Metabolic health blood test
Measures 19 markers of blood sugar, cholesterol, liver, kidney and inflammation to give a broad view of metabolic health.
- At-home test
A 70-marker blood panel designed for people taking GLP-1 weight-loss medication, covering nutritional health, liver and kidney function, and personal health measurements.
60 biomarkers as listed by Randox Health, of 70 in total.
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.
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.
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.
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.
70 biomarkers, placing it in the 100th percentile of metabolism tests we track.
Requires a venous draw at a clinic; results within 2 days.
Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Measures 19 markers of blood sugar, cholesterol, liver, kidney and inflammation to give a broad view of metabolic health.
A single-marker blood test measuring uric acid, used to help monitor gout risk and related joint, kidney and metabolic health.
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.
