Do you already get yearly bloodwork?
Ask your doctor to add ApoB and Lp(a) first. Insurance may cover it.
Will you act on the results?
A test only helps if you or your doctor will do something with it.
Thinking about a full-body MRI?
The American College of Radiology doesn’t recommend it for healthy adults. About 1 in 3 people get an incidental finding.

Unclear: here’s what’s missing
UNCLEARLabcorp OnDemand
Cheapest single tests, but it doesn’t publish which states are excluded. You’re told at checkout.
UNCLEARFunction Health
$365 is the first-year price and the renewal isn’t published. Add-on upsells, and no refunds.
LEANS FAILSuperpower
Sells supplements, peptides and prescriptions on top of the test.
LEANS FAILTruDiagnostic
Biological-age clocks can’t guide personal decisions yet. Long result delays reported.
Full-body MRI
Skip for healthy adults
SKIPPrenuvo
No accreditation standard for whole-body screening, and about 1 in 3 people get an incidental finding. From $1,199.
SKIPEzra (now Function)
Same evidence problem. The base scan skips chest, heart and colon, and the price rose from $499 to $999.
What people ask
Is Function Health worth it?
It’s $365 for the first year: 160+ tests over two draws at Quest labs, with a clinician summary. Worth it if you want breadth and tracking. The four highest-evidence numbers cost about $180 on their own. The renewal price isn’t published, and there are no refunds.
Is Function Health HSA or FSA eligible?
Function says yes. Quest and Labcorp OnDemand accept HSA and FSA cards too, and so does Mito. Your plan administrator has the final say.
Can a blood test detect cancer?
Not these ones. Routine panels measure heart, metabolic and organ markers. Cancer screening is a separate decision with its own trade-offs, so talk to your doctor about what applies to you.
Does Function Health sell your data?
Function publishes a privacy policy and a separate consumer health data notice, as do Quest and Everlywell. We can only tell you what they publish, so read them before you buy.
Is ApoB better than LDL?
ApoB counts the particles that actually enter artery walls, so it tracks risk more closely than LDL cholesterol in many people. We decoded it here: longevitycoded.com/decoded/apob-test/.
Which states can’t buy these tests?
Quest names Arizona, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Superpower doesn’t serve 9 states. InsideTracker needs a paid mobile draw in several states. Labcorp tells you at checkout. Always check before you pay.
How we make money
Some “Check US price” links may earn us a commission. Brands can’t pay for a pass, a rank or a rating, and we list options that pay us nothing when they’re better for you.
