Welcome to the available tests page. The tests are placed into different biochemical, metabolic and physiological health issue categories located at the bottom of the page. The tests serve as markers for the specific health issues. There are also other general nutritional tests available. Before you place any orders or navigate further, please read the important general information below.

General information
- Mindovermetal Ltd works with three laboratories - Biolab, Analytical Research Labs and Biological Testing services (who work with a laboratory in Germany)
- Please contact mindovermetal rather than the laboratories if you have any issues with your test order or for any enquiries about the tests. Please email - orders@mindovermetal.co.uk
- All payments for tests are made directly to mindovermetal Ltd. All payments are made through a safe and secure paypal service. You do not need a paypal account to make payments, you can pay using your credit/debit card
- Some test kits will come with the required amount of preserving substance/solution to keep the sample preserved until it reaches the laboratory
- Some of the tests will require some preparation beforehand like avoidance of certain foods or supplements
- All test kits come with the relevant packaging to send the samples back to the laboratories except for the hair mineral test which is downloadable
- 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
- It is possible to have more than one of the health issues from the test categories and most of them connect with each other in some way
- You will find optional secondary tests for some of the health issues which serve as secondary or useful markers to the main diagnostic tests. These tests are optional tests for extra diagnosis or if a main diagnostic test result comes back as negative
- Certain tests will cover more than one health problem, for example, a hair mineral test will cover adrenal fatigue, copper toxicity and toxic/heavy metal toxicity and a histamine plasma test will cover histapenia and histadelia. There is no need to order the same test more than once to cover the separate health issues if the test can be diagnostic for more than one health problem
- Each laboratory has different test sample procedures and depending on the testing method (hair, urine, stool, finger prick, blood, saliva, breath, water) each test will have different types of test kits. All test kits come with instructions on how to collect the sample and all sample types can be collected at home except for blood samples which need to be collected at a local doctors surgery, at Biolab's location, 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
- 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 (this does not include the hair mineral test because it is downloadable and there is no test kit delivered)
- The timeframe for receiving test kits to addresses in the United Kingdom is 3 - 6 days. Outside of the United Kingdom can take from 4 - 8 days dependent on your location
- 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
- It is advised to send samples (especially blood) back to the laboratories at the start of the week so that the laboratories receive the samples during the same working week
- 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)
- There are some blood tests (certain Biolab tests only) which require special next day delivery. Information about this can be found in the order guidelines/laboratory info section 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
- 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. You will need a PDF reader and Word document reader to open all test results
- The timeframe for receiving your results after you have sent your sample will depend on the laboratory and what test you are ordering. Please check the result turnaround time within the order guidelines/laboratory info for the test you want to order. Some tests (certain Biolab tests only) will be sent on through to a secondary laboratory so the return timeframe will be longer
- 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
- All tests apart from the next day delivery blood tests can be ordered within Europe
Doctor referrals are not needed to purchase any of the tests from the store.

All treatment programmes are included in the price of the tests if a positive diagnosis is made.
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).
