Which heart testfits you?
Your Baseline already has standard cholesterol. These go further.
If you want the full picture beyond standard cholesterol
ApoB, ApoA1, Lp(a) and homocysteine, beyond standard cholesterol. · $199
If homocysteine is the one marker you want
Homocysteine Test
The heart and B-vitamin marker a standard cholesterol test skips. · $59
You're here
If tiredness is the main question
Two of the B vitamins that clear homocysteine. · $139
What it can help explain.
Your body clears homocysteine using vitamin B12, folate and B6. So a high result often points to one of them running low, even when your other results look fine.
Your B vitamins
Your body uses B12, folate and B6 to clear homocysteine, so a high level can point to one of them running low.
Heart health
Raised homocysteine is linked to heart and blood vessel health, and a standard cholesterol test doesn't check it.
Family history
If heart problems run in your family, homocysteine adds another piece to the picture.
Your other results
Kidney function and your full blood count, both in your Baseline, help explain a high result.
1 marker, in one blood draw.
Every result is explained in plain English in the Vively app, next to your Baseline results.

What's in the BaselineA GP in our network reviews your request and confirms which markers are clinically right for you.
How it works.
- Order with your membership
Pay for the test and your first month together, in one checkout.
- We arrange your referral
A short telehealth call with a GP in our network, included. They issue your Baseline and Homocysteine Test referrals together.
- Take your test
Go to any of 3,700+ partner collection centres, with no booking needed. Usually homocysteine comes from the same blood draw as your Baseline.
- See your results
Results arrive in the app, next to your Baseline. After your Baseline, a 30-minute session with your dietitian builds your plan.
Before your test.
Fasting
8 to 12 hours
A big protein meal can lift homocysteine for several hours, and your Baseline in the same draw is a fasting test too. Water is fine.
If you're unwell
Wait until you've recovered
An illness can shift your result, so test once you're well.
Supplements and medicines
Keep taking them
B12, folic acid and B6 lower homocysteine, and some medicines raise it. Tell the GP in our network what you take.
After your results.
- Your numbers, against optimal

Questions people ask us.
Can I just buy the test on its own?
No, it's for Vively members. Homocysteine makes more sense next to the rest of your health. Your membership includes the Baseline Health Check, a blood test covering 70+ markers, so this result sits in context, next to your kidney function, blood count and cholesterol.
Why not just ask my GP?
Your GP tests what's needed to look into a symptom or manage a condition. Vively adds a 70+ marker Baseline Health Check, results read against optimal ranges, and a dietitian to help you act on them. We arrange the GP referral for you, so you don't need a separate appointment.
What if I'm already a member?
Add the Homocysteine Test in the Vively app. You won't pay for the membership again.
Do I need to see my own GP first?
No. You still need a referral, but we arrange it. A GP in our network issues it after a short telehealth consult, together with your Baseline referral, at no extra cost.
Is this test covered by Medicare?
Not through Vively. Add-on tests are private tests. Your Baseline Health Check is included in your membership.
Do I need to fast?
Yes, if you can. Fast for 8 to 12 hours, with water allowed, as a large protein meal can lift homocysteine for several hours. Your Baseline in the same draw is a fasting test too.
What does a high result mean?
It often points to low B12, folate or B6, and kidney function can play a part too. It's one piece of your heart health, read with your cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose and family history. A GP can advise on next steps.
Is it in the Longevity Panel?
Yes. The Longevity Panel checks homocysteine with ApoB, ApoA1 and Lp(a), for $199. Choose this test if homocysteine is the one marker you want.
