How long does it take to get my results?
Typically within 2 working days of your blood draw. Some tests have a longer turnaround time. You then first receive the results that are already in; those values follow later. You receive an email as soon as your report is ready.
Do I need to fast?
Yes, we advise fasting for 8 hours for the most reliable result, particularly for glucose and triglycerides.
Where can I have my blood drawn?
Bloodworks works with more than 1000 collection points across the Netherlands. You choose your location yourself after ordering.
Do I need a referral?
No, you can order directly without a referral from your GP.
Can I share my report with my GP?
Yes, your report is written in medical language and contains all relevant laboratory information. Many customers take it to a consultation.
Are the blood draw and collection costs included?
Yes. At Bloodworks you pay a one-off €29 in blood draw and collection costs per order, and from €225 that amount is waived. This value package is priced above that, so you pay nothing extra for the collection point or the blood draw. If you order only a smaller theme package or a single marker, the €29 is added.
When should I choose Premium instead of Plus?
Choose Bloodworks Premium when you want your iron status and your vitamins and minerals measured on top of the 26 biomarkers in Plus. Premium adds the full iron panel and vitamin D, B12, folate, magnesium and calcium, in the same blood draw. If your question is limited to heart, thyroid and blood sugar, Plus is sufficient.
