Default Private labs online?
Hi

As I don't have insurance any more and doc wont run some test I have been recommended. I came across online privte labs and I can order test from them. They sent u to Labcorp for blood draw but u don't need doctors requisition.

Any one familiar with this and if these are reliable and accurate.

Thankyou
Tulips

There is someone on our Vitamin forum who did this...you could PM him?

bruegger84

Or search the Vitamin forum for him, but I think a PM would be quicker.

We've used Life Extension to get labs done before. lef.org

They write the orders and send it to you based on what you purchased from their available list. I think they only do blood testing. You then take the order to Labcorp and they'll draw your blood. You'll get a copy of the results from Life Extension.

They have an annual "sale" which is a better price point. I don't know when it is though.

Did you have any luck ?

Id be interested to hear if there was any list that reviewed labs in Europe too.

My tests are always negative unless its something I dont want them to find.. what a coincidence !

A good one , as long as the quality doesnt reflect the cost.
