About this test

This test is aimed at women who are pregnant and want to check their nutritional status, covering markers including folate, iron and vitamin D among 13 markers in total. These are commonly used to spot low nutrient levels that can affect wellbeing during pregnancy, though the test does not replace antenatal care and any concerns should go to your midwife or GP.

We do not have named direct competitors for this specific combination of pregnancy-related markers. Against the wider set of eight similarly sized fertility tests we track, its £125 price is 29% below the £177 median, and its 13 markers place it in the 89th percentile for depth among that broader group.

value for money and clinical depth both score well here. Clarity is weaker, because the provider does not publish the full list of 13 markers, only naming folate, iron and vitamin D as examples. Collection is flexible using AutoDraw, a home nurse visit, or a clinic visit, though there is no finger-prick option, and results are reviewed by a doctor within 2 days.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you are pregnant and want a broad nutrient check covering more than one or two vitamins. If you only want to check a single marker, such as vitamin D or B12, Forth's dedicated single-marker tests are cheaper and the full biomarker is clearly named.

How it works

You collect your sample using Forth's AutoDraw device, a home nurse visit, or a venous draw at a partner clinic; a finger-prick kit is not offered for this test. The lab analyses all 13 markers, including folate, iron and vitamin D, and a doctor reviews your results. Results are typically available within 2 days.
