Frequently Asked Questions
What is TrueVitals?▶
TrueVitals is a private health testing service that uses advanced blood analysis to help you understand and optimise your health. We go beyond NHS reference ranges to focus on what's optimal, not just what's “normal.”
How does the process work?▶
1. Choose a test panel based on your goals.
2. Visit one of our partner clinics or arrange an at-home blood draw.
3. Get your digital results with clear insights within a few days.
4. Track changes over time to improve your health proactively.
Are the blood tests accurate?▶
Yes. All tests are analysed in UKAS-accredited laboratories using clinical-grade equipment. Our lab partners serve private clinics, specialists, and NHS trusts.
How long do results take?▶
Most results are delivered within 2–3 working days from the time your sample reaches the lab. Some advanced markers may take slightly longer.
Will a doctor review my results?▶
All results are reviewed by medical professionals. We also provide plain-English explanations so you can take control of your own health data.
Can I use TrueVitals instead of going to the GP?▶
We’re not a replacement for your GP. TrueVitals gives you deeper, proactive insight into your health—ideal for prevention, performance, and longevity. If any red flags appear, we’ll advise you to follow up with your doctor.
What’s the difference between TrueVitals and the NHS?▶
NHS tests are often limited to what’s clinically urgent. We test for a much broader panel of biomarkers, with a focus on optimal function, not just disease thresholds.
Can I track my results over time?▶
Yes. You can retest periodically and track trends across key health categories like hormones, inflammation, energy markers, and nutrient status.
Do I need to fast before my test?▶
For certain panels (e.g., lipid profile or glucose regulation), we recommend fasting for 8–10 hours beforehand. Specific guidance will be provided when you book.
Can I get tested if I’m on medication?▶
Yes, but some medications may influence results. You’ll be asked about this before testing, and your report will flag any relevant considerations.
Is this service suitable for athletes or biohackers?▶
Absolutely. Our advanced panels are designed for anyone serious about performance, recovery, hormonal balance, and longevity.
Do you share my results with anyone?▶
No. Your data is private, encrypted, and only accessible by you and our medical reviewers. We do not share or sell your health data.
