Iron and FBC Blood Test
19-marker iron and blood count panel, 37% cheaper
A 19-marker blood panel combining a full blood count with iron studies, for anyone investigating persistent tiredness, weakness or possible anaemia.
A 6-marker blood test covering vitamin D, folate, active B12, zinc, magnesium and ferritin, used to check for common nutrient deficiencies. Suits adults wanting a broad micronutrient check rather than a single vitamin test.
6 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
Six markers commonly checked for nutrient deficiencies make up this profile: vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), active vitamin B12, zinc, magnesium and ferritin (iron stores). Low or borderline levels of these vitamins and minerals are commonly associated with symptoms such as fatigue, low mood, weakened immunity and muscle aches, so the panel is designed to give a broad view of nutritional status rather than checking a single vitamin.
Bluecrest does not list a named comparison group of directly equivalent tests, so this cannot be measured against specific named peers. Its price of £119 is around 34% above the median for the similarly sized vitamin tests we track generally, and it places in the 83rd percentile for marker count among that wider group, so it sits towards the deeper and pricier end for a 6-marker panel.
The score reflects this combination of depth and price. It scores very well on clinical depth, in the 83rd percentile for marker count, and well on clarity and trust, given the detailed description, full biomarker list and Bluecrest's Trustpilot rating, own lab and CQC registration. value for money is weaker, since the price runs above the typical level for similarly sized vitamin tests, and it loses marks on collection convenience, needing a venous draw at a clinic with results in around eight days, and on results and follow-up, since it is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits you if you want a broad check across six common nutrient markers in one test, for example if you suspect your diet, lifestyle or a health condition may be affecting several vitamin or mineral levels at once. If you have symptoms such as persistent fatigue, low mood or brain fog, it is also worth discussing them with your GP.
If you only need a smaller check, Bluecrest describes its own Core Vitamins Profile, covering four markers, as a more basic alternative; we do not have pricing for it here.
The test requires a venous blood draw at a local Bluecrest venue. The sample is sent to Bluecrest's own laboratory, with results typically ready in three to eight days, and the report is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
Vitamin D, folate, active B12, zinc, magnesium and ferritin are checked together in this £119, 6-marker profile. Bluecrest does not name a direct comparison group for it, but the price runs around 34% above the median for similarly sized vitamin tests generally. A smaller four-marker Core Vitamins Profile is also available as a more basic option.
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.
