Laboratory Biomarkers

Laboratory Biomarkers

Do you want more energy, better sleep, or even healthier skin? Whatever your personal health goals, you can use our biomarker health checks to make sure your body is getting enough of what it needs, helping you to reach your personal best. We test over 70 essential biomarkers which have an effect on your health, wellbeing, and performance. Examples include: Baseline Health Checks, Testosterone, Male Fitness, and Vitamin Deficiencies.

Samples require a small blood sample and results take 2 to 3 days. All our laboratory biomarkers are reviewed by a GP or a nurse, who provide guidance for clients with results outside the normal range.

Baseline Health Check (Cost £155)

The Baseline Health Check is a simple test that provides insights into some of the most essential health markers. The laboratory test identifies 25 biomarkers that provide an insight into your liver and kidney function, haemoglobin and iron levels, cholesterol, red and white blood cell count, testosterone, vitamins B12 and D, and triglycerides. The sample requires a simple finger-prick and the results, which are reviewed by a doctor or a nurse, are available within a few days.

Advanced Health Check (Cost £229)

In addition to the 25 biomarkers that constitute the Baseline Health check, the Advanced Health Check adds another 15 to include creatine testing to measure energy levels, HDL:LDL ratio to indicate cholesterol health, thyroid activity, diabetes, alongside urea and uric acid levels which monitor liver and kidney function.  Samples require a small blood sample and results take 2 to 3 days. All laboratory biomarkers are reviewed by a GP or a nurse, who provide guidance for clients with results outside the normal range.

Ultimate Health Check (Cost £439)

The Ultimate Health Check checks an impressive 47 biomarkers. Five biomarkers are included to measure thyroid function. Red and white blood cell counts, alongside Vitamin B12, ferritin, and haemoglobin, highlight any issues with the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood. Creatine and creatine kinase biomarkers reflect the energy status of the muscles, whilst tests for vitamins A, B12, D and E, highlight nutrient deficiences. Nine sex hormones are analysed, plus tests to check your liver, heart, and kidney functions. Rest reassured, any levels outside the norm are always reviewed and fed back by a GP or nurse.

Male Fitness (Cost £160)

Our Male Fitness blood test is ideal for those taking part in regular, intensive exercise whether for recreation or as a professional athlete. This test will help identify areas that could be causing poor sports performance, such as slow recovery times, low energy, or muscle injuries. It measures key hormones and nutrition. 15 biomarkers include Vitamin B12, ferritin, haemoglobin, and red blood cell count to measure the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. In addition, it’s tested for cortisol which would indicate a poor response to stress, testosterone, and other sex hormones. Finally, hCRP, a biomarker for increased risk of cardiovascular disease. We can also offer bespoke Male Fitness tests for endurance, powerlifters, triathletes, cyclists and runners.

Male Hormones (Cost £129)

Our Male Hormones blood test is designed for men who may be experiencing low energy, mood changes, changes in metabolism, or loss of sex drive. Testosterone is the hormone that most men associate with these symptoms, but the control of testosterone levels depends upon other hormones as well. FSH, LH, oestrogen, prolactin, and testosterone are all biomarkers in our bespoke Male Hormone test. If you’re wondering why we’re testing hormones found in women, you might be surprised to learn that both sexes have the same hormones, it’s just that the levels are different.

Maintaining normal testosterone levels in elderly men has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, increased lean body mass, decreased visceral fat mass, and decreased cholesterol. Preliminary evidence also suggests that low levels of testosterone may be a risk factor in cognitive decline. 

The potential benefits of testosterone:

  • increased lean body mass
  • less risk of cardiovascular disease
  • improved cognitive function
  • increased energy levels and endurance
  • less visceral (abdomen) fat
  • hair and collagen growth
  • erectile function
  • increased sex drive
  • improved mood and confidence
  • increased red blood cell production
