How Our Testing Works
Step 1: Order online
Smart Nutrition offers a wide range of functional medicine and health tests to support your wellbeing. You’ll find everything you need on our Tests page — including how to choose the right test, exactly what each test measures, which sample type is required, and typical turnaround times.
Step 2: We send your kit
Your kit will be sent directly to you by our laboratory partner. We work with a range of accredited specialist laboratories to provide the broadest possible choice of tests. If you order more than one test, kits may arrive separately as they can come from different laboratories.
Once your order is confirmed, you will also receive a short health questionnaire by email. Please complete this before collecting your sample — it is an essential part of the service and enables the reviewing GP or clinician to interpret your results accurately and safely within the context of your individual health history.GP ?
