This test measures biotin (vitamin B7) levels in your blood, a marker linked to skin, hair and metabolism. It suits people who want to check their biotin status, for example if they are concerned about deficiency or supplement use.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
Biotin, also called vitamin B7, is a water-soluble vitamin the body needs for healthy skin, hair and energy metabolism. This test measures your biotin level as a single marker, which is useful if you specifically want to check your status rather than run a wider vitamin panel.
Among the vitamin tests we track, a single biomarker places it in the lower-to-middle band for depth. On price, at £129 it costs above the typical vitamin test of similar size in our tracking.
Documentation is a strength here, with the biomarker, sample type, turnaround and collection options all spelled out clearly, aside from the report format, which isn't described. It also benefits from Medichecks' broader trust signals: a 4.5 Trustpilot score from over 2,400 reviews, UKAS ISO 15189 accredited partner labs, standard doctor review, and 25-plus years trading. Collection convenience is lower, though, since there's no at-home option and you need a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit.
This test suits you if you specifically want to check your biotin level, for example if you take biotin supplements or are looking into hair, skin or energy concerns, rather than run a broader vitamin panel. If you want a wider check on your vitamin status, look for a test covering multiple vitamins rather than this single marker.
If your concern relates to ongoing symptoms, it's also worth discussing them with your GP alongside taking this test.
You give your sample via an in-store clinic, a home nurse visit, or a venous draw at a clinic; there's no at-home finger-prick option for this test. The lab tests your sample for biotin, and a doctor reviews the result before your report is sent, typically within 8 days.
This blood test measures biotin for £129, done via a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit, with a doctor's comment on your result. Against other vitamin tests of similar size that we track, it is priced above the typical cost, and it checks a single marker rather than a wider vitamin panel.
