About this test

This test covers 25 biomarkers spanning cardiovascular health (including ApoB, ApoA1 and a full cholesterol profile), blood sugar control (HbA1c), liver function, kidney function, inflammation (hs-CRP), iron status, key B vitamins and vitamin D. Markers like ApoB and hs-CRP are commonly used to assess cardiovascular risk, while HbA1c reflects average blood sugar over recent months and eGFR and creatinine relate to kidney function.

We don't currently track a directly comparable longevity test from another provider, so we can't say how this stacks up on price or depth against a close rival. What we can say is that it covers a wide spread of body systems in a single sample rather than focusing on one area.

It scores well for clinical depth, given the breadth of markers it covers in one test, and for collection convenience, since it can be taken at home, via a venous sample, or with a home nurse visit, with results back in two days. Its value for money score is more cautious, simply because there's no comparable test yet to benchmark the £172 price against.

Who is it for?

This suits people who want a single, wide-ranging check-up across heart, metabolic, liver, kidney and nutrient markers to set a baseline and track changes over subsequent tests, rather than investigating one specific concern. Because we don't have a directly comparable longevity test to compare it with, it's worth deciding whether you need this breadth or whether a narrower, cheaper panel targeted at your specific concern, such as our cholesterol or thyroid tests, would answer your question more cheaply.

How it works

The test uses a blood sample, taken either as an at-home finger-prick or, for an extra £60, a nurse-taken venous draw. After the lab processes the 25 markers, a doctor reviews the results, with a turnaround of two days.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 25 biomarkers across heart, metabolic, liver, kidney and nutrient health in one test.
  • Includes ApoB and ApoA1, not just standard cholesterol, for a fuller cardiovascular picture.
  • Doctor-reviewed results within two days.
  • Can be taken at home, via venous draw, or with a home nurse visit.

Cons

  • No directly comparable longevity test in our catalogue to check the £172 price against.
  • The provider doesn't detail what the results report itself looks like.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score In-depth longevity panel with no direct rival yet
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

Covering 25 biomarkers across heart, metabolic, liver, kidney and nutrient health, this blood test is priced at £172. We don't yet have a directly comparable longevity test to weigh it against, so it's hard to say whether that price is competitive. Results are reviewed by a doctor within two days.

Score breakdown

  • Clarity and documentation 9.0/10

    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.

  • Clinical depth 10.0/10

    25 biomarkers, placing it in the 100th percentile of longevity tests we track.

  • Collection convenience 8.0/10

    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, slower than similar tests.

  • Results and follow-up 7.0/10

    Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.

  • Trust signals 10.0/10

    Trustpilot 4.6 from 3,195 reviews; accredited lab (UKAS ISO 15189 / ISO 17025 partner labs); CQC registered; doctor review as standard; trading 11+ years.

  • Value for money 6.0/10

    £172.00; no comparable tests to benchmark against yet.
