Are there any (accurate) kits one can collect micro amounts of blood from home rather than venipuncture at a lab?
@RTHR anyone suggest NAC for the usual relate limiting part of making more glutathione? Did you have any symptons besides a vague osin after one iof the supplements?

Thank you very much. Looks promising. Had I known I might have tried this instead of the order i just placed for ZRT cardiometabolite panel (not sure i trust ZRT accuracy on dried blood. For saliva they are good).
On your links, looks like sone can be ordered just twice a year and i think one of them just once. The tests i want look like i would need are only in the complete most expensive panel. (All the liver enzymes plus albumin) is 249 each minimum of 2 but then it looks like theres a coupon for 150 off. So basically 350 for two tests which isnt bad except I am not fond of not getting the second kit 6 mo after i pay for it rather than whenever i want it.
One smallish red flag is for sone tests, can choose finger stick or shoulder device. From what i read though in papers, dried blood on Dried Blood Spot and from microtainer do not give identical results. Good Reference ranges on tests are often hard to cone by.
I posted i recently tested with Iollo (uses shoulder draw byTasso). While it has some interesting metabolic markers, i cannot recommend it at this time. Greedy company that cares little for accuracy and false advertising on what you get for the hefty $400 price tag.
