A 12-marker at-home blood test covering cholesterol, blood sugar and testosterone, designed to show how these markers change as you lose weight. Suits people already losing weight who want objective markers to track alongside the scales.
12 biomarkers as listed by Numan.
This is an at-home blood test aimed at people who are losing weight and want to see how their internal health markers are responding, not just the number on the scales. It covers 12 biomarkers: a lipid panel (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and the cholesterol-to-HDL ratio, plus non-HDL cholesterol and apolipoproteins), HbA1c as a longer-term view of blood sugar, both total and free testosterone and SHBG, and albumin and vitamin D. Cholesterol and HbA1c are commonly used to assess cardiovascular and blood sugar health, both of which can shift as weight changes, and testosterone is included because Numan notes it can fluctuate with weight loss and weight gain in both men and women.
There is no published comparison group for this specific test on our site, so it cannot be judged against named rivals, but its £78 price sits well below the roughly £119 median we see across the 17 similarly sized metabolism tests we track, a saving of around a third. Collection is by an at-home finger-prick kit, with the option to pay £10 more for a Tasso+ upper-arm device if you would rather not use a lancet, and results typically come back in three to five days.
The score here is helped most by trust and clarity: Numan is CQC registered, uses UKAS ISO 15189 accredited partner labs (Alderley Lighthouse and Randox), and every result is reviewed by a doctor rather than left for you to interpret alone; the listing itself is also detailed, with a full biomarker breakdown, sample type and turnaround all published upfront. It loses a little ground on clinical depth, since 12 markers is on the smaller side for this category, and only picks up a moderate mark for results and follow-up because a doctor review is confirmed but the sheet gives no further detail on what that follow-up involves.
This suits you if you are already actively losing weight, whether through diet, exercise or a weight-loss medication, and want objective markers to check alongside the number on the scales, particularly around cholesterol, blood sugar and testosterone. It is a reasonable option if you would rather not visit a clinic, since the whole process runs from an at-home finger-prick kit (or the pricier Tasso+ device) and a doctor reviews your results for you.
It is less suited to anyone who needs a broader hormone or nutrient panel, since at 12 markers this sits toward the smaller end for a metabolism-focused test, or to anyone who wants to know exactly what the results report will look like before buying, as the provider does not publish that detail. We do not have a directly comparable named alternative from another provider in our data to point you to instead.
You take the sample yourself at home using a finger-prick kit, or you can pay an extra £10 for a Tasso+ device that draws blood from the upper arm instead of a fingertip. Once your sample reaches the lab it is processed as a blood test, and results are typically ready in three to five days. A doctor reviews your results as standard before you see them, rather than handing back raw numbers alone. The sheet does not state what form the results report itself takes.
Numan's Weight Loss Blood Test checks 12 markers spanning cholesterol, blood sugar and testosterone, giving a snapshot of how these shift as you lose weight. At £78, it costs less than the roughly £119 median we see across similarly sized metabolism tests, and every result is reviewed by a doctor. The main gap is that the provider does not say what the results report itself looks like.
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.
12 biomarkers, placing it in the 30th 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.

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.
Below-median price for a single-marker uric acid test
A single-marker blood test measuring uric acid, used to help monitor gout risk and related joint, kidney and metabolic health.
Organ and metabolic monitoring panel for Ozempic users
This 21-marker panel checks liver, kidney, lipid and blood sugar markers alongside lipase, designed for people taking Ozempic (semaglutide) who want to monitor how their body is responding to treatment.
Wide 21-marker panel for ongoing Wegovy monitoring
This is a 21-marker blood panel covering kidney, liver, lipid and blood sugar markers, intended for people taking Wegovy (semaglutide) for weight management who want to monitor these systems over time. It suits ongoing monitoring rather than one-off screening.
