Our tests come in the form of a sample collection kit to be delivered to your home so that you can collect and return your sample to us for analysis. All of our kits are designed to fit through your letterbox so there is no need to wait in for your delivery.

Expected delivery time is 3-5 working days.

This test in isolation cannot be relied upon as a diagnostic test. 

Prepare for your test by following these instructions.

Take your sample between 6am and 10am. If you have an unusual sleep pattern (eg shift worker) then take this test within 2 hours of waking. Avoid heavy exercise for 48 hours beforehand. Do not eat or drink anything other than water for 12 hours prior to your test. If you take medication then you are allowed to take it as you would normally. Stay well hydrated before your test. Corticosteroid medication can affect this test, ask your doctor whether to stop before testing. Take your sample at least 24 hours after any vitamin or mineral supplements. Take your blood test before you take any omega 3 supplements. Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test, discuss this with your doctor if it is prescribed. Do not take vitamin B12 for two weeks prior to this test. If your B12 is prescribed ask your doctor whether to stop. Hormonal contraception can affect the results of this test. Taking a break from this and waiting for your periods to restart before your blood test will give more accurate results.
