Metabolic health blood test
Mid-depth metabolic panel priced well below peers
Measures 19 markers of blood sugar, cholesterol, liver, kidney and inflammation to give a broad view of metabolic health.
- At-home test
This blood test covers cholesterol, blood sugar (HbA1c), liver, thyroid, testosterone and vitamin D. It suits anyone wanting a wider metabolic check rather than a single measure like cholesterol alone.
14 biomarkers as listed by Numan.
The panel combines a lipid profile (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol), HbA1c, which is commonly used to assess blood sugar control over recent months, liver markers (ALP, ALT, albumin), testosterone, thyroid markers (TSH, free T4) and vitamin D. Numan groups these together because weight and metabolism can be influenced by hormonal, thyroid, liver and blood sugar factors as well as diet.
We do not have a matched set of competing tests with this exact combination of markers to compare it against directly. Against the wider set of metabolism tests we track, it scores well on price for the number of markers covered, though its marker count sits around the middle of that broader group rather than at the top.
Clarity scores well here too, with the marker list, sample type, collection options and turnaround all clearly stated, and trust signals score highly. Results and follow-up score well because a doctor reviews your results as standard.
This suits you if you want to look at weight and metabolism from several angles at once, cholesterol, blood sugar, liver, thyroid and testosterone, in a single test with a doctor review included, rather than testing one factor on its own.
We do not have directly comparable competing tests logged for this exact panel to weigh it against on price or depth. If your main concern is thyroid function and vitamin D specifically, Numan's own Thyroid Health Blood Test covers both for the same £88.
You collect a finger-prick sample at home, or add £10 for a Tasso+ upper-arm device. Once it reaches the lab, results are typically ready within 3 to 5 days, and a doctor reviews them as standard.
Numan's Metabolic Blood Test covers 14 markers for £88, spanning cholesterol, HbA1c, liver, thyroid, testosterone and vitamin D rather than a single measure. We do not have directly comparable competing tests logged for this combination, but its price scores well against similar metabolism tests we track. Results are reviewed by a doctor as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
14 biomarkers, placing it in the 38th percentile of metabolism tests we track.
A finger-prick sample you take at home; results in around 5 days, in line with or faster than similar tests.
Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.
Trustpilot 4.6 from 35,911 reviews; accredited lab (UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs (Alderley Lighthouse, Randox)); CQC registered; doctor review as standard.
