Premium Nutrition and Hormones blood test in Chiswick

What the test measures

This screen looks in depth at the nutrients and hormones that shape energy, metabolism and long-term health. Nutrition markers go beyond standard vitamin D and B12 to include active B12, red cell folate, magnesium, zinc, copper and a full iron profile. The hormone section covers FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, SHBG and DHEA-S, along with a thyroid profile with antibodies and parathyroid hormone.

Heart and metabolic risk is explored with apolipoproteins, lipoprotein (a), small LDL, homocysteine, insulin, C-peptide and HOMA-IR, with a FIB-4 liver fibrosis score. Kidney markers include cystatin C and a urine albumin check, while immune markers, pancreatic enzymes, a full blood count and urinalysis complete the picture. The male version has fewer markers, and the page lists exactly what each version includes.

Your price includes the sample taken at our Chiswick clinic, analysis at the Randox accredited laboratory, a practitioner review of your result and a GP feedback report on request.

Who it is for

• You want the fullest nutrition and hormone picture we offer in one appointment.
• You have ongoing symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, irregular cycles or weight change.
• You are perimenopausal, or a man in midlife, and want hormones read alongside metabolism.
• You follow a restricted diet or have absorption concerns and want detailed mineral levels.
• You have a family history of heart disease and want markers beyond a standard cholesterol test.

Understanding your result

With this many markers, the value is in the patterns. Your practitioner may connect, for example, insulin and HOMA-IR with triglycerides and liver enzymes, or a high SHBG with low free androgen index. Each value is shown against the laboratory reference range, and hormone ranges depend on your sex, age and, for women, cycle phase.

Several results just outside the range are normal in a large panel and do not necessarily mean anything is wrong. Treat flagged results as a prompt for discussion, not a diagnosis, and your practitioner will suggest whether to recheck or speak to your GP.

Preparing for your test

Fast for 8 to 10 hours with water only and book a morning appointment, ideally before 10am, as insulin, glucose and triglycerides need fasting and testosterone peaks in the morning. If you have a regular cycle, booking on day 2 to 5 is usual for FSH, LH and oestradiol; we will confirm the best timing for your goals when you book. Pause biotin for at least two days if it is safe to do so, and bring a midstream urine sample.

If hormones are your main focus, our menopause and hormone tests are more targeted. For nutrition alone, see nutritional and digestive health testing, or browse every blood test and price in Chiswick.

Questions

How much is the Premium Nutrition and Hormones screen in Chiswick?

It costs £595. This includes your blood and urine samples at our Chiswick clinic, analysis at the Randox accredited laboratory, a full practitioner review and a GP feedback report on request.

Do I need to fast?

Yes. Please fast for 8 to 10 hours with water only, and come in the morning so that insulin, glucose and testosterone can be read accurately.

When in my cycle should I book?

For most women with regular cycles, day 2 to 5 is used. If you would like progesterone to confirm ovulation, a later day may suit better, and we will advise when you book.

Can I take this if I use hormonal contraception or HRT?

Yes, but these affect hormone results. Tell your practitioner what you take so your results can be read correctly.
