections, and blood disorders.

Important information regarding corrected calcium
Our laboratories have conducted stability validation for all biomarkers provided by Forth. Corrected Calcium has a shorter stability window than most markers, typically around 2 to 3 days. To ensure timely processing, Forth includes a Tracked 24 return envelope with all kits, allowing samples to reach the lab within 24 hours. In most cases, samples are returned within this stability period. If a sample arrives after this time frame, the corrected calcium result will not be provided.
