Complete Metabolic & Nutritional Profile

The Complete Metabolic & Nutritional Profile is our most in-depth screen - combining a comprehensive blood analysis with a full urinary organic acids workup. From a simple blood and urine sample collected at home, it examines over 200 biomarkers spanning metabolic, cardiovascular, thyroid, hormonal, nutritional and detoxification health, giving you and your practitioner an unusually complete view of how your body is functioning.
Who it's for Anyone wanting the fullest possible understanding of their health — whether you're investigating persistent fatigue, brain fog or digestive issues, optimising performance and longevity, or building a precise, personalised foundation for nutritional and lifestyle change.

Please note this test requires a venous blood collection and centrifuge. An additional cost of ~£40 GBP is payable directly to the service. Contact Bloodservices@mail.com for options in your location. Please only book Monday (ensuring the weather temperature for the week does not exceed 22°C on any day) and bring your prepaid packaging to post the sample directly after.
What's included
High levels of Lp(a) increase your risk of atherosclerosis and is an inherited genetic condition. The apo B/apo A-I ratio indicates the cholesterol balance between potentially atherogenic (bad) and anti-atherogenic (good) particles.
Your lipid subfraction profile looks beyond total cholesterol to assess the size and density of LDL particles, offering a clearer view of cardiovascular risk. Larger, more buoyant LDL particles (LDL-1 and LDL-2) are generally protective, while smaller, denser particles (LDL-3 to LDL-7) are more likely to penetrate artery walls and promote plaque formation. By analysing the balance between these subfractions and your mean LDL particle size, this test provides a precise indication of how your cholesterol behaves — revealing whether your lipid profile supports heart health or signals a higher risk of atherosclerosis.
Blood glucose is generated from carbohydrates and to use this fuel for energy your body needs insulin. With type 2 diabetes the cells either ignore the insulin or the body doesn't produce enough of it. Glucose then builds up leading to problems with the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels.
Your kidneys filter waste from your body and regulate salts in your blood. They also produce hormones and vitamins that direct cell activities in many organs and help to control blood pressure. When the kidneys aren't working properly, waste products and fluid can build up to dangerous levels creating a life-threatening situation.
Your liver processes drugs and alcohol, filters toxic chemicals, stores vitamins and minerals, and makes bile, proteins and enzymes. This liver function test examines enzymes and other markers for evidence of damage to your liver cells or a blockage near your liver which can impair its function.
The balance of fats in your diet directly influences inflammation, brain health, hormones, and cardiovascular function. This section measures omega-3, omega-6, monounsaturated, saturated and trans fats, along with key ratios like the AA/EPA inflammatory index. These insights reflect dietary fat quality, absorption efficiency, and the body’s overall inflammatory environment — empowering targeted nutritional interventions for long-term wellbeing.
Amino acids are the building blocks of tissues, neurotransmitters, hormones, and detoxification compounds. This section examines both essential and functional amino acids to determine whether your protein intake is meeting your metabolic demands. Low or imbalanced amino acids can influence mood, immunity, muscle recovery, and energy resilience. This assessment shows exactly where your diet or digestion may be limiting crucial protein-derived nutrients.
This area looks at chemicals produced by the trillions of microbes living in your gut, giving a rough read on which microbial groups are more or less active than usual. It won't tell you exactly which species are present, but it can flag patterns worth a closer look with your clinician.
Your cells turn food into energy through a series of chemical steps inside the mitochondria, and this area measures the by-products of those steps to see how smoothly the process is running. Isolated findings here are common and often shift with diet or recent activity - the pattern across markers matters more than any single result.
After your body uses brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline, it breaks them down into smaller by-products that pass out in urine, which this area measures as an indirect read on messenger activity. These markers are influenced by diet, sleep, stress, caffeine and medications, so a single reading is rarely diagnostic on its own. This area also calculates key ratios between these markers, which can reveal whether inflammation is diverting resources away from brain chemical production.
This area looks at how well your body is handling everyday cellular wear-and-tear and clearing the substances your liver needs to process - medications, hormones, alcohol, and the by-products of your own metabolism. Temporary elevations are common after intense exercise, illness, or high alcohol intake, and are usually not concerning in isolation. It also includes a direct inflammation marker and an antioxidant status marker, giving a broader picture of your body’s inflammatory and protective balance.
This area combines two different views of your nutrient status: "functional" markers that rise when your body is working harder to use a vitamin, and direct measurements of vitamins passing through in urine. Together they give a rough indication of which nutrients may be in higher demand, though a blood test is still the gold standard for confirming any specific deficiency.
This area screens for chemical traces that your body leaves behind after processing common environmental substances - solvents found in paints, fuels, and adhesives; plasticisers in food packaging and plastic products; preservatives in cosmetics and personal care products; and compounds from vehicle exhaust and cigarette smoke. A raised reading doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being harmed - it’s a prompt to think about where the exposure might be coming from and whether it can be reduced.
