6 biomarkers across 4 health systems
Tap any group to see exactly what we measure and why it matters.
-
HbA1c (%)
Your average blood sugar level over the past 8-12 weeks, expressed as a percentage. Often called your "glucose memory" because, unlike a single glucose reading, it can't be gamed by a recent meal or fast.
-
HbA1c (mmol/mol)
The same measurement in mmol/mol, the unit the NHS and UK clinicians use. We show both so you can compare to NHS or older test results easily.
-
Ferritin
Your body's stored iron, the long-term iron savings account. Low ferritin is the earliest sign of iron deficiency, often appearing before iron itself drops or anaemia develops. Common in women with heavy periods, athletes, and people on plant-based diets.
-
Vitamin D
The vitamin your body makes from sunlight and gets from food. Affects bones, muscles, mood, and immune function. UK adults often run low in winter months.
-
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
A marker your liver releases when there's inflammation anywhere in the body. High CRP can reflect short-term inflammation (a recent illness, intense training, an injury) or longer-term, low-grade inflammation linked to lifestyle, sleep and stress.
-
Testosterone (Total)
The principal male sex hormone, also important in women at lower levels. Influences muscle mass, libido, mood, energy and bone density. Levels naturally peak in the morning, which is why we ask for a morning sample.

Frequently asked
Capillary (finger-prick) samples are highly reliable when collected correctly. Our partner laboratories are UKAS-accredited and process samples to the same clinical standards used by the NHS and private clinics. For panels needing a larger sample, a clinic draw is recommended at the cart stage.
Morning, before 10am, after an 8-hour fast (water is fine). Avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours and pause biotin supplements for 2 days. Post the sample back the same day, Monday to Thursday.
Vitall Check provides AI-powered plain-English summaries and a personalised lifestyle action plan, not clinical diagnoses. If results sit outside the reference range, we provide a ready-to-use guide for your next GP appointment.
Many medications and conditions can influence biomarker results. We recommend discussing your medical history with your GP, who will interpret your results in the full clinical context.
