Your Future Health Test
Heart disease, strokes, diabetes, deep vein thrombosis, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression, problem pregnancies – the list goes on. Your Homocysteine level is linked to more than 100 serious medical conditions.
 
In fact, research shows that raised levels of Homocysteine put you at far greater risk of disease than raised blood pressure, weight or high cholesterol.

How does the Homocysteine Test work?
The Homocysteine Test is a 100% home test that gives hospital standard results from the comfort of your own home. It’s an easy to use finger prick home blood test and within 14 days you can find out if you’re at risk and, with your GP, take action to lower your levels, quickly and easily with diet changes and vitamin supplements.

Your home test kit will include a finger prick lancet - taking your blood sample is easy and virtually painless. The kit also includes a simple plasma separator which is easy to use and full instructions are included. Just place three large drops of blood onto the separator where indicated, allow to soak through and when the blue dot appears wait five minutes and then slowly peel off the top Plasma separator.

The kit gives you detailed instructions on how to take the test – but if you want help taking the test call us and we’ll talk you through what to do. We send you a simple form with a free pen to complete it and there’s a box to keep your sample safe in the post along with a pre-paid return envelope so there is no postage to pay.

Who buys the Homocysteine test?
Customers who are concerned about their  health and need to know if corrective action needs to be implemented.
