HOW TO TAKE A BLOOD TEST AT HOME

AVOIDING COMMON ISSUES

INSUFFICIENT BLOOD

Warm your hands before you start. Stand up while collecting the blood. Hold your arm down so gravity does its thing. Gently milk your finger

 

DAMAGED BLOOD

Try not to squeeze too hard as it can damage the the blood cells. Use a new lancet on another finger to keep blood flowing naturally

 

BLOOD CLOTTING

Make sure you post your samples close to the time of collection. Avoid hot days and posting before a long holiday weekend

 

The average adult’s weight is made up of about 2% calcium. Most of this is found in the skeleton and teeth - the rest is stored in the tissues or blood. Calcium is vital for healthy teeth and bones. It also plays a crucial role in other systems of the body, such as the health and functioning of nerves and muscle tissue.

Calcium plays a role in:

  • strengthening bones and teeth
  • regulating muscle functioning, such as contraction and relaxation
  • regulating heart functioning
  • blood clotting
  • transmission of nervous system messages
  • enzyme function
  • If not enough calcium is circulating in your blood, your body will use hormones to reduce the amount of calcium your kidneys excrete in your urine. If not enough calcium is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, calcium will be taken from the bones.

    If your dietary intake of calcium is constantly low, your body will eventually remove so much calcium from the skeleton that your bones will become weak and brittle.

    This test will provide vital information on the levels of calcium in your blood giving you peace of mind or information which you can use to take remedial action or seek medical advice
