A blood test measuring serum copper levels, used to check for copper deficiency or excess linked to metabolic or liver conditions. Suits people already being investigated for a specific copper-related concern rather than general screening.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test measures the amount of copper circulating in your blood. Copper is a trace mineral involved in energy production, iron metabolism and nervous system function, and levels outside the normal range are commonly assessed alongside symptoms such as fatigue, neurological changes or liver abnormalities. Because it measures only one marker, it is a targeted test rather than a broad panel. If you are experiencing symptoms like these, it is worth discussing them with your GP alongside any test result.
We do not have a named comparison group for this specific test, but against the wider set of 73 similarly sized vitamin and mineral tests we track, its £195 price is 129% above the £85 median, and its single biomarker places it in the 31st percentile for depth. So this is a narrowly focused test priced well above the typical single-marker vitamin or mineral test.
It scores strongly for clarity, with a full description, biomarker detail and turnaround published up front, and moderately for collection convenience, since it needs a venous blood draw though a home nurse visit is offered as an alternative to a clinic appointment. It scores lower on results and follow-up because, as with Better2Know's other tests, results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
This suits you if you specifically want to check your serum copper level, for example if you or your GP suspect a copper-related concern, rather than as part of routine general screening. Given it tests only one marker, it makes more sense as a targeted follow-up test than a general health check.
We do not hold named peer tests in our data for a direct price comparison here. If you want copper checked alongside other markers rather than on its own, it may be worth looking at broader mineral or micronutrient panels instead of this single-marker test.
A trained healthcare professional takes a blood sample at a clinic appointment, or you can arrange a home nurse visit instead. The sample is sent to the laboratory, which measures the concentration of copper in your serum. The fact sheet states results are available within about 5 working days, though it does not state whether they are doctor-reviewed as standard.
This is a single-marker blood test for serum copper, priced at £195. That is 129% above the £85 median for the 73 similarly sized vitamin and mineral tests we track, and its single biomarker places it in the lower third for depth among tests of this type. There are no named peer tests in our data for direct comparison, and results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
