Product Description

Take control of your long-term health and well-being with our best-selling, most comprehensive female health check. Whether you are currently tackling frustrating symptoms like chronic fatigue, unexpected weight shifts, and mood changes, or you simply want to be proactive about your wellness, this advanced test delivers total clarity.

Many common health issues in women can easily be mistaken for something else. For instance, thyroid conditions, iron deficiency, and vitamin imbalances frequently mimic the early signs of menopause. The Advanced Well Woman & Hormone Enhanced Blood Test screen uncovers exactly what is happening beneath the surface by analysing 47 key biomarkers. Alongside your results, our specialist medical team provide bespoke doctor's comments and tailored lifestyle advice, empowering you to make small, impactful changes to feel like yourself again.

Key Core Benefits

- Map critical female fertility hormones

- Identify hidden energy-draining deficiencies

- Assess vital internal organ function

- Evaluate heart and diabetes risks

- Fast three-day clinical doctor report

What You Can Learn From This Test

This advanced profile explores almost every aspect of your internal biochemistry, flagging preventable illnesses and highlighting areas for health optimisation:

🔄 Female Hormones & Menopause Insight

This test checks key female reproductive hormones, including Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone (LH), and Oestradiol. While this profile cannot standalone diagnose menopause, mapping these levels is a brilliant tool to support a diagnosis when there is clinical uncertainty or when symptoms develop earlier than expected.

🦋 Advanced Thyroid & Energy Suite

Women are statistically more prone to thyroid disorders and nutrient deficiencies than men. By assessing full thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, and Free T4) alongside absolute iron reserves (Ferritin) and vital vitamins, this test pinpoints the exact biological blockers draining your daily energy and motivation.

🫀 Cardiovascular Health & Diabetes Risk

Our panel screens your baseline risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes by measuring your long-term blood sugar levels (HbA1c) over the past 2 to 3 months, alongside a complete 6-marker cholesterol lipid breakdown and high-sensitivity inflammation tracking (hs-CRP).

The 47 Biomarkers Analysed

Our laboratory panel leaves nothing to chance, dividing your data into easily digestible health categories:

Category	Inclusions & Descriptions
Hormones & Fertility	Oestradiol, FSH, LH: Essential regulators of your menstrual cycle, reproductive health, and fertility.
Thyroid Profile	TSH, Free T3, Free Thyroxine (Free T4): Directly controls your cellular metabolism and energy production.
Vitamins & Minerals	Vitamin D, Active Vitamin B12, Serum Folate, Serum Magnesium: Supports bone density, nerve function, DNA production, and immune strength.
Iron Status	Iron, Ferritin, TIBC, Transferrin Saturation: Checks circulating blood iron and cellular stores to identify or rule out anaemia.
Diabetes & Gout	HbA1c, Uric Acid: Monitors long-term blood glucose control and screens for joint-crystallisation gout risks.
Cardiovascular Risk	Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Non-HDL, Total/HDL Ratio, Triglycerides, hs-CRP: Full lipid breakdown and high-sensitivity systemic inflammation screening.
Liver Safety	ALT, GGT, ALP, Bilirubin: Screens for liver cell damage, inflammation, or obstructed bile ducts.
Kidney Filtration	Urea, Creatinine, eGFR: Measures how effectively your kidneys filter metabolic waste from your blood.
Blood & Immune (FBC)	Full Blood Count (15 Markers including Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, White Cells, Platelets): Essential screen for oxygen transport, clotting dynamics, and active infection defense.

📋 Essential Pre-Test Instructions

To ensure your laboratory analysis is perfectly accurate and unaffected by external variables, please strictly follow these preparation instructions:

Timing & Physical Activity

- Morning Blood Draw: You must collect your sample early in the morning between 6am and 10am.
- Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Do not engage in heavy physical exercise for 48 hours prior to your blood test, as intense workouts can alter your baseline organ and muscle metrics.
- Illness Recovery: Wait to take this test until any symptoms of a short-term or acute illness have completely settled.

Menstrual Cycle & Contraception

Fertility & Cycle Tracking: If you are taking this test to learn more about your fertility, schedule your blood draw between days 2 and 5 of your menstrual cycle (ideally on day 3). If you do not experience periods or are postmenopausal, you can take the test at any time.
Log Your Dates: It is vital to log the date of your last period and your menopausal status in your portal account immediately after testing. Unlogged samples will automatically be interpreted by our doctors as a day 3 baseline draw.
Contraception Note: Hormonal contraceptives alter natural baseline hormone metrics. For the most accurate reflection of your natural baseline, it is recommended to take a break from hormonal contraception and wait for your regular periods to restart before testing.

Nutrition, Fasting, & Supplements

Dietary Adjustments: Avoid consuming fatty foods for eight hours before your test. Full fasting is not required, but keep pre-test meals lean. Ensure you stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of plain water.
Vitamin B12 Restriction: Do not take Vitamin B12 supplements for two weeks prior to this test. If your B12 is medically prescribed, consult your doctor before making any adjustments.
Biotin Supplements: Do not take biotin supplements for two days before your draw. If prescribed, discuss this with your doctor first.
General Supplements: Ensure a gap of at least 24 hours between your last standard vitamin or mineral supplement dose and your sample collection.
Thyroid Medications: If you take standard thyroxine, you can take it as normal. However, if you take desiccated thyroid extract (DTE) or liothyronine, always collect your blood sample before taking your daily dose. Please declare if you take amiodarone or lithium, as these alter thyroid results.

📊 Clinical Laboratory Limitations: Our laboratories cannot provide exact numerical results for active Vitamin B12 levels when they sit above 150 pmol/L; these values will be displayed on your report as ">150 pmol/L". Additionally, a low-normal serum magnesium result cannot entirely guarantee that your total body cellular magnesium levels are sufficient; our doctors will provide supportive guidance on maintaining optimal levels regardless.

Biomarkers Tested

Total Biomarkers: 47

Red Blood Cells

Haemoglobin: The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body; low levels indicate anaemia.

Haematocrit: The percentage of your blood volume that is made up of red blood cells.

Red Cell Count: The total number of red blood cells in a given volume of blood.

MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume): A measure of the average size of your red blood cells.

MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin): The average amount of haemoglobin found in each red blood cell.

MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration): A calculation of the concentration of haemoglobin inside a given volume of red blood cells.

White Blood Cells

White Cell Count: The total number of white blood cells in your blood, which are crucial for fighting infection.

Neutrophils: The most common type of white blood cell; they are the first responders to bacterial infections and physical stress.

Clotting Status

Platelet Count: Tiny blood cells that help your blood clot to stop bleeding.

MPV (Mean Platelet Volume): A measurement of the average size of your platelets, which reflects how recently they were produced.

Kidney Health

Urea: A waste product formed in the liver when protein is metabolized; high levels can indicate kidney issues or dehydration.

Creatinine: A chemical waste product produced by muscle metabolism that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys.

eGFR: A calculated measure of how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood.

Liver Health

Bilirubin: A yellow substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells; high levels can cause jaundice.

ALP: An enzyme found in the liver and bones; high levels often indicate blocked bile ducts or bone issues.

ALT: An enzyme found mostly inside liver cells that is released into the blood when the liver is damaged.

GGT: An enzyme found in bile ducts that is very sensitive to liver damage and alcohol consumption.

Proteins

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked question about our blood testing and diagnostic services. If there is a question not answered feel free to contact us!

Are there any age restrictions for your tests?

Yes, our services are currently available only to individuals aged 18 and over. We require you to confirm your Date of Birth in your Customer Account area.

Can I book a professional to take my blood?

Yes! We offer options for a clinic visit or a nurse home visit for a professional venous draw. You can select this option when choosing which test is right for you!

If you prefer to book your own phlebotomist, no problem! Simply select this option prrior to processing your order and we will send the kit to your home for you to arrange your own clinic visit.

Can I share my results with my own GP?

Yes, and we encourage it! You can download your doctor-reviewed report as a PDF from your secure portal to share with your GP or specialist during your next appointment.

Can I take these tests if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

While you can take the tests, pregnancy and breastfeeding significantly alter your hormone and nutrient levels. This means our standard "normal" ranges may not apply to you. We recommend consulting your midwife or GP before ordering.

Can I use these tests to monitor an existing medical condition?

Our tests are excellent for tracking trends and monitoring wellness. However, they should not be used to self-diagnose or adjust prescribed medication without first consulting your treating physician and GP.

Do I need a doctor’s referral or a prescription?

No. Optimal You provides a private service that allows you to take control of your health data without needing to visit a GP first.

How do I get started with a blood test?

Simply choose your test on our website and checkout.

Whilst on the particular test you are looking to purchase, select a test type from the drop down. You have three or four options depending on the type of test you are purchasing:

At Home Finger Prick Blood Test - You will receive you sample kit via the post. Simply follow the instructions enclosed and return using the packaging provided.

Book a Venous Draw at a Clinic - You will receive an email after you have processed your order containing instructions on how to book your clinic appointment. Our partners have national coverage of the UK to make your sample collection convenient to you whilst maintaining our quick service times. You can find your closest clinic via our partner medichecks on our clinic finder page.

Self arrange a Profesional Sample Collection - You will receive your sample collection kit in the post for you to take to your chosen phlebotomy clinic. Note you will be responsible for arranging your appointment and for any associated fees.

How long does it take to get my results?

Most results are ready within 2–5 working days after the lab receives your sample. You will receive an email notification as soon as they are ready.

How soon do I need to post my sample back?

To ensure the stability of your biomarkers, you should post your sample on thesame dayyou collect it. Avoid collecting samples on a Friday afternoon or over the weekend to prevent them from sitting in the post; Monday through Thursday is best.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption, and your data is stored securely in compliance with GDPR. Only you and our medical team have access to your results.

Is there a specific day or time I should take my sample?

Most tests are best performed first thing in a morning, especially if fasting is required. For hormonal tests (like Testosterone or Menopause profiles), we usually recommend collecting your sample before 10:00 AM when hormone levels are most stable.

You will receive additional guidance post purchase to give you all of the information needed as some tests have different guidelines.

What happens if I struggle to get enough blood from a finger-prick?

Don't worry, it happens! We include extra lancets in every kit. Pro tip: Make sure your hands are very warm (try soaking them in warm water) and stay well-hydrated for 24 hours before your test. If you still can't collect enough, contact us and we can help you arrange a venous blood draw instead.

What happens if my results are abnormal?

If a result is critically outside the normal range, our medical team will highlight this and provide clear guidance on the next steps during our contact with you, which may include you seeing your GP, going to A&E or calling the NHS on '111'.

What is the difference between a Finger-Prick and a Venous Draw?

A finger-prick is a self-collection kit done at home. A venous draw is a traditional blood sample taken from a vein by a professional. Some advanced tests (like our TRT or Enhanced Profiles) require a larger sample and are best done via a venous draw.

Who reviews my results?

Every report is reviewed by a qualified UK doctor. They provide personalized comments to help you understand what your biomarkers mean for your health.

Why are my results different from a previous test I had?

Biomarkers can fluctuate based on the time of day, your diet, stress levels, recent exercise, or even the lab equipment used. This is why we focus on "ranges." If you see a significant change, our medical team’s comments will help put that data into context.
