Bone Health Blood Test — Bone Profile & Calcium Balance Check | Boost & Glow

You can't feel your bones weakening. But a simple blood test can show you what's happening before it becomes a problem.

Bone loss is silent. There are no symptoms, no pain, and no warning signs — until a fracture happens. By the time osteoporosis is diagnosed, significant density has often already been lost. The earlier you understand your bone health, the more power you have to protect it.

The Bone Profile test measures five key markers to give you a clear, clinically accurate picture of your bone strength, calcium balance, and the hormonal and nutritional factors that underpin your skeletal health — all from a single blood test.

What does the Bone Profile test check?

• Calcium — the primary mineral responsible for bone strength and density; abnormal levels can indicate bone disease, parathyroid issues, or nutritional deficiencies
• Corrected Calcium — calcium adjusted for albumin levels to give a more accurate true reading; essential for clinical precision
• Phosphate — works in close partnership with calcium to build and maintain bone mineral density; imbalances affect bone formation and strength
• Albumin — the main protein in blood, used to correct calcium readings and also a marker of overall nutritional status and liver health
• ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) — an enzyme produced by bone cells and the liver; elevated levels can indicate increased bone turnover, bone disease, or liver dysfunction

Together, these five markers give a targeted and meaningful assessment of the biological processes that determine how strong and resilient your bones are right now.

Who is this test for?

This test is ideal for anyone who:

• Is concerned about osteoporosis or has a family history of bone disease or fractures
• Is postmenopausal, as oestrogen loss accelerates bone density reduction significantly
• Has been on long-term corticosteroids, which are known to deplete bone density over time
• Follows a restrictive diet, is vegan, or has a history of eating disorders that may have affected calcium and nutrient intake
• Has coeliac disease, Crohn's, or another condition affecting nutrient absorption
• Is experiencing unexplained muscle cramps, weakness, or tingling — all potential signs of calcium imbalance
• Takes calcium or vitamin D supplements and wants to monitor levels accurately
• Has been referred for a DEXA scan and wants supporting blood markers
• Simply wants a proactive baseline check of their bone and mineral health

The bone health window most people miss

Peak bone mass is reached in your late twenties. After that, it's about maintenance — and for women, the rate of loss accelerates sharply around the menopause. The decade between 40 and 50 is often when the most important protective action can be taken, yet most people don't think about bone health until a fracture forces the conversation. This test gives you the information you need to act while action still makes the biggest difference.
