What is the Nutrition Check blood test?
Our private Nutrition Check blood test offers a comprehensive look at key health markers, helping you understand your body’s nutritional status. This test is ideal for individuals seeking a proactive approach to their wellbeing, whether you're feeling generally unwell, experiencing low energy, or simply want a detailed health overview without needing to see your GP first.
This extensive panel measures markers across several key areas, including your Full Blood Count for general health and immunity, vital vitamins and minerals for nutritional health, cholesterol and lipid markers for heart health, iron status, thyroid function, liver function, digestive health, diabetes markers, and pancreatic enzymes. It's important to remember that this test measures specific markers; a clinician will interpret these findings to provide you with a personalised understanding of your health.
Your blood sample will be taken by a trained phlebotomist at our modern clinic in Dartford, Kent. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for processing. You'll receive your results, reviewed by a clinician, in your secure online MyScanHub portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this private blood test directly online with a simple one-off payment, and no GP referral is required.

Nutrition Check — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Nutrition Check?
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.
