Laboratory Tests

The laboratory tests which we find useful are provided by Genova Diagnostics. They are non-invasive, painless tests where all you have to do is collect samples in the privacy of your own home. The laboratory fee is payable directly to Genova Diagnostics on receipt of their invoice with the test kit. The Nutritionhelp fee is payable when ordering the test and covers a detailed explanatory report of the laboratory’s findings, together with appropriate recommendations. The results can take up to two weeks, and when the Nutritionhelp recommendations have been prepared you will receive an email to notify you that the report can be viewed by logging in to your details page on www.nutritionhelp.com.

The Nutritionhelp fee for all tests is £16.
