Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before this test?
No. You can eat and drink as normal before your sample. Take your regular medications as usual unless your GP has advised otherwise.
How long do results take?
Results are typically returned 3 to 5 working days after your sample is received. You will receive a written report showing each level against its reference range.
What if a result is low?
A low result does not diagnose a condition on its own. The pharmacist will explain what your levels mean, discuss whether supplementation may be appropriate, and recommend GP follow-up if needed.
Can I do this test at home or by post?
No. This test is available in store only: attend our Holborn pharmacy, where a trained phlebotomist takes your sample.
When to seek further advice
This test does not diagnose a condition. Reference ranges are provided with your report; discuss your results with a clinician, and if a result is abnormal, follow it up with your GP. Seek prompt medical advice if you feel acutely unwell.
This is a private health screening service. Results are interpretive and do not replace clinical diagnosis by a GP or specialist. Abnormal results should be followed up with your GP.
