What is this Profile?
It is composed of collagen and looks for a protein that provides strength and calcium phosphate, a mineralised combination that strengthens it. For instance, markers can identify illnesses such as osteoporosis or other abnormalities.
This kit is a safe and effective way to assess and calculate your body’s minerals, enzymes, and proteins to determine your health.
7 BioMarkers:
- Bicarbonate: measures how much carbon dioxide.
- Urea: measures the amount of urea nitrogen.
- Creatinine: measures how your kidneys are performing in filtering waste.
- Calcium: measures the amount of calcium.
- Phosphate: a chemical that contains the mineral phosphorus. In other words, it is essential for growth.
- ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase): This measures whether you have any ongoing liver, gallbladder or disease.
- Albumin: measures how much hormone is available to your tissues.
Sample Management
Please take your sample in the morning and bring it at least one hour before taking any medication.
However, the best way is to hand your sample to the post office rather than put it in the Red Street box. Sometimes, pick up from the box doesn’t happen for 1-3 days. However, samples that arrive in poor condition are destroyed.
But if you cannot make a good home sample, you can visit our clinic, where we will help you for free. Remember, we are here to help you. Moreover, we take the time because we care. We process your samples more quickly than other labs. Lastly, we want you to know that we have a genuine team and regard all customers as family. But you have WhatsApp support if you need us for your sampling.
Why choose us?

Then, drop off the Kit in the morning at the Royal Mail Red Street Box. Use the Track24/48 Return Label to the Lab.
Lastly, once your results are ready, we will send you an email with your Result. Also you can view the report in your Dashboard.
What are the Instructions for use?
Please take your Bone Profile Blood test sample in the morning. Furthermore, please bring it at least one hour before any medication.
For instructions, view the PDF here on how to make a sample at home.
How long do the results take?
We target a turnaround time for the results of 1-3 working days of receiving them in the laboratory. Above all, the turnaround time is a guide and sometimes depends on assay run schedules.
Please take your sample from Monday to Thursday to avoid delivery delays at the lab.
What is the Shipping & Return Policy?
We have a 14-day return policy, which means you have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To Qualify for any return, the Home Kit must be in the same condition as when you received it. It is not used, not opened, unworn, and in its original packaging. You will also need to send it to us with the receipt or proof of purchase.
Please return to Medicines Online, 89 Falcon Rd, London. SW11 2PF
You can read our full return Bone Kit policy here:

What are the Common Questions?
-
Q: What are they made of?
- A: They are strong, rigid structures of proteins and minerals such as calcium.
-
Q: How do they work?
- A: They give your body form and structure and allow you to move around.
-
Q: Can you have problems with them?
- A: Problems include breaking, infections, and tumours.
-
Q: What is osteoporosis?
- A: Osteoporosis means “porous bones.” This occurs for several reasons. About 62% of your bone density results from genetics — you may never have had dense bones.
- Q: I feel fine, quite healthy and exercise daily, so do I have to worry about osteoporosis?
- A: Since you build all the body you will ever have by 30, much of your health depends on your genetics and how well you built the density during those teenage years.
- Q: If I have family members with osteoporosis, will I also develop osteoporosis?
- A: A strong family history of osteoporosis is associated with an increased risk of developing osteoporosis.
Interpretations
What is the Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier?
Technology Method:
Fully automatic biochemistry analyser
Limit of Detection:
- Urea: 0.9 mmol/L
- Creatinine: 22 umol/L
- Phosphate: 1 mmol/L
- Bicarbonate: 0.749 mmol/L
- Albumin: 10 g/L
- ALP: 1 U/L
- Calcium: 1.00 mmol/L
Accuracy and Precision:
- Urea: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
- Creatinine: The approximate error is < ± 15%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3.62%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 4.12%.
- Phosphate: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 10%.
- Bicarbonate: The within-assay CV is ≤ 3.93%. The total precision is ≤ 7.86%.
- Albumin: The approximate error is < ± 4%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
- ALP: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 1.10%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 1.83%.
- Calcium: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
Measuring Ranges:
- Urea: 0.9~35.7 mmol/L
- Creatinine: 22~3000 umol/L
- Phosphate: 0~4.0 mmol/L
- Bicarbonate: 0.749~47.1 mmol/L
- Albumin: 10~60 g/L
- ALP: 1~1200 U/L
- Calcium: 1.00~3.75 mmol/L
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy relies on the approximate error percentage. This percentage is the percentage deviation from the actual result. The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
Urea: 2.9~8.2 mmol/L
Creatinine:
- Females: 35~80 umol/L
- Males: 44~97 umol/L
Phosphate: 0.81~1.45 mmol/L
Bicarbonate:
- Arterial: 21~28 mmol/L
- Venous: 22~29 mmol/L
Albumin: 34~48 g/L
ALP:
- Females
- Aged 20~50 years old: 42-98 U/L
- Greater than 60 years old: 53~141 U/L
- Males aged 20~50 years old: 53-128 U/L
