How do you use a home blood test?

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. To learn more about how to take a blood test at home, click here .

How long do blood test results take?

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 to avoid missing 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).

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

Yes. The blood 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.

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

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.

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

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

Can the health tests diagnose unknown health issues?

The 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.

Really good! The blood test wasn’t that hard to do, the results are fast. The clinicians are great and really explained everything to me. 

Lynne

I recently underwent a blood test and I found it pretty straightforward to do. The results came back within a couple of days. I’m impressed and would do it again. 

Flo

Some useful info gained from the blood test. Worth doing to see where you are. Not sure what proportion of people scrape through with normal results for the money back promise, but hey ho. It is a good service
