Principle

Measure first, then decide

Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: the lab report first, then the decision.

Consultation to put the measured values in context

    Measure Five key nutrient markers from 600 µl of capillary blood, analysed at our partner laboratory in Germany.

Ory experts support you

Doctors and Heilpraktiker from the Ory team are there for you the whole way — with the lab report and with everything that follows.

Initial consultation

What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

What this analysis covers

What is measured

Five key vitamins from capillary blood, designed for children and adolescents.

E421D Folate & vitamin B12 Key markers for cell division and energy metabolism
E421D Vitamin D3 (25OH) & vitamin E The storage form of vitamin D and antioxidant protection
E421D Coenzyme Q10 A central factor in mitochondrial energy production

The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.

To the biomarker reference

For whom

The test is worth considering for tiredness, trouble concentrating at school, frequent infections or slowed growth in children and adolescents — complaints that often have a measurable cause in vitamin status.

What a single value means in your situation is something to discuss with a practitioner. It does not replace medical investigation.

How it works

Four steps from order to lab report.

  1. 01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
  2. 02 Take the blood A finger prick with a parent helping.
  3. 03 Send it back Post it in the prepaid envelope.
  4. 04 Get your report 7–21 days after the sample arrives.

Instructions

The key points first:

  • Warm the child's hand well first, clean the finger with an alcohol swab and let it dry.
  • With a parent helping, fill the tube with 600 µl of capillary blood.
  • Close the tube firmly and post it in the prepaid envelope.

Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters, so that your sample – stool, urine, saliva or blood – can be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Family and partner testing

Testing together shows connections that a single analysis does not reveal. We need three things for it.

Clear details per person For each person tested we need a name and date of birth so the laboratory can match everything correctly.
A separate email address Each person needs their own email address for secure digital access. Where that is not possible, we send the results as a PDF to one shared address.
Clear labelling Samples and forms must each be assigned to exactly the right person.

From three tests of the same analysis for the family you get 10 % off. Write to us and you will get your own discount code.

Reimbursement by private health insurance

If your private health insurance might reimburse you, this is how it works with us:

01 A short online conversation with one of our therapists We go through your symptoms and take a brief medical history.
02 A referral for the matching lab tests After the conversation you receive a referral that you can submit to your private insurer.

Many private insurers cover the cost in full or in part – some not at all. That depends entirely on your policy. We support you through the process as best we can.
