BetterYou Health Supplements for A Better Lifestyle and A Better You - In our daily life, we lack most of the key nutrients necessary for our brain and body. In most of the cases, the incident of lacking elements remains unknown and unsolved. BetterYou is one of the most trusted health supplement manufacturer brands, focused upon creating health supplements enriched with essential ingredients required by the body. With every innovation done by the company, the company creates a new milestone to touch the growing needs of nutritional requirements of the customers.
Manufacturing Excellence from The Foundation
Being founded in 2016 by Andrew Thomas BetterYou is the first company to manufacture topically applied magnesium and oral sprays in the world. The company has partnered with some of the most renowned research institutes across the globe, including the University of Cardiff, Sheffield, Sand well and Ulster. BetterYou continues to grow with the passion and commitment to developing exceptional nutritional supplements.
Intelligent Choices of Health Supplements
Most of us don’t know the benefits of each element present in our body. Many times, the same elements which must be present naturally in our body, lack in amount, and we face inevitable consequences. BetterYou specializes in such nutritional supplements which are under present or are omitted due to our diet and modern lifestyle.
Smart Mechanism and Absorption
Every supplement that we intake orally goes through the processing of the gut or the digestive system. The BetterYou products focused upon increasing the absorption by the bloodstream and reducing gut processing. The oral sprays of BetterYou are simply sprayed on the inner cheek and s absorbed by the body faster than other oral pills or tablets.
Range of Supplementary Products
BetterYou has a wide range of nutritional and health supplements, which maximize nutrient delivery. Each and every product manufactured by BetterYou is formulated to overcome the absorption challenges faced by other oral health supplements. BetterYou have an extensive range of Intra-oral and transdermal products for every age group.
When is the best time to test?
For convenience, we suggest you collect your sample first thing in the morning. It helps to get an accurate understanding of your level that is not influenced by time of day or intake of food.
While your vitamin D levels may be higher in the summer due to the natural increase in sunlight, there is still no ‘best’ time to test. We recommend taking this test at regular interval of 3-4 months to ensure your levels are optimal throughout the year that will provide you with the most health benefit.
How is my blood sample collected?
The test is conducted using dry blood spot samples. That means using a simple finger prick to leave 4 spots of blood on a card which is sent to the lab for analysis. The kit is delivered to your chosen address along with full instructions and a pre-paid return envelope for your sample.
Is there any difference between your various tests?
Yes, the analysis method differs. Our vitamin D tests differ from our Iron and B12 tests due to the collection method and how you receive your results. Ultimately, they each provide you with a detailed picture of your levels but use different analysis methods.
How will my data be stored?
Do not worry; we understand the importance of data security when dealing with sensitive data such as biometric testing. Your results will be securely processed and stored on secure servers.
If you take a vitamin D test, your results will be communicated via email but if you take an Iron or B12 test, your results will be available via a secure online portal.
By purchasing and completing the tests,to share your data between BetterYou and our testing partners.
What lab will process my sample?
Our laboratories partner are UK based, accredited and meet regulatory standards. They are some of the largest private labs in the country but also work directly with the NHS.
How often should I take the blood test?
We would recommend testing at different times of the year to establish your year-round levels. We would suggest a maximum of 4 times per year, every 3-4 months would be fine.
Can I get this test done for free by my GP?
Blood tests can be carried out by your GP that often take a long time to complete, and you rarely get detailed results. By using one of our tests, you get a bespoke supplementation plan as soon as your results are available and it is easy to track your results over time. But if you are at all concerned with your results, you can take them to your GP for further analysis.
Do I need to stop supplementing before testing?
It is totally up to you if you want to stop supplementing before taking a test. If you are taking supplement, by taking a test you will establish if you need to up or reduce your dosage but, if you decide to stop supplementation before testing, you will get a better idea of your baseline levels from diet alone.
If you do wish to find your baseline dietary level, we recommend a washout period of 2 weeks (Iron and B12) and 4-6 weeks (Vitamin D).
Always consult your GP or healthcare professional before making a change to your supplementation plan.
Are the kits easy to use?
Our at-home kits are incredibly easy to complete. They allow you to quickly and easily take your sample without the need for a professional or visit a GP surgery/clinic at the comfort of your home.
Why should I choose BetterYou at-home health checks?
By using a BetterYou at-home health check you get to see an accurate insight into your levels of a specific nutrient. Not only this, but we also provide you with a detailed supplementation plan included within the price to help you maintain or elevate your levels for optimal health.
We will also provide you with a complimentary oral spray to help you kick-start your journey to optimal health, all included in a single one-off price which is affordable and convenient.

If your question is how to make your body strong, then Vitamin D is the answer. BetterYou's Vitamin D Test Kit provides you simple and easy way to track your Vitamin D levels for optimum health.
Due to our modern home-bound lifestyle, we rarely spend enough time in the sun that is considered our natural source of Vitamin D. Also, usually we do not take adequate Vitamin D from our daily diet. That is the reason why one out of every five persons suffers from Vitamin D deficiency. It is vital to check if you're one of the over 10 million people within the UK who suffer from vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that has substantial positive effects on several systems throughout your body. It is vital in regulating the immune system and strengthening bones and supporting muscle function. If you have one or many of the following symptoms, we recommend getting the test done as soon as possible.
How does this test work?
This test checks your stored D3 and D2 levels which represent the effective marker for checking deficiency.
Your test results generated by our lab partners will be sent via email directly to you and BetterYou as well. This result enables us to follow up with a tailored supplementation plan for you and an explanation of what your test result means.
Our vitamin D testing service comes with free UK postage.

Importance of checking your vitamin D levels
With our modern lifestyle of increasing indoor existence and changing diets with lesser nutritional values, it is becoming difficult for us to get our required vitamin D from the sun alone. Also, sun rays are now said to have harmful UV rays, and lots of exposure can cause damaging effects on skin health.
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent, and most people are unaware of it. Approximately 1 in 5 people within the UK have low or are deficient in vitamin D. The number is alarming. Therefore, a test should be considered by everyone as it helps establish if your current lifestyle and diet provide as much vitamin D as you think it does.
Who needs it
As we are leading ourselves to modern life, our diet pattern changes as well. Therefore it is now more crucial than ever for everyone to ensure that we maintain healthy vitamin D levels throughout the year.
Vitamin D test is suitable for everyone but the Department of Health outlines the following groups as 'at-risk', and should strongly consider checking their levels as they have an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency:
