You can do the right things and still not know where you stand. Cholesterol rarely causes symptoms, and general advice can feel hard to apply to your body.
This test measures the key fats in your blood: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. It gives you a clear view of your lipid profile so you can understand cardiovascular risk, see where change is likely to help, and track the impact of lifestyle changes or treatment such as statins over time.
If you want clear numbers to guide decisions, this test is a straightforward place to start.

What the Cholesterol test is for
Take the guesswork out of heart health with our comprehensive cholesterol home test kit. Not just a simple cholesterol check, this test dives deep into your lipid profile, assessing Good and Bad cholesterol along with triglycerides. And best of all? No clinic visits required. UKAS-accredited lab testing brings top-tier analysis right to your doorstep.
Here's why it matters: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the UK. Too much fat in your blood isn't just bad news for your waistline—it also ups your risk for heart disease, stroke, and more.
But there's good news. Lifestyle changes, particularly in diet and exercise, can drastically reduce these risks. Our tests can also guide lipid-lowering therapies like statins, helping you find the perfect dose to manage your risk without side effects.
How it works is simple. Our home sampling kits are user-friendly and designed for hassle-free fingerprick sampling. Samples are then analysed by clinical scientists in a professional, accredited laboratory.
Don't wait for a health scare to take action. Know your numbers, understand your risks, and take the first step toward a healthier heart today.

How this works ›Why take the Cholesterol test?
This test is for you if you want a clear view of your cholesterol and triglycerides to understand cardiovascular risk and decide what to change.
It is particularly suited to people who are overweight, smoke or used to, exercise very little, or drink alcohol regularly or binge drink.
It is also appropriate if you have diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, an underactive thyroid, kidney disease, or polycystic ovary syndrome.
If heart disease runs in your family, or an immediate relative has had a heart attack, stroke, or heart bypass surgery, it helps you quantify risk rather than relying on guesswork.
You can also use it to monitor response to lipid-lowering treatment such as statins and support dose adjustments with objective numbers.
- Are overweight or obese (have a high BMI)

Cholesterol is a fatty substance known as a lipid and is vital for the normal functioning of the body. It's mainly made by the liver, but can also be found in some foods.
Having a high cholesterol level, associated with a high amount of fats in your blood (hyperlipidaemia) can be detrimental to your health. There is evidence that having high cholesterol increases your risk from cardiovascular diseases and associated death. It's also important to consider the ratio of 'Good' and 'Bad' cholesterol.
