Measurement of human samples

We have the capacity to take blood (finger-prick, intravenous and cannulation; by trained phlebotomists), saliva, urine and stool samples and can measure a wide range of biomarkers in our own clinical space. Where we are unable, we work with UK hospitals to measure these on our behalf. Examples of biomarkers include:

​

• Salivary cortisol and caffeine

• Finger-prick glucose 

• Plasma levels of parent and metabolites of nutritional interventions

• Total antioxidant status

• Inflammatory markers

• Full bloods screen
