Take control of your bone health with our convenient at-home Osteoporosis Test.
Osteoporosis is a common condition that causes bones to become weak and fragile, making them more susceptible to fractures, even from minor falls. Our easy-to-use home test kit helps identify if you are at risk of osteoporosis or fragility fractures, empowering you to take proactive steps toward protecting your bone health before serious issues develop.
With early detection, you can make important lifestyle changes—like improving your diet, increasing your calcium and vitamin D intake, or adjusting your exercise routine—to strengthen your bones and reduce your future risk.
What's Tested
Our Osteoporosis Test measures key markers associated with bone health:
Bone Turnover Markers: Indicate how quickly your bones are breaking down and rebuilding.
Vitamin D Levels: Essential for calcium absorption and bone strength.
Calcium Levels: Critical for maintaining healthy bone density.
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH): Regulates calcium balance in your bones and blood.
Together, these markers offer a comprehensive picture of your bone metabolism and health.
WHY GET TESTED
Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because bone loss occurs without symptoms until a fracture happens. Early detection is key to preventing serious injuries and long-term health consequences.
Fragility fractures—especially of the hip, spine, and wrist—can have a huge impact on your independence and quality of life. Identifying your risk early allows you to make targeted lifestyle changes that strengthen your bones and reduce future risk.
Did you know that bones begin to weaken as early as your mid-thirties? Fragile bones affect 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over 50, with key risk factors including:
Family history of osteoporosis
Menopause
Low body weight
Poor diet
Smoking and heavy alcohol use
Lack of weight-bearing exercise
Long-term corticosteroid use
Nutritional deficiencies (especially in calcium and vitamin D)
In the UK alone, around 3 million people live with osteoporosis, often undiagnosed until a fracture occurs. If you've suffered one fragility fracture, your risk of another increases dramatically, with 23% of secondary fractures happening within a year.
Our Osteoporosis Test doesn't just measure calcium and vitamin D levels—it evaluates key markers of bone metabolism and bone turnover, helping you understand how well your body is maintaining the structural integrity of your bones.
By identifying risks early, you can make vital changes to your diet, exercise routine, and supplementation to maintain stronger, healthier bones and minimise your risk of fractures.
