About this test

This test measures female hormones such as oestradiol, testosterone and progesterone alongside nutrition markers like vitamin D and B12, inflammation (hs-CRP), iron status (ferritin) and blood counts. These are commonly used together to look at recovery, energy and possible causes of underperformance in training.

At £135, this test is priced exactly at the median for its 15-test comparison group, but its marker count (15) sits well below the group's median of 29. Medichecks' Fitness Blood Test covers the same 15 markers for £83, considerably less, while Blue Horizon's Female Athlete Plus test covers 23 markers, more than half again as many, for a similar £132.25. Forth's own Male Fitness Blood Test mirrors this one exactly on price and marker count.

value for money scores in the middle of the range because the price matches the median despite below-median depth. Clinical depth is the weakest criterion for the same reason. Collection convenience scores at the top of the scale since the test is done entirely at home, and clarity and documentation and results and follow-up both score well because the details are published and a doctor reviews the results.

Who is it for?

This suits female athletes who specifically want this combination of hormone, nutrition and blood count markers in one test. Anyone focused purely on value should compare Medichecks' Fitness Blood Test, which covers the same 15 markers for £83, or Blue Horizon's Female Athlete Plus test, which covers 23 markers for a similar price.

How it works

You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home, or choose an AutoDraw device sample, a home nurse visit or a venous draw at a partner clinic. Results are returned within 2 days and reviewed by a doctor before you see your report.
