Hi

Can anyone advise what is the best vits minerals test....which is most comprehensive and cheap? Oh also full iron panel. To be done at home.

I don't know how anyone affords tests so regularly :-(

thank you

When you say you want a test which can be done at home, what exactly do you mean? A finger prick test which is sent off in the post? I think that might be a tall order for all the things that you ask for, but I could be wrong.

If you live near a Spire Hospital, you can get this test done, and phlebotomy is included in the price. Also there is no need to send the blood off - it just gets left with Spire :

Look at the right hand column - the Comprehensive Plus V blood test. To minimise the cost, you must order via the web site, not by phone. You should also use the August coupon code (see the top of page banner). Also, if you register, you get an additional 5% off.

It covers cholesterol, kidney & liver function tests, a full blood count, very basic thyroid tests, full iron panel, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and folate.

Hi Human

I was refering to the finger prick test which i have done before. That test looks good value. it's just getting to one of those. I'll have a think - it just means a fair journey and I am not up to it really.

Thanks v much for all the info
