An at-home finger-prick test measuring vitamin D levels. Suited to a quick standalone check for people concerned about deficiency.
1 biomarker as listed by YorkTest.
The Vitamin D Test measures a single marker, vitamin D, from an at-home finger-prick sample. Vitamin D is commonly checked because deficiency is relatively common and can affect several aspects of general health.
Within its vitamin D test comparison group, its £41 price sits 16% below the £49 group median, cheaper than five of the eight named peers, including Randox Health's Vitamin D Quickdraw Test (£46), Medichecks' Driver's Mini Blood Test (£49), London Medical Laboratory's Vitamin D test (£49), Forth's Vitamin D Home Blood Test Kit (£50) and Blue Horizon Medicals' Vitamin D (25 OH) test (£53.25). Two peers are cheaper: Monitor My Health's Vitamin D test at £38 and Medichecks' standard Vitamin D (25 OH) Blood Test at £39, and MyHealthChecked's Vitamin D Rapid Test at £8, which appears to use a different, faster testing method.
It scores well for Value for money and for Trust signals, reflecting YorkTest's Trustpilot rating of 4.8 from 3,257 reviews, its UKAS-accredited lab, and 44 years of trading. As a single-marker test, its Clinical depth score reflects that depth isn't the point of this comparison group. It scores lower for Results and follow-up because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits people who want a quick, standalone vitamin D check without paying for a wider panel, at a price below most named peers. If price is the only factor, Monitor My Health's Vitamin D test at £38 or Medichecks' Vitamin D (25 OH) Blood Test at £39 are slightly cheaper, and MyHealthChecked's Vitamin D Rapid Test at £8 is cheaper still, though it appears to use a different, faster method. It is not the right choice if you want a doctor to review your results as standard.
You take an at-home finger-prick blood sample; no clinic visit is needed. The sample is returned to YorkTest's laboratory for vitamin D analysis, and results are provided as a traffic-light value, delivered within a stated 7 days. Doctor review is not included as standard.
Priced 16% below the £49 median for its comparison group, YorkTest's Vitamin D Test costs £41 for a single marker, vitamin D. Two named peers are cheaper, MyHealthChecked at £8 and Monitor My Health at £38. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
