A full body blood test should check every major organ system in a single blood draw. The TrueVitals Ultimate panel tests 140 biomarkers across blood health, liver, kidneys, thyroid, hormones, cardiovascular, metabolic, iron, vitamins, inflammation, immune function, cancer markers, and urinalysis. Professional venous draw at 103+ UK clinics. Results within 4 working days. From £319.
Every blood test provider in the UK claims to offer comprehensive testing. But the difference between 15 biomarkers and 140 biomarkers is the difference between a quick glance and a genuine full body assessment. If major systems are missing, it is not a full body test. It is a partial check marketed as comprehensive.
A standard NHS GP blood test checks 5 to 15 biomarkers. That typically covers a full blood count, basic kidney or liver function, and TSH if specifically requested. It does not include hormones, advanced cardiovascular markers, insulin resistance, cancer markers, immune function, vitamin levels, or urinalysis. If everything falls within the lab reference range, you are told you are fine.
But the lab reference range is based on 95% of the general population, including people who are unwell, overweight, and sedentary. "Normal" does not mean optimal. Many conditions including iron depletion, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and vitamin D deficiency are routinely missed because the result is technically within range.
The TrueVitals Ultimate panel tests 140 biomarkers across 16 body systems. Every major organ and function checked in a single venous blood draw.
Full blood count, red cell indices, white cell differential, platelets, reticulocytes
ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, albumin, total protein, globulin
Creatinine, eGFR, urea, cystatin C, uric acid, electrolytes
TSH, Free T4, Free T3, anti-TPO, anti-thyroglobulin antibodies
Testosterone, SHBG, FAI, oestradiol, progesterone, LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol, DHEA-S
Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, ApoB, Apo A-1, lipoprotein(a)
Fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, C-peptide, leptin
Serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, transferrin saturation, TIBC
Vitamin D, B12, active B12, folate, magnesium, calcium, phosphate
hs-CRP, ESR, ferritin as acute phase reactant
Immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, complement C3 and C4
CEA, CA 19-9, PSA and PSA ratio (men) or CA-125 and CA 15-3 (women)
Anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibodies
Full dipstick, microscopy, culture and sensitivities
Calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, ALP
Creatine kinase, LDH, myoglobin
If any of these categories are missing from a "full body" blood test, it is not checking everything.
Not all comprehensive tests are equal. Here is how the main UK providers stack up when you compare what they actually test, how they collect the sample, and what you receive back.
| Provider | Biomarkers | Collection | Report | Turnaround | Price | Per Marker |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TrueVitals Ultimate | 140 | Professional venous draw | Written, cross-analysed, clinician-reviewed report + dashboard | 4 working days | £399 incl. clinic draw | £2.85 |
| Lola Health Peak Insights 70 | 70 | Venous, phlebotomist at home or clinic | Results with doctor's written review | 4 working days | £200 + £35 draw | £3.36 |
| Medichecks Optimal | 58-59 | Finger-prick default, venous +£25-59 | Doctor commentary | 3-5 days | £249 + venous add-on | £4.29 |
| Thriva | ~50 | Tasso+ shoulder device | Dashboard with explanations | 2-15 days | From £30/month | ~£3.76 |
| Randox Health | ~150 | Venous at own clinics | Clinical report + GP consultation | Varies | £600+ | ~£4.00 |
| NHS GP | 5-15 | Venous at GP surgery | Numbers only | 1-3 weeks | Free (2-3 week wait) | N/A |
TrueVitals tests twice as many biomarkers as the next closest affordable competitor at the lowest price per biomarker of any comprehensive provider. Randox tests more markers but starts at around £200 more and is limited to their own clinic locations. The NHS is free but checks a fraction of what a private test covers and takes weeks to return results with no personalised reporting.
Testing 140 biomarkers is meaningless if you receive a spreadsheet of numbers with reference ranges. The value of a full body blood test is not in the data. It is in the interpretation.
Every TrueVitals test includes a personalised, clinician-reviewed health report that connects your specific results to your specific symptoms, diet, training, sleep, and health goals. It identifies cross-system patterns that isolated analysis misses. It tells you exactly what supplements to take, at what dose, in what form, and why. It tells you what to discuss with your GP and when to retest.
One of our customers, Nadia, was told by her GP twice that her blood tests were normal. Our Ultimate panel found six interconnected issues explaining her fatigue, headaches, and mood changes: functionally depleted ferritin, low Free T3, elevated cortisol, low progesterone, deficient vitamin D, and borderline magnesium. Her GP had tested five markers. We tested 140.
✓ Executive summary connecting symptoms to biomarkers
✓ Colour-coded range bars (normal vs optimal)
✓ Key health flags with clinical context
✓ Targeted supplement recommendations (forms, doses, timing)
✓ Personalised lifestyle recommendations
✓ Clinical follow-up guidance and retest timelines
✓ Interactive dashboard + downloadable PDF
✓ Clinician review before release
The Ultimate (140 biomarkers, £399) covers every major system. Take the quiz if you are not sure which panel suits you.
Clinic visit at one of 103+ UK locations (draw included) or at-home mobile phlebotomy (£29). Evenings and weekends available.
A trained phlebotomist draws your sample using venous collection. Takes about 10 minutes. The clinical gold standard.
Personalised, clinician-reviewed report and interactive dashboard delivered within 4 working days. No subscription required.
Fasting from 10pm the night before is recommended for the most accurate glucose and insulin readings. Water and black coffee are fine. No GP referral needed. Klarna available at checkout.
Fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, poor sleep, unexplained weight gain, hair thinning, low libido, digestive discomfort, or joint pain. These are often driven by biomarker imbalances that standard GP testing misses.
Even without symptoms, an annual comprehensive blood test establishes a baseline, identifies trends before they become problems, and catches conditions like insulin resistance, vitamin deficiency, and elevated cardiovascular risk markers early.
Overtraining, under-fuelling, and hormonal disruption from intense exercise show up in ferritin, cortisol, testosterone, Free T3, creatine kinase, and inflammatory markers. A standard test catches none of these.
PCOS, perimenopause, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities, and HRT or TRT monitoring all require comprehensive hormone panels with context markers that GPs rarely test in full.
If heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or cancer run in your family, proactive testing of ApoB, lipoprotein(a), HOMA-IR, thyroid antibodies, and tumour markers gives you data your GP will not provide without symptoms.
If your GP tested five markers and told you everything is fine but you still feel unwell, a comprehensive panel testing 140 markers will either confirm that assessment or reveal what was missed.
A full body blood test checks every major organ system and body function in a single blood draw. A genuinely comprehensive test should cover blood health, liver, kidneys, thyroid with Free T3 and antibodies, full hormones, advanced cardiovascular markers including ApoB and lipoprotein(a), metabolic health including fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, iron studies, vitamins, inflammation, immune function, cancer markers, coeliac screening, and urinalysis. If major categories are missing, it is not a full body test.
For a genuinely comprehensive assessment, 80 to 140 biomarkers covers every major system. Tests with 40 to 60 biomarkers cover the basics well but miss hormones, cancer markers, immune function, insulin resistance, and advanced cardiovascular markers. The TrueVitals Ultimate panel tests 140 biomarkers, the most available direct-to-consumer in the UK under £400.
TrueVitals' Ultimate panel is £399 for 140 biomarkers including clinic collection, or £29 extra at home. That works out to £2.85 per biomarker with a clinic draw, the lowest of any comprehensive UK provider. Medichecks charges £249 for 58-59 biomarkers (£4.29 per marker). Randox starts at £600+ for approximately 150 biomarkers. Klarna is available at checkout.
The NHS does not offer comprehensive full body blood testing as a routine service. GP blood tests typically cover 5 to 15 biomarkers when specifically requested and focus on diagnosing specific conditions rather than comprehensive screening. They do not include hormones, advanced lipids, insulin resistance, cancer markers, immune function, or detailed vitamin and mineral panels as standard.
No. Every TrueVitals test uses professional venous blood draw by a trained phlebotomist at one of 103+ UK clinics or at your home. Venous draw is significantly more accurate than finger-prick or shoulder-device collection and is the only method suitable for testing 140 biomarkers reliably.
TrueVitals delivers results within 4 working days of your blood draw. You receive a personalised, clinician-reviewed health report as a downloadable PDF and access to an interactive online dashboard. NHS GP results typically take 1 to 3 weeks with no personalised reporting.
Fasting is recommended but not essential. For the most accurate metabolic markers including glucose, insulin, and triglycerides, fast from 10pm the night before and book a morning appointment. Water and black coffee are fine during the fast.
Yes. Your results come from a UKAS-accredited laboratory and are clinically valid. The report includes a downloadable PDF that can be shared with your GP, consultant, or any other healthcare professional. Many GPs appreciate patients bringing comprehensive private blood work as it saves NHS resources and provides data they would not otherwise have.
