What is the Nutrition & Digestive Health blood test?
Our private Nutrition & Digestive Health blood test offers a comprehensive look at key indicators of your wellbeing. You can book this test directly online without needing a GP referral, making it easy to take a proactive step towards understanding your health.
This specialised panel covers several important areas: a Full Blood Count for general health, markers for Nutritional Health including key vitamins and minerals, Heart Health indicators, Iron Status, markers relevant to Digestive Health, and Diabetes Health markers. It's important to remember that this test measures specific biological markers; a clinician will interpret these results to help you understand what they may indicate about your health.
Your sample will be taken by a trained phlebotomist at our clinic in Dartford, Kent. It’s then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for processing. Your results will be reviewed by a clinician and available in your secure MyScanHub portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this private blood test without a GP referral, and it's a one-off payment with no subscription.

Nutrition & Digestive Health — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Nutrition & Digestive Health?
Yes — we recommend fasting for 8–10 hours beforehand (water is fine), as recent food and drink can affect cholesterol and glucose readings.
How quickly will I get my results?
Most results are ready within 2–5 working days and are uploaded to your secure MyScanHub portal once reviewed by a clinician.
How is the blood sample taken?
A trained phlebotomist takes a small venous blood sample from your arm at our Kent clinic. It's quick and carried out in a private, comfortable setting.
What happens if a result is outside the normal range?
Any result outside the usual reference range is clearly highlighted in your report. A blood test doesn't diagnose on its own, so we recommend discussing flagged results with a clinician — you can add a GP consultation to talk them through.
Do I need a GP referral to book?
No. You can book this blood test directly online — no GP referral is required. It's a one-off payment with no subscription.
