About this test

This panel brings together 25 markers spanning cholesterol status, HbA1c, iron, kidney and liver function, protein levels, uric acid and three vitamins (folate, active B12 and vitamin D), giving a wide snapshot of how diet and lifestyle factors may be showing up in your blood. It is intended as a broad overview rather than a test for any single condition.

We do not hold a comparison group of directly equivalent tests for this product, so we cannot name specific peers it is priced or sized against. Within the wider set of vitamin-category tests we track, though, its £96 price is well below the £135.13 median, and its biomarker count places it in the 96th percentile for depth among those tests.

The clinical depth score is the maximum because of how many markers are covered. Collection convenience scores lower, since it needs a venous blood draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit rather than a finger-prick kit, though results are still relatively quick. Results and follow-up reflects that every test includes a doctor's review of your results.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a wide-ranging check across cholesterol, blood sugar, iron, kidney and liver function, protein levels and key vitamins in a single test, for example if you are reviewing your diet and lifestyle generally rather than chasing one specific symptom.

We have no comparable test in our data to point you toward instead, so we cannot say whether a cheaper or deeper alternative exists elsewhere. If you only want to check one or two specific markers rather than a broad panel, a smaller, targeted test would likely cost less.

How it works

This test needs a venous blood sample, taken either at a Medichecks clinic or through a home nurse visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option. Once the sample reaches the lab it is analysed across all 25 markers, with Medichecks stating results are typically back within 4 days and every result reviewed by a doctor.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 25 markers across cholesterol, iron, kidney, liver, protein and vitamin status in one test
  • In the 96th percentile for biomarker depth among vitamin-category tests we track
  • £96, below the £135.13 median for similarly sized tests in that category
  • Home nurse visit available if a clinic isn't convenient

Cons

  • This product does not offer an at-home finger-prick option
  • We hold no comparison group for this exact test, so its pricing cannot be checked against direct rivals

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Broad 25-marker panel, no named peers to size it against
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

Cholesterol, blood sugar, iron, kidney, liver, protein and vitamin markers are combined in this 25-marker panel, aimed at a broad check on diet and lifestyle impact. At £96 it costs less than the £135.13 median for similarly sized vitamin-category tests we track, and its biomarker count places it in the 96th percentile for depth in that category. We hold no direct comparison group for this exact test, so there are no named peers to weigh it against, and it needs a clinic or nurse visit rather than a finger-prick kit.
