This profile checks seven nutrient markers, including active B12, folate, ferritin, copper, zinc and vitamin D, along with caeruloplasmin. It is aimed at people following the Walsh Protocol, an approach used by some nutritional specialists that links nutrient status to mental health.
7 biomarkers as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
This profile checks seven markers: caeruloplasmin, active B12, folate, ferritin, copper, zinc and vitamin D. It is built around the specific set of nutrients used in the Walsh Protocol, an approach followed by some nutritional specialists that is based on the idea that imbalances in these nutrients may be linked to mental health. Copper and zinc in particular are checked together here because the two minerals interact in the body, and ferritin is included as a marker of iron stores and inflammation alongside the vitamin readings.
Blue Horizon does not place this profile in a formal comparison group against other providers. Against the wider set of similarly sized vitamin and mineral profiles we track, its price of £141.25 sits well above the typical median, which is the main drag on its value for money score. It fares much better on clinical depth, with seven markers placing it among the more comprehensive vitamin profiles we track, and on collection convenience, since it can be done at home by finger-prick as well as by venous draw or nurse visit.
Documentation is reasonably clear, stating the sample type, biomarker list and a roughly ten-day turnaround. Trust signals reflect the provider's Trustpilot rating and accredited UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and doctor review isn't included by default, so add it as a checkout extra if you want it.
This profile suits you if you are following the Walsh Protocol under the guidance of a nutritional specialist and need to check the specific set of markers it uses, rather than wanting a general vitamins screen. The at-home finger-prick option makes it straightforward to collect a sample without visiting a clinic.
If cost is a concern and you do not need this exact combination of markers, it is worth checking whether individual tests for the nutrients you actually need would work out cheaper, since this profile is priced well above the typical range for vitamin and mineral profiles of a similar size that we track.
This is a blood test covering seven nutrient markers. You can collect your sample at home using a finger-prick kit, or have a venous blood draw at a clinic or via a nurse home visit. Once your sample reaches the laboratory, results are typically ready in around ten days. A doctor's review of your results can be added as an opt-in extra at checkout.
