  • Cortisol

    Your main stress and energy hormone, produced by your adrenal glands. It follows a strong daily rhythm: highest in the morning (which is why we ask for a morning sample) and lowest at night. Affected by sleep, training, work stress and caffeine.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How accurate are at-home blood tests?

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.

When should I take my sample?

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.

Will I get a doctor's review?

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.

What if I'm on medication or have a condition?

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.

How do I activate my kit?

When your kit arrives, visit vitallcheck.co.uk/activate and enter your order number.

Shipping & replacement policy

Delivery: Free tracked delivery on every kit, both ways. Order before 1pm Monday to Friday for next-day delivery.
