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.
9 biomarkers as listed by Selph.
The Metabolic Health Blood Test measures nine markers across three areas: cholesterol status (HDL, LDL, non-HDL and total cholesterol, triglycerides and the cholesterol-to-HDL ratio), blood sugar control via HbA1c, and inflammation via high-sensitivity CRP. Cholesterol markers are commonly used to assess cardiovascular risk, HbA1c reflects average blood sugar over roughly three months, and CRP is a general marker of inflammation in the body.
There's no other test in Selph's own comparison group for this exact combination of markers, so no like-for-like comparison is available on this site. Against the wider set of similarly sized metabolism tests we track, its £69 price is about 22% below the £88 median, though its nine markers put it in the lower range for clinical depth, in the 18th percentile among that group.
Its highest scores come from collection convenience and trust signals: it can be taken at home by finger-prick or upgraded to a clinic or nurse visit, with results reviewed by a doctor within two days. Clinical depth scores lower, reflecting a marker count towards the smaller end of the metabolism tests we track, while clarity and documentation score well because the listing sets out the full biomarker list, collection options and turnaround, though it doesn't describe the report itself.
This suits anyone wanting a wider first check on cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, such as cholesterol and blood sugar handling, rather than a single test. It's a reasonable option if you want to track these markers occasionally to see how diet, exercise or weight changes affect them over time. If you specifically want a deeper dive into any one of these areas, check the biomarker list closely, as this panel keeps to nine core markers rather than an extended profile.
You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home using the included kit, or pay extra for Tasso EasyDraw, a clinic visit, a home nurse visit or your own venous draw. Once the sample reaches Selph's lab, results are typically available in one to two days and are reviewed by a Selph doctor before your report is issued.
This £69 test measures nine markers covering cholesterol, blood sugar (HbA1c) and inflammation, giving a broader view of metabolic risk than a single cholesterol check. There's no named comparison group for this exact combination on this site, but the price sits about 22% below the average for similarly sized metabolism tests we track. Results are reviewed by a doctor within one to two days.
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.
9 biomarkers, placing it in the 18th percentile of metabolism tests we track.
A finger-prick sample you take at home; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 2 days, well ahead of the metabolism norm of 5.
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.
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.
Broad 21-marker panel for people on oral semaglutide
A 21-marker blood panel covering kidney, liver, lipid and blood sugar markers plus lipase, aimed at people taking oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) who want to monitor how their body is responding over time.
