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.

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 are biomarkers?

What is a hs-CRP blood test?
This high sensitivity CRP test (hs-CRP) is for anyone concerned that their lifestyle might be increasing their risk of inflammation within the body. This could be due to a poor diet, inactive lifestyle, smoking or even intense exercise.
How to test hs-CRP at home
Checking your inflammation levels at home is easy with our hs-CRP finger prick blood test. The kit includes everything you need to collect a small sample of blood at home and post it back to our labs for analysis. You’ll get the results sent back to you via our app within 2 days of our lab receiving your sample, along with comments from our medical team to help you understand them.
What is a normal range of hs-CRP?
We work with NHS labs to measure hs-CRP levels, and the normal range (reference range) for adults is 0-5 mg/L.
High levels of hs-CRP (above 5mg/L) can be caused by illness, infections and autoimmune diseases. Pregnancy and obesity can also cause slightly elevated levels of hs-CRP.
CRP levels above 50mg/L are considered severely elevated[1] and are often associated with acute bacterial infections.
Frequently asked questions
This is what our customers ask us most about this test. For more information, try our help centre.
Are high levels of CRP dangerous?
High levels of CRP can be considered dangerous depending on your medical history and the underlying cause of the raised levels. HS-CRP can be an indicator of long-term inflammation – which can impact immune system functionality and cause other health issues – and can indicate possible ongoing atherosclerosis (thickening and hardening of the arteries).
What causes inflammation in the body?
Inflammation is normally caused by a cut or injury (acute inflammation), where the body sends out inflammatory cells and cytokines (that stimulate inflammatory cells) to kill off invading microorganisms and heal tissue.
Inflammation can also be caused by chronic inflammation where the body does not stop the inflammatory response even though there is no need for your body’s defences to be heightened.
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.

CRP Blood Test (hs-CRP), recommended by our doctors
"C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein made by the liver, levels increase when there is a inflammation somewhere in the body. The "hs" on the test we offer refers to High Sensitivity which means the test is able to pick up much lower levels of the protein in your blood. Higher levels are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but can also indicate effects of training impact and spot autoimmune and infective disease."
