Question 1

Why should I take a heart health blood test?

Accepted Answer

Heart health blood tests help you to understand how well some of your body’s most important organs are functioning. They can identify potential health issues and give you a better understanding of your overall heart health.

Question 2

How do you use a home blood test?

Accepted Answer

Each blood test is easy to use, even if you’ve never used a home blood test kit before.

It only takes a small amount of preparation to successfully collect a blood sample and all the equipment you need to do so is included in the kit.

A summary of how to use the tests:

Wash your hands in warm water for 4 minutes and then dry them.
Use the lancet provided to prick your finger and collect a blood sample.
Post your sample to our accredited partner laboratory using the prepaid envelope included with your test.

Full instructions are provided with your test, which you should read thoroughly before use to ensure the best results.

Question 3

How long do blood test results take?

Accepted Answer

You should receive your blood test results three to five working days after you post your blood samples.

You’ll get an email notifying you that your results have arrived in your Numan account, so keep an eye on your inbox so you don’t miss them. Additionally, you’ll receive a written review of your results from one of our clinicians, which you can read alongside your results to help you understand them.

Once they’re in your account, you can view your results any time you wish. You can also view them in-app and save your results as a PDF to help you keep track of them (and show them to your GP if need be).

Question 4

Can I really use a blood test kit without professional supervision?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The heart health tests are designed to be taken at home without professional supervision. Just follow the instructions in the kit and post your sample back to us using the prepaid envelope.

Question 5

How do I know which heart health test is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Click ‘learn more’ on each test to understand the key benefits and what biomarkers the kit tests for. From here, you’ll see the difference between each test and can select the one that most accurately aligns with your health status and goals.

Question 6

Does taking a blood sample with a home blood test hurt?

Accepted Answer

Each test is a finger prick test, so you may feel a small scratch when you use the lancet provided with it to take a blood sample. This is only temporary, and any discomfort should subside swiftly afterwards.

Question 7

Can the heart health tests diagnose unknown health issues?

Accepted Answer

The heart health blood tests can only indicate rather than diagnose health issues. If you’re worried and suspect you might have an underlying health condition, we advise speaking to your regular doctor first. If you get any unexpected or unusual test results, this should also be flagged and discussed in more detail with your doctor.
