- You can order any test you want even if you are not wanting to diagnose any of the health issues and wish to order a test for other reasons.
- The time frame for receiving test kits to addresses in the United Kingdom is 1 - 3 days. Outside of the United Kingdom can take from 2 - 7 days dependent on which country you are ordering from. If you do not receive your test kit within the time frame then please contact mindovermetal.
- Test kits ordered before 3pm Monday to Friday will be sent out the same day. Test kits ordered after 3pm Monday to Thursday will be sent out the following day morning time. Test kits ordered after 3pm Friday and over the course of the weekend will not be sent out till Monday morning the following week.
- All test kits come with instructions on how to collect the sample and with the relevant packaging and preserving substance for you to send the sample back to the laboratories (address details included), except for the hair mineral test and the MTHFR/COMT gene tests which are downloadable products.
- All of the test prices cover postal delivery costs to send the kits out to your address except for any orders made outside of the UK which will include a postal charge of £7 per overall order not per test.
- Some of the tests will require some preparation beforehand like avoidance of certain foods or supplements. You will find more info about this in the individual test order pages.
- All sample types can be collected at home (hair, urine, stool, finger prick, saliva, breath, water) except for blood samples which need to be taken at your doctor's surgery (usually it can be done free of charge), at Biolab's location (free of charge), via a phlebotomy service or by a nurse. Blood test kits will come with a phlebotomy pack (including antiseptic pad, needle, needle holder, small plaster) and this should only be used by a medical professional. If you would like to make an appointment at Biolab for a blood draw please contact mindovermetal so that one can be arranged.
- It is advised to send samples (especially blood) back to the laboratories at the start of the week or Sunday the day before the week starts so that the laboratories receive the samples during the same working week. This does not apply to the hair mineral test which can be sent at any time in the week. Hair is stable and be tested many days later.
- All samples will need to be sent back to the laboratories and not mindovermetal Ltd. The postal charge will depend on your country of residence and the size/weight of the package. Most of the test kits are sent back at large letter rates with Royal Mail (UK only).
- All blood samples will need to reach the laboratories within 2 - 3 days. Blood tests that are being sent outside of the UK and within Europe will need to be couriered. There are some blood tests (certain Biolab tests only) which require special next day delivery. Information about this can be found on the order pages of any of the tests this applies to.
- None of the tests expire but it is advised to collect samples in the first 6 weeks of ordering.
- Except for the cortisol and DHEA saliva test there are no age restrictions but the individual needs to be able to collect a valid sample, if you are unsure then please contact mindovermetal.
- All test results are emailed directly to you from mindovermetal Ltd and not from any of the laboratories. Mindovermetal Ltd does not send any results by post and only sends results via email. The results are sent as downloadable documents.
- The time frame for receiving your results after you have sent your sample will depend on what test you are ordering. Please check the result turnaround time in the individual test order pages. Some tests (certain Biolab tests only) will be sent on through to a secondary laboratory so the return time frame will be longer. Please make a note of the date you send the sample and if you do not receive your results within the time frame then please contact mindovermetal.
- All result readings are simple to understand and each test result will tell you if you are above, below or within the required reference ranges.
- Mindovermetal will provide a summary of all test results and if you test positive for any of the health issues then you will receive the relevant treatment programme attached in the results email at no extra cost. If you have any questions about your results then mindovermetal will answer them for you at no extra cost.
- For information regarding refunds please refer to the terms and conditions page. Depending on which laboratory your test is with, the refund policy will be different.
Doctor referrals are not needed to purchase any of the tests from the store.
All tests apart from the next day delivery blood tests can be ordered within Europe.
If you are ordering for someone else please include their name at checkout instead of yours. If you are ordering more than one of a particular test then please include the other name/s in the notes section at the final checkout screen.

Please note: It is not advised to undergo treatment for any of the health issues without being tested first as this may cause imbalances. In general, there should only be a need for supplements when replenishing a deficiency (short-term), for detoxification purposes (short-term) and dealing with particular biochemical and metabolic issues which cause a constant deficiency/imbalance of specific nutrients and substances (long-term).
