About this test

This test measures 6 biomarkers: vitamin D, testosterone, folate (vitamin B9), HbA1c, and the omega-3 index and omega-6:omega-3 ratio. The provider frames these as factors that can be linked to sleep quality; for example, low vitamin D and folate are associated with poorer sleep in some research, and low testosterone can affect sleep duration. None of these markers measure sleep directly.

The provider does not publish a comparison group for this test. Against the wider set of energy and fatigue tests we track, its 6 markers sit at the 38th percentile for depth, below average for the category. Its £191 price is markedly higher than the £102 median for similarly sized panels, about 87% above, one of the largest gaps in this dataset.

Its value for money score is low as a result. Clinical depth and results and follow-up scores are also on the lower side: the marker count is below average for its category, and the 10-day turnaround is longer than many blood tests, even though a doctor still reviews your results. Collection convenience remains reasonably strong, with at-home and nurse-visit options.

Who is it for?

This may suit someone specifically curious about the vitamin D, testosterone, folate and omega-3 markers included here, packaged with sleep-related guidance. Given the price sits well above similar-sized energy and fatigue tests we track, it is worth checking whether Thriva's individual vitamins, testosterone or omega-3 tests would cover what you need for less, or whether a doctor should look into ongoing sleep problems directly.

How it works

You take this test at home with a finger-prick sample, or add a nurse-taken venous draw for £60. Results take around 10 working days, and a doctor reviews them before you see your report.
