Single-marker B6 test priced above the vitamins median
Checks your blood level of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), which supports brain function, red blood cell production and protein metabolism. Suited to anyone wanting to check for a deficiency behind low mood or fatigue.
Same HbA1c marker as Medichecks' cheaper test, at £85
This single-marker blood test measures HbA1c, your average blood sugar over roughly the past two to three months. It is marketed toward drivers but measures the same marker as Medichecks' standard diabetes test.
Two-marker Lyme antibody check, at-home option
Measures IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium behind Lyme disease, to check whether you've likely been exposed. Suited to people who've had a tick bite or spent time in tick habitats.
Standalone leptin test, no comparable benchmark
Measures leptin, a hormone involved in regulating appetite and metabolism. Suits people wanting to check whether leptin levels could be a factor in difficulty managing hunger or weight.
Single vitamin marker, clinic visit needed
This test measures biotin (vitamin B7) levels in your blood, a marker linked to skin, hair and metabolism. It suits people who want to check their biotin status, for example if they are concerned about deficiency or supplement use.
Highest price and longest wait among these vitamin tests
This test measures vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), a nutrient involved in energy production, hormone synthesis and skin health. It suits people who want to check their nutritional status for this specific vitamin.
Niche nickel-exposure check, markers not listed by provider
Checks nickel levels in urine to help assess exposure to the metal, relevant if you work with nickel, wear certain jewellery, or are otherwise concerned about exposure and possible skin or respiratory symptoms.
Same single marker as Medichecks' £55 test, priced at £189
Checks for hepatitis B surface antigen, the marker used to indicate current infection. It measures one biomarker despite the Profile name, so it suits situations calling for that specific antigen check rather than a broader panel.
Pricey, but the only Medichecks test measuring viral load
Measures the amount of hepatitis C virus in your blood, known as viral load, to gauge how active an infection is or track response to treatment. Suits people who have already tested positive for hepatitis C rather than those checking for first exposure.
Single-marker oestrone test, priced well above median
Measures oestrone, one of the three main forms of oestrogen and the dominant one after menopause, to help build a picture of your hormonal health. Suits postmenopausal hormone monitoring rather than general hormone screening.
Specialist B12 follow-up marker, priced high for one test
Measures methylmalonic acid, a marker that rises when vitamin B12 levels are too low. Useful if you have B12-deficiency symptoms but a normal or borderline standard B12 result.
Single-marker EBV DNA test at a premium price
This blood test detects Epstein-Barr virus DNA to show whether you have a current or recent infection, before antibodies would normally appear. It suits people with symptoms of glandular fever who want an early answer.
