    There are a ton of companies that do this and googling wil l find them. You'll pay around £450 for that lot.

    Which brings us to the big question what do you do with these results after? Are you looking for a precondition and do you start to dose yourself with supplements. Are you a haematologist and can you accurately tell the significance or not of your results?

    The only reason for ordering your own blood tests would be if you had or suspected a particular condition and the nhs was slow or not willing to carry out that test on grounds of expense.
