This venous blood test checks 23 markers spanning hormones, liver, kidney, thyroid, iron and cholesterol, designed for athletes and active people monitoring training load and recovery. It suits women who want a broad performance panel alongside routine health markers.
23 biomarkers as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
This panel combines a full blood count with markers across cholesterol, sex hormones, iron, kidney function, liver function, proteins and thyroid, aimed at picking up patterns linked to over-training or over-supplementing alongside general health status. It was originally requested by a national athletic group, according to the provider, though the range of markers is broad enough to suit anyone wanting a detailed blood picture alongside sport-specific hormone checks.
Against its eight-test comparison group, price sits close to the median, £132.25 against £135, about 2% below. Marker count is somewhat below the group median too, at 23 against 29 across the comparison group. The closest match in the group is Blue Horizon's own Male Athlete Plus, which costs £90.25 and covers 24 markers, meaning it is both cheaper and deeper than this test on the data we hold.
Clarity is a strength, with a detailed description, the full biomarker list, clear collection options and sample type all published. Collection convenience is only middling because it requires a venous draw at a clinic, with a home nurse visit as the alternative, though results are back in around 2 days, and it scores well on results and follow-up thanks to the doctor review.
This suits you if you want a female-specific sports and performance panel with a full blood count and sex hormone testing in one venous draw. If price and marker count matter most, Blue Horizon's own Male Athlete Plus covers one more marker for £42 less, and Medichecks' Fitness Blood Test covers 15 markers for £83 if a shorter panel is enough. At the deeper end, Medichecks' Advanced Sports Hormone Blood Test covers 42 markers for £159.
The sample is taken as a venous blood draw, either at a clinic or via a nurse who visits your home. The lab measures all 23 markers, and results are typically ready in around 2 days. A doctor reviews the results before you receive them.
This 23-marker sports panel costs £132.25, close to the £135 median for its eight-test comparison group, and includes hormones, thyroid, liver, kidney and cholesterol markers alongside a full blood count. The notable gap is against Blue Horizon's own Male Athlete Plus, which covers 24 markers for £90.25, more depth for £42 less.
