How we take your blood and what happens after that
Forth will provide a full testing kit, which you will need to bring with you. Taking blood is generally straightforward. You are advised to attend adequately hydrated and having eaten. Whilst your test kit is being prepared to be returned via 24hr tracked post, you will have the opportunity to rest. Once ready, you will be able to go about your day as normal. Test results are analysed and your report will be ready within 2 working days. Your report can be provided as a Pdf that can be taken to your GP if anything is flagged as unusual and requiring further investigation.
Full blood screen and Vitamin deficiencies
There are a range of tests and the most popular is a full blood screen. B12 and Vitamin D deficiencies are extremely common and produce a range of symptoms, the most common being fatigue. These can be easily remedied via supplementation. Another test after a 3 month period then checks that levels are optimum. Cholesterol levels are also often of interest and can be greatly improved with dietary changes and supplementation. [NB if your levels are very high and there are additional risk factors, you will be advised to visit your GP]
