Metabolic

HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)

HbA1c monitoring is increasingly important with age as diabetes risk rises. Regular testing supports early intervention and helps maintain metabolic health in later years.

Learn more
Metabolic

Glucose (Fasting)

Fasting glucose regulation can change with age. Regular monitoring supports diabetes prevention and metabolic stability for healthy ageing.

Learn more
Metabolic

Insulin (Fasting)

Insulin sensitivity naturally decreases with age. Monitoring fasting insulin supports early intervention and metabolic health maintenance in later years.

Learn more
Liver

Amylase

Amylase monitoring is important for seniors, as pancreatic function may change with age. Regular testing helps detect digestive health changes early.

Learn more
Liver

Lipase

Lipase monitoring is important for older adults, as pancreatic enzyme production may decrease with age, potentially affecting fat digestion and nutrient absorption. Regular testing helps identify age-related changes in pancreatic function early.

Learn more
Liver

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)

An ALT blood test measures alanine aminotransferase, an enzyme that sits mainly in the liver. If it ends up in the blood, liver cells have been damaged. In men the limit is 45 u/l, in women 34 u/l. For anyone losing weight this is one of the most useful values on the report. Fatty liver is the most common cause of a mildly raised number. And it is exactly the value that comes down as you lose weight.

Learn more
Cardiovascular

LDL Cholesterol

LDL cholesterol is the cholesterol inside the particles that can build up in your artery wall. If you lose weight, that value eventually falls, but almost never first and almost never in a straight line. That surprises many people. In the first weeks of a programme your LDL can even come out higher than at the start, while your triglycerides have already dropped sharply. Nothing has gone wrong: you are measuring a body mid-change, not the end result. This page shows what moves in which phase, when to re-measure to see anything meaningful, and why your result belongs next to your own starting value rather than next to the limit printed on the page.

Learn more
Cardiovascular

Triglycerides

Triglyceride management is important for cardiovascular health as metabolic efficiency changes with age. Regular monitoring supports heart and metabolic health in later years.

Learn more
Minerals

Ferritin

Your ferritin level shows how much iron you have in store, but during a weight-loss programme it measures something else too. Excess weight involves low-grade inflammation, and ferritin rises in response as an acute-phase protein. Your starting value is therefore often higher than your actual iron store justifies. As you lose weight that inflammation subsides and your ferritin falls with it, even if nothing about your iron changes. That makes a falling value during weight loss usually a good sign. It does mean, though, that a deficiency previously masked only becomes visible now.

Learn more
Vitamins

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is considered especially important for older adults, as absorption may decline with age. Low levels have been associated with cognitive changes and anaemia. Regular monitoring may help healthcare providers support healthy ageing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get my blood drawn in Amsterdam?

You can get your blood drawn at 19 certified locations in Amsterdam. 2 locations offer walk-in hours. See the addresses and opening hours per location above. The next opening under the standard hours is at Medisch Centrum Gelderlandplein (opens tomorrow 07:00).

Do I need a referral for a blood test in Amsterdam?

No, with SlimmerLab you don't need a referral from your doctor. You can order a blood test online and choose a location in Amsterdam.

Can I walk in without an appointment in Amsterdam?

2 of the 19 locations in Amsterdam offer walk-in service. Check the details per location above.

Do I need to book an appointment for a blood draw in Amsterdam?

It depends on the location. 2 of the 19 locations in Amsterdam offer walk-in hours, so no appointment is needed there. For the other locations you simply book a time slot after ordering online.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?

It depends on the test. Each test says whether fasting is needed, and after ordering the instructions for your tests are in your confirmation email and on your order page. Drinking water is always allowed.

What do I need to bring to the blood draw location in Amsterdam?

Two things: the barcode we email you and a valid form of ID. You can show the barcode on your phone, so printing is not necessary. Nothing else is needed. The barcode tells the location in Amsterdam which tests were ordered.

How far in advance should I plan my visit in Amsterdam?

Allow one working day between your order and your visit in Amsterdam. The email with your barcode arrives within one working day, and you cannot be seen without it. Orders placed outside office hours count from the next working day. The blood draw itself takes about fifteen minutes.

What are the opening hours of the blood draw locations in Amsterdam?

Opening hours vary per location. Most locations in Amsterdam are open on weekday mornings; some also in the afternoon or on Saturdays. Check the current opening hours per location above.

Which laboratory performs the blood draw in Amsterdam?

Blood draws in Amsterdam are handled by Atalmedial and Labplusarts. Each draw site operates independently and is certified; you order your blood test online and choose your location at checkout.

What does a blood test cost?

With SlimmerLab you can order a blood test from €64,-, including the blood draw in Amsterdam and a doctor's review of your results. You pay for the test yourself and need no referral; if your GP orders the test, your health insurance usually covers it.

How quickly will I get my blood test results?

Most results are ready in your online account within a few working days. Each test shows its expected turnaround time up front, and you are notified as soon as your results are available.

Are the phlebotomy points in Amsterdam owned by SlimmerLab?

No, all phlebotomy points are operated by independent, certified laboratories. We partner with them to facilitate blood draws. Have questions? Please contact us directly, not the laboratory.

What is the best time to get blood drawn in Amsterdam?

12 of the 19 draw sites in Amsterdam only open in the morning; the draw site that stays open longest closes at 16:00. For a fasting test, the morning is therefore the practical choice: you get up, get your blood drawn, and eat breakfast afterwards.

How does getting blood drawn work in Amsterdam?

You order your blood test online and receive your barcode by e-mail within one working day. You then take it to a draw site in Amsterdam for the draw itself, which takes about fifteen minutes. Once the lab is done, your results, with a doctor's assessment, appear in your account.

Where can I get a private blood test in Amsterdam?

With SlimmerLab you can order a private blood test with no referral, from €64,-. You choose from 19 draw sites in Amsterdam, and every result is reviewed by a BIG-registered doctor.

Can I get a blood test at a pharmacy in Amsterdam?

No. In the Netherlands blood is drawn at laboratory collection points, not at pharmacies. In Amsterdam you choose one of 19 collection points run by our partner laboratories; you order online, receive a barcode by email and bring it with a valid ID.

How do I prepare for a blood test in Amsterdam?

Bring your barcode and a valid ID. Some tests need you to fast: the product page says so, and then you eat nothing after midnight and drink only water. Otherwise, eat and drink normally.

All phlebotomy points are operated by independent, certified laboratories. We partner with them to provide you with a reliable blood draw experience. These locations are not owned by SlimmerLab.

Have questions about your order, results, or the blood draw process? Please contact us directly, not the laboratory. We are happy to help.
