If you are concerned about your cholesterol levels or just want to check on your health, this cholesterol blood test is for you.
Cholesterol plays an important role in the general function of the body, however too much can increase your risk of a stroke, heart attack or developing dementia.
Our Cholesterol Profile Blood test will check your levels of good and bad cholesterol within your blood and identify risks to your health. It is also sometimes know as a Lipid blood test, or Lipid Panel Test.
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL Cholesterol) is the ‘good’ cholesterol you need for your health, whilst Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol) is the bad cholesterol that can build up in your blood vessels and lead to heart disease, stroke, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
High cholesterol has no symptoms, so the only way to check your health is with a blood test.
Book a cholesterol blood test today and understand your cholesterol levels to start making simple changes to your diet and lifestyle as required, and improve your health and longevity.
Our in-clinic rapid test does not require you to fast before your appointment.
However, due to the nature of the testing process at the laboratory used for home test kits and venous blood draws, it is recommended that you fast for 10-12 hours before taking a home test or venous blood sample. This means not eating or drinking anything except water for between 10-12 hours before your sample is provided.
Discuss your results with a qualified, registered GP at a time that is convenient to you. Simply pay for a GP Consultation when you check out today and we will send you the details of how to arrange your video call – appointments available every day, 8am-8pm.
Don’t wait weeks to see your GP – our service gives you answers and reassurance when you want them.
*Prescription charges may apply depending on your NHS eligibility

Cholesterol plays an important role in the general function of the body, however too much can increase your risk of stroke or heart attack. Blood tests to check your levels of good or bad cholesterol can check levels within the blood and identify risks to your health.
For example, LDL cholesterol can lead to fatty deposits inside your arteries causing heart disease, heart attack and stroke, whilst the HDL molecule transports cholesterol and fatty deposits out of the blood stream to the liver, to be broken down and removed – meaning you should be aiming for low LDL and high HDL overall.
Having high cholesterol produces no initial symptoms so the only way to check your health is with a blood test. Cholesterol levels can be easily lowered by stopping smoking, improving your diet, doing more physical activity - but you need to know your levels first.
