Good to know

Benefits and limitations of blood testing

A blood test offers valuable insight into your health, but it also has limitations. We set out both honestly, so you can make a well-considered choice.

Benefits

  • Early signals: deviations can become visible before you notice symptoms.
  • A complete picture in one draw: key values clearly together.
  • Interpreted by a doctor: you get context with your results, not just numbers.
  • Track your health over time: repeat easily and see changes.
  • Accessible: no referral needed, a draw at 800+ locations.

Points to consider

  • An abnormal value does not always mean something is wrong; sometimes it is normal for you or a recheck is needed.
  • A normal result does not rule out every condition.
  • Some findings may lead to unnecessary worry or follow-up testing.
  • A blood test is a snapshot in time and does not replace a medical diagnosis.
  • Do you have symptoms or doubts? Always discuss these with a doctor.

We value honest information. For independent information on the benefits and limitations of health tests, we are glad to refer you to the Dutch RIVM, pros and cons of health tests.

Veelgestelde vragen

Alles wat u wilt weten

Do I need to fast?

Fasting is not strictly required for most markers in this package, but we recommend fasting (8 hours) for a reliable picture, especially for magnesium.

Which foods are rich in these nutrients?

Vitamin D comes mainly from sunlight and fatty fish. B12 is found mainly in meat, fish and dairy. Folic acid is in leafy green vegetables and legumes. Magnesium is in nuts, seeds and green vegetables. Our doctor provides context per marker.

How long should I stop taking supplements beforehand?

For a baseline measurement, we recommend stopping supplements 1–2 weeks beforehand, especially high-dose vitamins can influence the measurement. For B12 injections, a longer waiting period applies.

What is the difference between total and intracellular magnesium?

We measure serum magnesium (in the blood plasma). For intracellular magnesium (in red blood cells), a separate measurement exists that we do not offer.

How often should I have this measured?

A single measurement is sufficient for initial insight. With active supplementation or follow-up, re-measurement after a few months is common.

What if I want more specific markers?

Through Bloodworks Select you can add markers such as iodine, copper, selenium, vitamin A or vitamin K.

Is this package suitable for children?

We recommend consulting with a GP or paediatrician for children under 18 years.

How quickly do I receive my results?

Typically within 2 business days of blood draw. Some vitamin tests may take slightly longer.
