Stop guessing what you might be missing
Low vitamin and mineral levels are one of the most common and most fixable reasons to feel tired, foggy or low. This test checks the ones that matter most, including vitamin D, B12, folate and a full iron picture, so you know whether a supplement or a change in diet is actually worth it.
Answers before supplements
Rather than guessing which supplement to take, you see exactly where your levels sit and where a top-up would actually help.
A report you can read
Your results come with reference ranges and plain-English notes, with anything out of range flagged so it is easy to spot.

Worth checking if you recognise these
This test is a sensible step if you have symptoms that a deficiency can cause, or you just want a baseline.
Persistent tiredness or low mood can have many causes and should be reviewed by a doctor. This test helps find a cause; it does not replace medical assessment.

Difficult veins? We find them with ultrasound
If you have fragile or hard-to-find veins and have had failed attempts before, our consultant radiologists can take the sample under real-time ultrasound. It is the only such service in South Wales, and patients travel to us from across Wales and the West for it.
Nobody had managed to take my blood in years without several attempts. Here it was done first time with the ultrasound. Such a relief.

Important: Blood test results are most useful when reviewed by a doctor who knows your history. We recommend discussing your results with your own GP, or booking a private GP appointment with us, before acting on any findings or starting supplements. Persistent symptoms can have many causes, and this test does not replace a medical assessment. Lab values alone do not constitute medical advice.
