Medichecks
The widest marker range, and the one most likely to have what you want
The best all-rounder for this purpose. It has the broadest test menu of the UK home-testing providers, offers both finger-prick and venous collection, and discounts frequently enough that the list price is rarely what you pay. If you only use one provider for a longevity panel, this is the default.
- Collection
- Finger-prick or venous
- Clinician review
- Included
- Subscription
- One-off only
- From
- £159
Strengths
- Widest range of individual markers and panels in the UK market
- Venous draw available, which matters for markers finger-prick handles poorly
- Doctor comments included as standard
- Frequent sales — list price is often well above what you pay
Where it falls short
- The number of panels is genuinely confusing; it is easy to buy the wrong one
- Advanced markers push the price up quickly
- Not a subscription, so tracking over time takes deliberate repeat purchases
Panels, and what they actually cover
Marker counts are a poor guide — a 47-marker panel that omits ApoB is worse for this purpose than a 20-marker one that includes it. These are the markers each panel covers that we have written up.
Advanced / Take Control
£159 · 47 markersGood coverage of the mid-tier. Check whether ApoB is included or needs adding.
Optimal Health
£249 · 59 markersThe closest single panel to a full longevity picture. Lp(a) may still need adding separately.
Prices at list, checked August 2026. Confirm before buying — panel contents and pricing change.
What you would still be missing
Even buying every panel listed above, these markers from our library would go unmeasured. Some need adding individually; some need a different provider.
No commercial relationship. We are not paid by Medichecks or any provider on this site, and the link above is a plain one. This is an assessment of which panel measures what, not a recommendation to buy. Discuss any result that concerns you with a clinician — see our medical disclaimer.
