About this test

This test screens 286 food and drink items from a finger-prick blood sample, covering categories including fish and seafood, fruit and a wide range of vegetables. Every order includes a virtual consultation with a nutritionist and a month of free access to the provider's meal planner app.

At £179.99 it is priced 29% above the £139 median for the food intolerance tests we track, and it is the most expensive test among the specific comparators listed against it, including YorkTest's Premium Food Intolerance Test (£139, 200 items) and the provider's own Essential Food Intolerance Test (£169, 229 items). Its 286 markers are above the group median of 218 but well short of the provider's own hair-sample tests, which run to 1,500.

It scores reasonably for clinical depth given its marker count, but lowest of the provider's intolerance tests for value for money, since it costs more than the group median without matching the marker counts of the cheaper hair-sample options. It also scores lowest for results and follow-up, since results are not doctor-reviewed as standard despite the included consultation.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you specifically want a blood sample rather than hair and are less concerned about cost per marker. If value for money matters more, the provider's own Essentials (£26.99, 650 items), Complete (£32.99, 990 items) and Body Intolerance (£34.99, 1,500 items) tests all cover more items for a fraction of the price, using a hair sample instead.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to the lab, with the provider stating a three-day turnaround. Every order includes a virtual nutritionist consultation and a month of free meal planner access. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
