Who it's for
Athletes and serious trainers who treat their body as a performance machine — and want the biological data behind what they're feeling. Built around the markers that determine real performance and recovery.
What you'll learn
Fifty-six markers across hormones, recovery, nutrition and heart health — the data that explains why performance plateaus, recovery slows, or energy dips. The complete performance panel.
Why it matters
Training without data is training blind. Every elite athlete monitors their bloods because performance is built on biology — hormones, iron, recovery markers, inflammation. This is the panel that turns 'I feel off' into a clear, actionable plan.

WHY ATHLETES TEST
The 5 markers that change how athletes train
Testosterone (extended range)
Tested up to 502 nmol/L. Standard tests cap at 50 — useless if you're optimising or on TRT. Yours gives a real number, every time.
Ferritin
Your iron stores. Endurance crashes when this drops — common in runners and women.
CRP
Silent inflammation. The number that tells you when to deload.
Cortisol
Chronic stress signal. High = your training is winning, you’re losing.
Vitamin D
Most UK athletes are deficient half the year. Affects bone, immune and hormones.

Magnesium Blood Test
Magnesium isn't in your Athlete panel — but it should be. The mineral that drives muscle function, sleep quality and energy production. Low levels show up as cramping, poor sleep and chronic fatigue.

FAQ
Common questions
How do I take my blood sample?
We post you a free venous home collection kit with everything you need — sample tubes, instructions and a pre-paid Tracked 24 return envelope. You’ll need someone trained to draw blood, or you can add a phlebotomist home visit at checkout and we’ll come to you.
When should I take my sample?
Morning is best — most hormones (especially testosterone and cortisol) follow a daily rhythm and read most accurately before 10am. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours beforehand so your recovery and inflammation markers read true.
How fast will I receive my results?
Same day your sample arrives at our UK lab. You’ll get a notification when your AI report is ready in your private dashboard.
What if I take the sample wrong?
If you have a problem during collection — the tube won’t fill, you spill it, the cap leaks — message us before you post the sample and we’ll send a free replacement kit. Once it reaches the lab, retests carry a £15 fee, so it’s always cheaper to flag it with us first.
Will I understand the results?
Yes. Every result comes with a plain-English AI report explaining what each marker means and what’s optimal for your age and goals. If you want to talk it through, you can book a consultation with one of our doctors.
Where is my sample tested?
All samples are processed at our own UKAS-accredited UK laboratory, Bloods UK Ltd. We run the lab in-house — meaning shorter chain of custody, faster turnaround, and tighter quality control than third-party processors.
How is this different from a blood test from my GP?
The NHS tests for disease — we test for optimisation. Most GP panels run 10–15 markers focused on diagnosing illness. Ours runs 56, including hormones, recovery and performance markers your GP won’t check unless you’re already unwell. You also get plain-English explanations and you keep your data.
Do I need to be an athlete to take this test?
No. The test is built around the markers that matter for performance, recovery and hormones — but those same markers run your everyday energy, mood and metabolism. You just need to want a clear picture of what’s going on.
Wherever possible, samples are tested on the same day. Occasionally, testing may take a little longer due to laboratory workflows or operational requirements.
