Immunity Check at Home

A home blood test of blood count, vitamin D, inflammation, average sugar and thyroid, the basics that affect energy and immunity. Blood sample, 5 tests.

When you keep catching colds or feel run down, a few basics are worth checking. Low vitamin D is very common in the UAE, especially if you spend most of the day indoors, and changes in blood sugar, thyroid or inflammation can also leave you tired and more likely to pick up infections. No fasting is needed.
