Lab & biomarker tests

Direct-to-consumer blood, biological-age and other tests, judged on the lab behind them and what they can really tell you.

How we rank lab & biomarker tests

  • What it measures 25%
  • Lab quality 20%
  • Results & follow-up 20%
  • Your data 20%
  • Value 15%
Why, and what each one means

We rank lab-test services on how many of the markers research ties to health they cover (lipids and ApoB, Lp(a), blood sugar, thyroid, kidney, liver, iron, inflammation), whether a named, accredited lab runs them, what follow-up you get, what happens to your data, and price per marker. More markers is not better by itself: a Cochrane review (opens in a new tab) of general health checks found little effect on deaths, so we prefer targeted tests, such as Lp(a), read with a clinician.

What it measures 25%
How many of the markers that research ties to health it covers (lipids and ApoB, Lp(a), glucose and HbA1c, kidney, liver, thyroid, blood count, vitamin D and iron, inflammation), without padding.
Lab quality 20%
Run in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited lab that the service names.
Results & follow-up 20%
You get the raw values with reference ranges and can download them, a licensed clinician reviews them, and urgent results get a call.
Your data 20%
No sale or sharing of your health data, deletion on request, and no push toward products it sells.
Value 15%
Price per useful marker against the others here that pass.

Each product scores every one from 1 to 5, and its rating is the weighted average. We list only products rated 3 or above that break none of our rules.

  • Scores or “biological age” results presented as a diagnosis.
  • Results that lead straight into the company’s own supplement sales, or a partner’s buying club.
  • IgG food-sensitivity panels, which allergy societies advise against, and catalogs that mix them in with proven tests.

  • Mito Health One-off or membership · from $125 Listed · 4.2

    A broad snapshot at the lowest price per marker we found. One draw cannot show a trend; the “biological age tracking” members get is a score built from routine markers.

    Measures
    139 listed biomarkers on Core (138 in its comparison table); Essential about 118, Pro about 166. Mito does not say how many are calculated ratios.
    Covers

    Quest, Labcorp or BioReference, your choice when you order. CMS lists a main lab of each as CAP-accredited; Mito does not say which site runs your sample.
    Clinician
    A Mito-network physician signs each order and a clinician reviews results, per Mito. It does not say what happens to urgent results.
    Results
    An app with trends and an action plan. A live clinician consult costs extra ($39 for 30 minutes for members, $99 without). Export and deletion are by email request.
    Your data

  • Function Health Membership · from $365 Listed · 4.0

    The widest panel for the price, and a second draw that shows what changed. A general health check has not been shown to change outcomes, so read it with your own doctor.

    Covers
    Lipids, ApoB, Lp(a), Glucose & HbA1c, Insulin, Kidney, Liver, Thyroid, Blood count, Iron & ferritin, Vitamin D, Inflammation (hs-CRP), Omega-3 index

    Sample
    Blood draw at one of 2,000+ Quest sites in 48 states, or a home draw. Not offered in Rhode Island, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
    Lab
    Quest Diagnostics. CMS lists Quest labs as CAP-accredited; Function does not say which site runs a sample.

    An app with ranges, clinician notes and a PDF you can download; first results can arrive within 48 hours of the draw.
    Your data
    Says it does not sell personal information outside advertising sharing and keeps health data away from ad partners. Personal data can go to research partners and de-identified data to third parties; deletion is offered and is permanent.
    Sells you
    IgG food-sensitivity tests, a mold response panel, the Galleri cancer test, MRI and CT, and a SuppCo supplement buying club (Function bought SuppCo in May 2026).

    Your data
    Quest Consumer says it does not sell personal information or consumer health data. The lab’s HIPAA notice bars selling it without your authorization but allows any lawful use of de-identified data. We found no promise to delete lab records.

    Results
    A dashboard in plain language with a Care Plan; PDF download not stated.
    Your data
    The privacy notice marks consumer health data as shared with service providers and says it may share health-topic information with advertising vendors for inferred interests; you can opt out. It does not describe research use. Deletion is offered with exemptions.
    Sells you
    A paid consult tier and 30+ separate at-home test kits.
    Our call
    A fair price for one yearly draw, but its data policy shares health information with advertisers. Why it isn’t listed: Privacy notice shares health data with advertising vendors, and one draw a year

    Cheap to start, with a short panel and marketing that outruns its legal terms. Why it isn’t listed: “FDA Cleared” badge covers only the lancet, and a “97% improve” claim rests on an enjoyment survey

    Sample
    Upper-arm collection at home with an EasyDraw device; no vein draw or fingerprick.
    Lab
    A “CLIA-certified” and “CAP-accredited” lab that it does not name; its site says mail-in testing is provided by third parties. CMS has no CLIA lab named SiPhox.
    Clinician
    “Expert review” and a named chief medical officer; it calls itself wellness-only and not a diagnostic service. Telehealth runs through Beluga Health.
    Results
    Results in 7 to 10 days in an app, with 1:1 coaching available.

  • Superpower Membership · from $199 Not listed

    A broad list at the lowest membership price, with a built-in path to prescriptions and supplements.

    Headline “100+ biomarkers” from one draw. Its home page category lists add up to 86 (hormones and thyroid 19, heart and metabolic 41, cancer and other risks 10, DNA health 7, energy 6, aging 3). Its biomarker page lists far more, many of them urine, allergy, mold and metal items, and it does not say which belong to the standard panel. Home-page lists name HbA1c, TSH, free T3 and T4, ferritin, iron, B12, folate, homocysteine, hs-CRP, cortisol, estradiol and progesterone; the biomarker page also lists ApoB, Lp(a), insulin, C-peptide, vitamin D, testosterone and ALT, AST and creatinine. It also reports a biological age and scores.

    Sample
    Blood draw at 2,000+ labs (Quest locations), or at home for an extra fee.
    Lab
    Quest locations are named on its page; “laboratory partners” elsewhere. The lab’s name is not on the FAQ and we did not find a CLIA number.
    Clinician
    An AI assistant answers daily questions and a care team of clinicians covers anything beyond it; providers include physicians, nurse practitioners and pharmacists. How critical results are handled is not addressed on its FAQ.
    Results
    An app with a dashboard and action plan; you can download or delete your data. Typically about a week.
    Your data
    Its home page says “We never sell it”, but the privacy policy says it does not sell personal data for others’ advertising, shares data with ad platforms (which state law may treat as a sale) and may sell de-identified data for any lawful purpose. AI processing is not used for model training. Deletion on request.
    Sells you
    A marketplace of supplements, peptides and compounded prescriptions at member pricing; add-on tests (gut, toxins, Galleri).
    Our call
    Low price, but results lead straight to its own marketplace. Why it isn’t listed: Results feed its own marketplace of supplements, peptides and prescriptions; lab not named in its FAQ

    Lab
    Never named. Its test numbers match Quest’s, but it says only “national lab”.
    Clinician
    Orders go through a healthcare professional network; no one reviews or explains results. Critical values trigger an alert.
    Results
    A dashboard with graphs and functional ranges, plus a PDF.
    Your data
    Says it will never sell personally identifiable information; the HIPAA notice allows limited marketing and uses to develop its programs; no stated right to delete lab records.
    Sells you
    IgG food-sensitivity kits (96 to 205 foods, $241 to $625) and a candida antibody kit.
    Our call
    Low price, but no named lab, no clinician and IgG panels. Why it isn’t listed: Lab not named, no clinician review, and it sells IgG food-sensitivity panels

    Sample
    Blood draw at one of 4,500+ Quest or Labcorp locations; some home kits.
    Lab
    Quest or Labcorp; the product page lists both and does not say which you get. The FAQ does not mention CLIA.
    Clinician
    A physician from its network signs the order; it does not write prescriptions or call about results.
    Results
    Uploaded to your account in 24 to 48 hours; a provider gets a copy only with your written consent.
    Your data
    The policy never says whether data is sold and has no deletion right or mention of de-identified use; it promises not to share with third parties without consent.
    Sells you
    Partner kits (SpectraCell, Genova) and a wide catalog.
    Our call
    Cheap and plain, but no clinician follow-up and thin privacy terms. Why it isn’t listed: No clinician follow-up, no deletion right, panel contents hard to read
