A clinic-based iron status check covering iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation, for anyone who prefers a clinician to take the sample rather than doing a home finger-prick kit.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test reports on your iron status through a panel of related markers: iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation, which together indicate whether your iron levels are low, potentially linked to fatigue or anaemia, or high, potentially linked to iron overload.
Compared with the other iron test in our data, this clinic version is the pricier route: Better2Know's own home finger-prick kit measures the same panel for £75, half this test's £150. Against the wider set of similarly sized vitamin and mineral tests we track, £150 is roughly 76% above the median of £85, making this one of the costlier ways to check iron status.
It scores in the middle for collection convenience, since a home nurse visit is offered as an alternative to attending a clinic, but scores poorly on price given how far above the market median it sits. Clinical depth and results and follow-up mirror the home kit: a single combined marker and no doctor review as standard, so the extra cost here buys a supervised blood draw rather than extra information.
This suits people who would rather have a trained clinician take the blood sample, whether at a Better2Know clinic or via a home nurse visit, than do a finger-prick test themselves. If cost is the priority and you are comfortable taking your own sample, Better2Know's Iron Status Profile Home Test Kit checks the same panel for £75, half the price of this option.
A clinician takes a venous blood sample at a Better2Know clinic, or you can arrange a home nurse visit instead. The sample is sent to the laboratory, and Better2Know states results are typically ready within one working day of arrival, viewable in your secure online patient area. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, though Better2Know says it will arrange a doctor's appointment if your levels are outside the normal range.
This test measures iron status, including iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation, from a blood sample taken at a Better2Know clinic or during a home nurse visit. At £150 it costs exactly double Better2Know's own home finger-prick version of the same panel (£75), and sits around 76% above the roughly £85 median for similarly sized vitamin and mineral tests we track. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
