This test measures vitamin A (retinol), a nutrient involved in eye health, immune function and cell growth. It suits people with a possible deficiency risk, absorption problems, or anyone monitoring their nutritional status.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
Vitamin A (retinol) supports eye health, immune function and cell growth, and this test measures that single marker in your blood. It may be useful if you have signs of possible deficiency, an absorption issue that affects fat-soluble vitamins, or if you simply want to check your nutritional status for this one nutrient.
Being a single-marker test, it sits in the lower half of the vitamin tests we track for clinical depth. On price it is towards the expensive end too: at £119 it runs well above the £85 median for similarly sized vitamin tests. Collection convenience is also lower here, because there is no at-home finger-prick option; you need a venous blood draw at a clinic or via a home nurse visit, and results take around 8 days.
Trust signals score highly, drawing on the provider's Trustpilot record, lab accreditation and long trading history, and every result is reviewed by a doctor before it reaches you.
This suits you if you specifically want to check vitamin A levels, for example because of an absorption condition, dietary restriction, or symptoms your GP has asked you to investigate, and you are comfortable with a venous blood draw rather than a finger-prick. It is less suited to anyone who wants a quick, low-cost, at-home check, since neither is offered here.
We do not have a comparable test logged in this group, so we cannot say whether a cheaper single vitamin A test is available elsewhere; check the price against any alternative you are considering.
This test needs a venous blood draw, taken either at an in-store clinic or through a home nurse visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option. Once the sample reaches the lab it is tested for vitamin A, a doctor reviews the result, and your report is typically ready in around 8 days.
This £119 test measures vitamin A (retinol) alone, and costs well above the median price for similarly sized vitamin tests we track. It requires a venous blood draw at a clinic or home nurse visit rather than an at-home finger-prick, and results take around 8 days. There is no directly comparable test logged in this group to say whether a cheaper option exists.
