About this test

This panel spans thyroid function and antibodies, cholesterol, diabetes and blood sugar markers, full blood count, iron status, kidney and liver function, nutritional markers, pancreatic markers, and personal health measurements including blood pressure, waist and hip circumference, height, oxygen saturation and body composition. The provider positions it specifically for people starting or already taking GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro or Wegovy, to establish a baseline and monitor nutritional health, liver and kidney function, and pancreatic markers during treatment, since these medications can reduce appetite and food intake.

There is no comparison group set up for this test, so we cannot benchmark its £197 price or 70-marker depth against named rivals in our data.

The scores reflect a very broad, well-documented panel with an untested price point. Clinical depth is the maximum score, with 70 biomarkers placing it at the top of the metabolism tests we track. Collection convenience is limited by the clinic visit, even though results return within 2 days. Value for money is only middling, since there is nothing yet to compare the £197 price against. Results and follow-up scores lower since results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits people already taking or starting a GLP-1 weight-loss medication who want a broad baseline and periodic monitoring, since the provider suggests retesting every 3 to 6 months during treatment. It is not aimed at general weight management without medication. If only specific markers matter to you, such as vitamins or thyroid function alone, Randox's smaller standalone panels are cheaper.

How it works

You attend a Randox Health clinic for a venous blood draw. The lab analyses 70 biomarkers alongside recorded personal health measurements, with results available within 48 hours of the sample arriving, though they are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 70 biomarkers, the deepest metabolism panel we currently track in this category
  • Includes personal health measurements like blood pressure, waist and hip circumference, and body composition
  • Positioned specifically for people on GLP-1 medication, covering nutritional, liver, kidney and pancreatic markers relevant during treatment
  • Results within 48 hours of the sample reaching the lab

Cons

  • Not reviewed by a doctor as standard
  • No comparable tests in our data yet to judge whether £197 is good value
  • Requires a venous draw at a clinic rather than an at-home kit
  • Provider recommends retesting every 3 to 6 months, adding ongoing cost beyond the initial £197

Uric acid test

A single-marker blood test measuring uric acid, used to help monitor gout risk and related joint, kidney and metabolic health.

  • At-home test
8.5 / 10 Below-median price for a single-marker uric acid test

Metabolic Health Blood Test

Checks cholesterol (including HDL, LDL and triglycerides), blood sugar control (HbA1c) and inflammation (CRP), markers linked to heart and metabolic health. Suited to anyone wanting a wider check on these risk factors rather than a single cholesterol test.

  • At-home test
8.1 / 10 Priced below average for a 9-marker metabolic panel
