Please read these instructions carefully before you start:
- Take your blood sample to a post office branch on the day of collection (do not put it in a mailbox).
- Store the sample in the refrigerator until shipping (4–8 °C, do not freeze!).
- The test is only suitable for people aged 18 and over.
- Only perform the test after consulting your doctor if you
- are pregnant or breastfeeding,
- have a blood-clotting disorder, or
- are taking blood-thinning medication. - Do not perform the test if you have a blood-borne disease (e.g., hepatitis or HIV).
- Fill all tubes included in the kit up to the 0.5 ml mark.
- Drink enough water before collecting the sample and avoid coffee or sugary drinks to promote blood flow.
- Activate your test as described in the enclosed instructions – without activation, the laboratory cannot analyze the sample.
- If your test kit contains multiple tubes, repeat steps 1–1 for each tube.
Step 1: Preparation
- Read the entire instructions carefully.
- Prepare all materials: lancets, gauze and disinfectant swabs, sample tubes, bandages, safety bag, and mailing envelope.
- Open the email “Important for your test result: Please activate your test”, as you will need it after collecting the sample.
Step 2 – Blood collection
- Pull the tube cap straight off (do not twist it) and place the tube in the designated recess of the box so that it stands securely.
- Stimulate blood circulation: Hold your hand under warm water for 1 minute, dry it, and move your arm in circles 5–10 times.
- Disinfect the selected finger (preferably the index or middle finger) with the alcohol swab and let it dry briefly.
- Hold the blue-and-white lancet horizontally, twist the protective cap, pull it off, and press the lancet firmly against the fingertip.
- Press firmly and wipe away the first drop of blood with a swab.
- Hold your hand slightly downward and gently massage from the palm toward the fingertip (do not squeeze!).
- Hold your finger over the tube and fill it to the 0.5 ml mark. If necessary, use a second lancet.
- Lightly tap the tube on the table so that the blood flows down.
- Close the tube firmly until you hear a click.
- Slowly invert it 4–5 times so that the blood mixes with the stabilizer.
- Cover the puncture site with a plaster.
Step 3 – Registration & Shipping
- Place the sealed tube in the transparent safety bag and seal it carefully.
- Put the bag in the return envelope and seal it.
- Then open the test activation email and follow the instructions to register your sample.
- Hand in the envelope directly at a post office (do not put it in a mailbox!).
- Once your test has been analyzed in the laboratory, you will be notified by email and can securely access your result online.

What is a capillary blood test, and how does it work?
A capillary blood test is a modern way to test your blood values easily at home. A small lancet is used to collect a drop of blood from your fingertip and apply it to a special test card. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The main advantage: You don’t need a doctor’s appointment—you can conveniently determine your levels yourself, for example, of vitamins, hormones, or nutrients. The mybody® guide to capillary blood tests shows you step by step how to collect and send the sample correctly and access your results digitally.
