This single-marker blood test measures vitamin D, commonly checked to assess deficiency that can affect energy, bone health and mood. Suits anyone wanting a quick vitamin D check, including those with limited sun exposure.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
The provider description for this test mentions cholesterol as well as vitamin D, but the biomarker list we hold for it shows a single marker: vitamin D. Vitamin D is commonly checked to assess deficiency, which can affect energy, bone health and mood, particularly if you get limited sun exposure through long hours driving.
Within its eight-test Vitamin D comparison group, £49 sits at the group median, matching London Medical Laboratory's price exactly. Several alternatives are cheaper, though, including Medichecks' own Vitamin D (25 OH) Blood Test at £39, Randox Health's Vitamin D Quickdraw at £46, YorkTest at £41, Monitor My Health at £38, and MyHealthChecked's Vitamin D Rapid Test at just £8.
value for money scores only moderately because the price sits on the median rather than below it, and collection convenience is limited because this product needs a venous draw at a clinic or nurse visit rather than a finger-prick kit, with results back within 5 days.
If a vitamin D check is genuinely all you want, this test will do that, but there is no reason to pay £49 here when Medichecks sells its own Vitamin D (25 OH) Blood Test for £39 with a comparable single-marker result. Budget shoppers could also consider MyHealthChecked's £8 rapid test, though we cannot say from this data how its accuracy or lab process compares.
This driver-branded product only makes sense if the marketing angle or bundled experience matters more to you than price, since the underlying marker measured is the same as several cheaper alternatives.
The sample is a venous blood draw, taken at a Medichecks clinic or via a home nurse visit; this product does not offer an at-home finger-prick option. The lab analyses the sample for vitamin D, and Medichecks states results are typically back within 5 days, reviewed by a doctor.
Despite the driver-themed marketing mentioning cholesterol, the only marker in this test is vitamin D. At £49 it matches London Medical Laboratory's price in this group but costs more than Medichecks' own Vitamin D (25 OH) Blood Test at £39, and considerably more than MyHealthChecked's £8 rapid test. If you only need a vitamin D check, cheaper options exist, including from Medichecks itself.
