Checked my ferritin, all sorted

I've been doing these test kits for a few years now to keep an eye on ferritin since I train hard and eat mostly plant based. This one covers everything I need and the ranges shown are the proper ones I'd expect from a lab. Signing up was quick and the sample collection hasn't changed much from others I've used. Results arrived in a few days and matched what I'd seen before.

been using them for years

The specific thing I bought was the full blood count and cholesterol panel, which I've now done three times in the last six years. Each time the process has stayed the same and the results have been consistent. The kit arrives promptly, the instructions are clear enough for a man who doesn't read them, and the results page has gotten better with every update. My GP accepts the printouts without any fuss, which matters to me. Keep it up.

Simple and clear, would use again

Really simple from start to finish. I wanted to check my cholesterol and blood sugar before my annual health check. The kit came quickly and the instructions were clear. Results appeared in the app with a short summary that I actually understood. Would use again next year.

App is actually well made

the app is the best bit tbh. you see your results, the little graphs and the notes on what they mean, and it doesn't make you feel like you're about to die lol. signed up in like five minutes on my phone. took the sample, posted it back, and got a notification when results were in. easy. my mum thinks it's a waste of money but i don't

Proper tests, no nonsense

Best home testing service I've used and I've tried a couple. The markers they cover are sensible and the reference ranges look right to me as someone who reads lab reports for work. Ordering took two minutes. The kit arrived with everything I needed, results were back in the app within a week.

Really good, first time and I'd do it again

Honestly this was a really good first experience. I ordered the iron and general wellbeing panel because I'd been exhausted for months and wanted to know what was going on before booking a gp appointment. Signing up was quick and the instructions for the finger prick were clear, and the explanations on the results page were written in plain English rather than medical jargon. Would definitely use them again.

Got my cholesterol checked without a fuss

The results page had a traffic light colour for each number which made it easy to see what was fine. Ordering took a few minutes and the kit arrived quickly. Filled it in at the kitchen table, dropped it in the post and got the results back in the app after a week or so.

The explanations were very helpful

I was most struck by how the results were explained in plain language, which I did not expect from a home testing service. My late husband always had his bloods done at the surgery and I was rather anxious about doing this on my own. The instructions were clear and the kit arrived well packed. The summary was sensible and I appreciated being told which figures were worth discussing with my doctor. I felt well looked after throughout.

Better than the pharmacy finger prick

Compared it to the pharmacy finger prick thing and this is way better, you get a full panel and not just one number. Signing up was dead easy on my phone and the kit came quick. The app shows your results with little colour bars so you can see what's ok straight away. Would do again.

the hormone panel

Bought the hormone panel after reading about it online. The finger prick was less painful than I thought and the kit came in a discreet envelope. Results were easy to read on the app. Really happy.

Needed a cheap way to check my iron

I needed a cheap way to check my iron levels after my last period got heavy and I felt wiped out. Found this one and it worked out well for what I paid. The kit posted fast, the sample collection was easy, and the summary told me exactly which numbers to chat to my GP about. Good value.

Tried three before settling on this

Before picking this one I compared three home testing services, mainly on price and what markers they covered. The specific test I went with was the general health panel, which had the most useful markers for the money. The kit arrived well packaged, the sample instructions were clear, and results were in the app within about a week. It's the one I'd pick again.

Way cheaper than going through the gp

Compared it to going private through a clinic and it was roughly a third of the cost for a similar set of markers. Ordering took about five minutes on the site and the kit arrived in a plain envelope. Results came through in the app a few days after the lab got the sample, and I could see each number next to its range without paying for a consultation. Good value if you just want the numbers.
