Function Health Membership
Function Health provides unprecedented value by offering over 100 biomarkers—including advanced cardiovascular and hormonal markers—for a flat annual fee. The use of venous draws at Quest Diagnostics ensures clinical-grade accuracy that finger-prick tests cannot match.
Quality & Materials
N/A (Service-based), but uses Quest Diagnostics for all processing, ensuring high-standard specimen handling.
Evidence & Testing
All tests are performed in CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratories. Results are reviewed by a network of clinicians.
Brand Transparency
Completely transparent about which biomarkers are tested and provides the raw lab reports alongside their proprietary insights.
Value Assessment
At $499/year for 100+ biomarkers twice a year, the cost per biomarker is approximately $2.50, the lowest in the industry for this depth.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike Everlywell or LetsGetChecked, Function uses venous blood draws which are the gold standard for accuracy. Compared to InsideTracker, Function provides nearly triple the biomarkers for a lower total annual cost.

Ring Gen 3
99.9% accuracy for resting heart rate. Best sleep tracking among wearables. Ring form factor is more comfortable than wrist bands for sleep.
Labcorp OnDemand
Men's Health Test
Labcorp is the gold standard for clinical accuracy because it utilizes venous blood draws at professional centers rather than finger-prick samples, which are prone to hemolysis and contamination. This test provides a comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, and testosterone check with hospital-grade precision.
Thorne
Vitamin D Test
Thorne is a leader in clinical-grade diagnostics, offering a dried blood spot test that has been validated against traditional venous draws. Their reporting is exceptionally detailed, providing actionable insights beyond just a numerical value.
