Cholesterol Test
Can indicate your risk of developing cardiovascular problems
High cholesterol levels can cause your arteries to become blocked, which can lead to coronary heart disease causing a heart attack or a stroke.
Knowing if you have high levels of cholesterol means you can choose to make positive lifestyle and dietary changes, improving your clinical outcomes.
This self-test checks your cholesterol levels (the different types of cholesterol that are
in your blood) and lets you know your risk of developing cardiovascular problems.
If you have high levels of cholesterol your arteries can become blocked and this can lead to coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke.
Now you can know if you have high levels of cholesterol and an estimated risk of developing heart disease. This can help you make positive choices about your diet and lifestyle, to improve your chances of a long and healthy life
Analysis of the 5 essential biomarkers -
Cholesterol
Total triglycerides
HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)
LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)
HDL % of Total Cholesterol
A kit containing everything you need is sent to an address of your choice.
You can then take a simple finger prick sample into the tube provided, register it on-line and post it off to the laboratory using the Royal Mail 1st Class Tracked envelope that is included with your kit.
Your full report, showing your results and how they compare with normal ranges, are reported back to you by email. You will receive your result the day after the lab receives your sample.
All test results are reviewed by in-house GPs who highlight any areas of concern of that might need further investigation and follow up with a doctor.

This test is if you would like to know if you have high levels of cholesterol and an estimated risk of developing heart disease by looking a the amount of fat in your blood.
It detects the good type of cholesterol (HDL) and the bad type (LDL) and together these make up your total cholesterol level.
You can only find out your cholesterol level from taking a blood test .
Cholesterol is very similar to fat, but is a chemical made in your liver from the food that you eat. That is why some foods are much worse for your cholesterol levels than others.
Cholesterol is important because it helps our cells function properly and used to produce hormones for growth, development, and
reproduction. But when your cholesterol level goes outside of the normal range, you can have an increased risk of getting certain health conditions including cardiovascular disease.
Triglyceride is a type of fat stored in your body’s tissue. It comes from foods like butter and oil. Triglyceride tests are used to investigate the lipid profile when
estimating your risk of developing heart disease.
There are two types of Cholesterol.
Good - HDL (high-density lipoprotien). This is the good, because it's main function is remove the bad LDL cholesterol from your heart's arteries and blood vessels, therefore reducing your risk of heart disease. It does this by absorbing it and taking it back to your liver which then flushed is out of your body.
Bad - LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is the type that causes cholesrerol build-up which can eventually block your arteries. This increases your risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke.
Bad - Non-HDL is the total number of all the 'bad' types of choleseterol but simply subtracting the number of HDL ('good') from your total cholesterol number. Again, the higher the number of non-HDL, the higher the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Your ideal cholesterol levels should be:
Your Total cholesterol level = 5 or below
HDL (good) = 1 or above
LDL (bad) = 3 or below
Non HDL = 4 or below
Your ideal Triglyceride levels (a fatty substance like bad cholesterol) should be:
Triglyceride levels = 2.3 or below
