Cholesterol & Lipids Test

This product did not work . Filter paper did not diffuse blood to marked line. The person I talk to a customer service sorry can't remember her name was so helpful and sent me another kit and it did work properly it's possible that I did not have enough blood I might have been dehydrated the 2nd time worked perfect waiting for the

I bought this test to do at home within hours of also taking a test at the doctor's office. I wanted to compare results to see how reliable this test was so that I could later use it to keep a better eye on my cholesterol levels in-between annual physicals. I received my results from my doctor a week ago and they were almost exactly what they were last year showing that my cholesterol is holding fairly steady. I received my Everlywell results today, (about 5 days later than the doctor owing to the need to ship samples). Everlywell shows that my triglycerides are 3, almost 4 times higher than my doctor says they are. With such different results, I have to believe that my doctor's results are more accurate- not just because they showed the better number, but because the samples were taken by a trained professional, processed right away instead of sitting in the mail, not exposed to any of the heat or cold they may have experienced in the mail, and also because they are so similar to what they were last year and I don't believe a hospital lab would make nearly the exact same mistake with the same patient two years in a row. Had I gotten the Everlywell results before my doctor's, I would be terrified of that number. According to my doctor, my triglycerides are fantastic. Everlywell's 3, almost 4 times higher number makes it look like I am a heart attack waiting to happen. I won't buy this test again. Even if they only make a mistake on 1 in every 1000 tests, even if the mistake is user error, such inaccurate results can have dangerous results when it comes to someone's health- if not in their cholesterol then in the mental health toll of being scared such inaccuracies are true. If you are worried about your cholesterol in-between physicals, ask your doctor for another test. If you don't have a regular doctor, ask an urgent care doctor.

It was easy to use, results in less days than they promised! Less expensive than a local lab. Will definitely use these again.

Easy directions, easy to collect sample, mail it back and the results are available for you. Just ordered my second test.

The convenience of finding out about your cholesterol without trekking to the Dr. is a good thing. Be sure to find the Instructions FIRST before messing with the needles - one push on them and they are unusable. Also REGISTER as well, so you get your results back. You have to load up the smear with enough so it can be processed. Stay well.

Recently purchased the Everlywell Cholesterol and Lipids Test, an at-home collection kit, with the expectation of conveniently checking my cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, my experience with this product was far from satisfactory. Firstly, the instructions provided were not as clear as I had hoped, making the collection process somewhat challenging. Despite carefully following the procedure, the test results I received were inconclusive, which was quite frustrating. . It's crucial for health-related products to deliver accurate and reliable results, and in this case, the product fell short. The customer service also needs significant improvement, especially when dealing with such sensitive and important health concerns. Upon contacting customer service for a resolution, I was disappointed by their response. I had hoped for a replacement kit or at least some form of assistance to rectify the issue. However, their inability to provide a replacement kit or a satisfactory solution left me feeling let down. The lack of support and the ineffective product have led me to question the reliability of Everlywell's at-home testing kits. I had chosen this product for its convenience and the reputation of Everlywell, but this experience has unfortunately tainted my view of the brand

My doctor verified the accuracy of the test. It's worth the money if you are monitoring your cholesterol.

Great test if you don't mind waiting. Also have to make sure test is up-to-date and all the info is inside the package.
