This advanced cholesterol and lipid profile test offers a convenient way to assess cardiovascular and metabolic health from home. It measures important cholesterol markers involved in heart health, inflammation, energy production, and lipid metabolism using a simple finger prick blood sample.
Many standard cholesterol tests only provide basic numerical ranges. This functional health assessment looks at cholesterol balance and lipid patterns in greater detail, helping practitioners identify early signs of imbalance before more significant dysfunction develops.
The test includes a practitioner interpretation appointment to help you understand your results in the context of your wider health, lifestyle, nutrition, and cardiovascular risk factors.
Adults who want to better understand their cholesterol levels, cardiovascular health, and metabolic wellbeing.
Anyone experiencing:
HDL Cholesterol: Measures protective cholesterol involved in transporting excess cholesterol away from the arteries.
LDL Cholesterol: Measures cholesterol associated with plaque build-up and cardiovascular risk.
Triglycerides: Assesses circulating blood fats linked to metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Total Cholesterol: Provides an overview of overall cholesterol levels and lipid balance.
Non-HDL Cholesterol: Measures cholesterol linked to increased cardiovascular risk.
Cholesterol Ratio: Evaluates the balance between protective and non-protective cholesterol markers.
Lipid Balance Markers: Provides additional insight into cardiovascular and metabolic health patterns.
This advanced lipid profile helps identify cholesterol imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular risk factors. Results may help guide nutrition, lifestyle, and practitioner-led functional health interventions.

VHL usually processes your sample within approximately 2 working days after laboratory receipt. We’ll invite you to join our secure online portal, Practice Better, where you can securely access your digital results report.
We’ll also send you a booking link to arrange your included 15 minute practitioner results consultation. You’ll need to be seen by one of our Integrative Medicine Doctors, as this test contains clinically significant biomarkers.
See our Privacy Policy for information about how your data will be processed by The Forbes Clinic and our third party testing suppliers.
Turnaround times vary depending on the test. We aim to process and submit your order to our provider within 2 working days. Test kits are promptly dispatched, and most samples can be collected and returned as soon as you're ready. Some tests may have specific requirements, such as timing around menstruation or return days. These details can be found under "How do I prepare for the test?" and in your kit. Estimated turnaround times refer to how long it takes to analyse your sample once it’s received at the laboratory.
All at-home test kits include clear instructions for sample collection and return, along with necessary packaging. Some tests require you to return the sample on specific days or immediately after collection. Most kits include pre-paid return labels, but some may require you to arrange a prepaid courier collection.

Your kit will come with full instructions and some include video guides. We can support with queries and we encourage you to contact us using the link below before collecting your sample to ensure it can be effectively analysed.
We offer functional testing with and without practitioner interpretation. You can filter tests by consultation on the Functional Testing page. Certain tests, especially those involving clinically significant biomarkers, are only available with interpretation, and some require interpretation by an Integrative Medicine Doctor. We’ll ensure you’re seen by the right practitioner when your results are in. You can purchase a consultation later if you choose standalone testing, but we offer preferential rates for booking upfront.
We provide functional testing to help you make informed health decisions but do not offer medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Results are interpreted through a nutritional, lifestyle, and functional medicine perspective, and it is your responsibility to seek further evaluation, diagnosis or treatment from your primary healthcare provider.
Your digital results report will include indicators of how your specific results differ or align with ‘optimal’ ranges in functional medicine. Some reports include an element of written interpretation. If you’ve purchased a consultation we’ll explain your results and interpret them from a nutritional, lifestyle and functional medicine perspective. We may offer suggestions about how Integrative or Functional Medicine can help and can refer you for full consultation or Integrative Health Assessment with a relevant practitioner if desired. If your test includes a clinically significant biomarker and your result is abnormal, we’ll direct you to consult your primary healthcare provider. If you haven’t purchased a consultation and you’re concerned about your results, you’ll be able to opt-in at this stage.
