How we researched this review

This review is built from SiPhox Health's own product pages, pricing data, instructions, terms and refund policy (all read on September 29, 2026), published research on upper-arm blood collection, and the 20 most recent one-star plus a sample of five-star Trustpilot reviews. We say where SiPhox's own pages disagree with each other. See how we review.

Verdict in 60 seconds

SiPhox Health is the best option we have found if you want a broad blood panel without a needle and without leaving the house. The default Longevity Essentials panel covers 31 biomarkers, including the heart markers most standard physicals skip (ApoB, Lp(a) and hs-CRP), and the membership lets you retest every month, three months or six months while switching panels as you go.

It is not the cheapest way to get a very large number of markers once a year. Function Health and Superpower give you around 150 to 160 markers a year for $349 to $365, but that is a venous draw with a needle, usually at a Quest lab or with a phlebotomist who comes to you. SiPhox wins on convenience and on how often you can test; the lab-draw memberships win on raw markers per dollar.

SiPhox Health panels and prices

SiPhox sells one membership billed per test. Every test includes one EasyDraw kit for one panel. Four panels are included in the base price and you can switch between them each time; two larger panels cost extra per test. Prices below were read from SiPhox's pricing pages on September 29, 2026.

Panel Biomarkers per test Upgrade cost Per test, with shipping Cost per biomarker
Longevity Essentials 31 Included $149 $4.81
Heart & Metabolic 28 Included $149 $5.32
Thyroid Focus 21 Included $149 $7.10
Hormone Focus 14 Included $149 $10.64
Ultimate 360 62 +$125 $274 $4.42
GLP Optimization 46 +$75 $224 $4.87
  • Base price: $124 per test plus $25 US shipping ($50 to Canada), so $149 per test all-in.
  • First test: SiPhox advertises $99 plus shipping for new members, then renewals at $124 plus shipping.
  • How often: you choose monthly, quarterly or every six months, and it renews automatically on that schedule until you cancel.
  • Add-ons per test: complete blood count +$45, IGF-1 +$70, or both for $100. Stackable Hormone+, Thyroid+ and Metabolic+ add-ons are $50 each.
  • No membership: each core panel is also sold as a one-off kit for $149, and Ultimate 360 for $274.
SiPhox Longevity Essentials: what a year costs
1 test$1242 tests (every 6 months)$2734 tests (quarterly)$57112 tests (monthly)$1,763

Our arithmetic from SiPhox prices checked 29 Sep 2026: first test $99 + $25 shipping, then $124 + $25 shipping per test. From year two, quarterly costs $596.

Worked example: tracking ApoB and HbA1c every quarter

Say Maria, 45, has an LDL of 130 mg/dL on her last physical and wants to watch ApoB and HbA1c while she changes her diet. On SiPhox she tests Longevity Essentials four times in year one: $124 for the first test plus 3 x $149 = $571, or $596 a year after that. That buys four readings of each of 31 markers, 124 results in all, at about $4.60 each. If she swaps the fourth test for Ultimate 360 to add kidney, liver, iron and B12 once a year, the year costs $124 + $149 + $149 + $274 = $696. Function Health's $365 membership includes two draws a year, so it gives her far more markers but only half as many ApoB readings.

Our SiPhox cost guide works out the yearly cost at each cadence, and the discount code page lists which offers actually work.

How the SiPhox EasyDraw test works

  1. Order and pick a panel. No doctor's referral is needed. The kit ships within about 3 days and arrives in 3 to 5.
  2. Prepare. Drink about 16 oz of water 20 to 60 minutes before, warm up with some light exercise, and hold the included heat pack on your arm for 4 minutes.
  3. Collect. Stick the EasyDraw on the outside of your upper arm, roughly ten finger-widths below the top of the shoulder, and press the lever. Blood starts to flow within 30 to 90 seconds. Remove it when the tube is three-quarters full or after 5 minutes. Bigger panels include more than one device and every device in the kit must be used.
  4. Ship it cold, overnight. The kit includes a cold pack and an insulated mailer. Drop it at a staffed FedEx location the same day, Monday to Thursday before 4pm. FedEx drop boxes are not allowed.
  5. Get results. SiPhox quotes 7 to 10 days after the lab receives the sample. You get an email, a dashboard in the app and a downloadable PDF.

A live collection coach is available on video to walk you through the draw, and many five-star reviews mention this call. For more on the device and on avoiding a failed draw, read our EasyDraw guide.

Step by step: what the EasyDraw kit looks like

SiPhox publishes photos of the kit and the app, and its instruction pages list every item in the box. Here is what arrives and what each part is for, based on SiPhox's EasyDraw instructions and partner kit list.

1. The box and what is inside

Contents of a SiPhox EasyDraw kit laid out: collection device, tubes, heat pack, cold pack and return mailer

Item What it is for
EasyDraw device(s) The upper-arm collector. One per tube; Ultimate 360 and other big panels ship more than one, and every one must be used.
Capillary collection tubes Clip into the device and hold the sample. Use a fresh tube for each device.
Heat pack Held on the arm for 4 minutes to bring blood to the surface. Skipping it is a common cause of a short sample.
Alcohol pad, gauze, bandages Clean the site before, cover it after.
Cold pack and insulated silver bag Keep the sample cool on the way back. The cold pack goes in the fridge (not the freezer) for 8 hours or more before you ship.
Specimen bag, collection card, prepaid FedEx mailer Label and return the sample overnight.
Instruction insert and "virtual phlebotomy" QR card The QR code books the live video call with a collection coach.

2. Putting the device on

Plan the day first: you must drop the kit at a staffed FedEx location the same day, Monday to Thursday before 4pm local time, so put the cold pack in the fridge the night before and collect in the morning. Then:

  1. Drink about 16 oz of water 20 to 60 minutes before and do a few minutes of light exercise.
  2. Hold the heat pack on the outer upper arm for 4 minutes, then clean the spot with the alcohol pad and let it dry.
  3. Place the device about ten finger-widths below the top of the shoulder, press it firmly and push the lever. The button turns green.
  4. Watch the tube: blood should appear within 30 to 90 seconds. Take the device off when the tube is three-quarters full or after 5 minutes, whichever comes first.
  5. If the kit has a second or third device, repeat with a fresh tube on a new spot.

5 minMaximum per device

3. Shipping it back

Cap the tube, seal it in the specimen bag with the collection card, pack it in the silver bag with the chilled cold pack, and take the prepaid mailer to a staffed FedEx counter. Drop boxes are not allowed, because the sample must travel overnight while it is still cold. One customer on Reddit reports being told of a 12-day collection window before a kit is treated as unreliable, and another Trustpilot reviewer complained the expiry date is not printed on the kit, so use it within a few days of arrival rather than leaving it in a drawer.

4. Reading the results

You get an email when results are ready, usually 7 to 10 days after the lab receives the sample. Each marker is shown against a reference range and an "optimal" band, grouped by body system, with a trend line once you have more than one test. The PDF export lists the values in a table you can hand to your doctor, which is the step we recommend for anything flagged high or low.

From order to results: typical days per step

Upper ends of the ranges SiPhox quotes on its how-it-works, FAQ and EasyDraw instruction pages, checked 29 Sep 2026. Our arithmetic: about 2 to 3 weeks from order to results.

What the Longevity Essentials panel measures

This is the default panel and the one most people start with. SiPhox counts 31 biomarkers per test, including calculated ratios; some markers are measured only for men or only for women.

Area Biomarkers
Heart ApoB, Lipoprotein (a), Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, Calculated LDL cholesterol, Triglycerides, VLDL cholesterol, ApoA1, ApoB:ApoA1 ratio, LDL-C:ApoB ratio, LDL-C:HDL-C ratio, Total cholesterol:HDL ratio
Metabolic HbA1c, Estimated average glucose, C-peptide, Triglycerides:HDL ratio, Cortisol
Inflammation hs-CRP
Thyroid TSH
Hormones Total testosterone (men), Free testosterone, calculated (men), SHBG (men), DHEA-S, Estradiol, sensitive (women), FSH (women), LH (women), LH:FSH ratio (women), Testosterone:cortisol ratio, Cortisol:DHEA-S ratio
Nutrition Vitamin D (25-OH), Ferritin
Blood Hemoglobin, Hematocrit (calculated)

Two things stand out. First, ApoB and Lp(a) are included by default; both are recommended by recent cardiology guidance but are rarely on a routine physical. Second, there is no fasting insulin, glucose, homocysteine or kidney and liver panel on this one. If you want kidney and liver markers, switch to Heart & Metabolic for a test, or pay for Ultimate 360 once a year.

Accuracy and the lab

SiPhox says samples are analyzed by CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited partner labs and that its tests show a 95% to 99% correlation with standard venous draws, based on in-house comparisons against Labcorp and Quest run every quarter. It does not name the lab, and we could not find a peer-reviewed study of the EasyDraw device itself. SiPhox's own accuracy page notes that concordance can vary by biomarker.

There is independent evidence that this style of device works. A 2025 study of Labcorp's similar upper-arm vacuum device collected about 538 microliters on average and found 17 of 19 common chemistry tests within CLIA accuracy limits, with glucose and potassium the exceptions. That is one reason we like that SiPhox leaves glucose off the EasyDraw panels and uses HbA1c instead.

What this means for you

Treat SiPhox results the way you would treat any single lab result: useful for tracking a trend, and worth confirming with a venous test through your doctor if a number is far outside the range or you plan to change medication because of it.

Results, app and follow-up

SiPhox Health results dashboard showing biomarker scores on a laptop

Results land in a web dashboard and an iOS app (rated 4.8 from 80 ratings on the US App Store). You get scores by body system, a personalized action plan, supplement suggestions, an AI assistant called Sai, and the option to upload results from other labs and sync more than 300 wearables.

No doctor reviews your results by default. SiPhox describes itself as a wellness service that does not diagnose or treat disease. A results review with a health expert costs $50 per test, and a one-off coaching call is $50. People on the Heart & Metabolic panel who want medication management can opt in to an independent telehealth group in covered states.

What customers say

On September 29, 2026 SiPhox had a 4.7 out of 5 rating from about 950 Trustpilot reviews: 84% five-star and 8% one-star. The praise is consistent: painless collection, a helpful live collection call, and a clear dashboard. Needle-phobic buyers are especially positive.

SiPhox Health on Trustpilot: share of reviews by star rating
5 stars84 %4 stars4 %3 stars2 %2 stars2 %1 star8 %

Trustpilot, about 950 reviews, read 29 Sep 2026. Earlier in 2026 search snippets showed 4.5 from about 580 reviews, so the score has risen as volume grew.

Two cautions about that score. Many recent five-star reviews name the live collection coach, which suggests reviews are requested right after the call, before results arrive. And a 4.7 average still means roughly 76 one-star reviews out of 950 (our arithmetic from the 8% share), so the complaints below are not rare one-offs.

We read the 20 most recent one-star reviews (May to September 2026). The recurring themes were:

Complaint Mentions in 20 one-star reviews
Support hard to reach 9
Results slower than quoted (14 to 28 days) 8
Billing and renewal disputes 6

Multiple draws for Ultimate 360 not made clear 3
What the 20 latest one-star reviews complain about

Our count from the 20 most recent one-star Trustpilot reviews, May to Sep 2026. One review can raise several complaints.

Most of these are avoidable if you know about them: follow the warm-up steps, ship Monday to Thursday, set a reminder before each renewal, and expect several devices if you order Ultimate 360. The is SiPhox legit page covers the company side.

Pros and cons

What we like
  • No needle and no lab visit, with a live coach for the draw
  • ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP and HbA1c on the default panel
  • Retest monthly, quarterly or twice a year and switch panels each time
  • Cold, overnight return shipping
  • Serves New Jersey and Rhode Island, which some rivals exclude
  • HSA and FSA eligible; one-off kits if you do not want a membership
What we do not like
  • Fewer markers per dollar per year than Function Health or Superpower
  • No doctor review included
  • 7 to 10 day turnaround, and some customers wait longer
  • Failed or partial draws happen; no refund once a kit ships
  • Not available in New York or Hawaii
  • Its own pages disagree on some counts (Ultimate 360 is listed as 60, 62 and 65)

Our arithmetic: yearly price divided by biomarker results, from prices checked 29 Sep 2026. SiPhox Longevity is $124 + 3 x $149 = $571 for 124 results. Rythm uses the reported $100 all-in for 27 markers.

The chart shows the trade clearly. Per result, the lab-draw memberships are about half the price of SiPhox, because they test 150 to 160 markers at once. SiPhox's price per result is in the same band as Everlywell 360 and well under InsideTracker, and it is the only one of these that is both needle-free and broad. If you would retest the same 30 markers four times a year anyway, compare the ApoB or HbA1c readings you get, not the total marker count: four readings on SiPhox versus two on Function Health or Superpower.

Read the head-to-heads: SiPhox vs Function Health, SiPhox vs Superpower, SiPhox vs InsideTracker and SiPhox vs Rythm Health. Or run the numbers yourself in the cost per biomarker calculator.

SiPhox quotes 7 to 10 days after the lab receives your sample. Some customers report 14 days or longer, so allow two weeks.

Is SiPhox covered by insurance?

No, SiPhox does not bill insurance. You can pay with an HSA or FSA card.

Can I cancel SiPhox any time?

Yes, you can cancel or change your cadence from your account. Kits that have already shipped are not refundable, so cancel before your next renewal date.

Which states does SiPhox not serve?
