A simple, gentle blood test for any child — done from the comfort of home, or in clinic. Especially kind to children who find needles or clinics difficult.
Every child is welcome
Nutritional imbalances — in vitamins, iron, minerals and thyroid hormones — can quietly affect any child's mood, energy, focus and sleep. A simple blood screen helps rule these out early.
"I just want to make sure my child is getting everything they need." Vitamin D, iron and B12 deficiencies are far more common in children than most parents realise — and easy to miss without testing.
Before exploring anything else, it's worth ruling out whether a nutritional or thyroid imbalance is a contributing factor. This screen covers the most common culprits — quickly and gently.
Low iron, vitamin D, magnesium and zinc are known to affect attention and energy in any child — and are worth checking and optimising alongside any existing ADHD management. This test does not diagnose ADHD.
Many parents find it useful to screen for nutritional factors that may be affecting their child's mood or sleep, separately from their diagnosis. This is a wellness screen only — it does not test for or diagnose any neurodevelopmental condition.
The Tasso device has no visible needle at any point. Most children barely notice it. Done at home, in a familiar space, it's a completely different experience from a clinic blood draw — for any child who finds that difficult.
If your child has recently started vitamins, dietary changes, or new medication, a baseline screen — and a follow-up a few months later — shows what's actually working. Simply book a second test when you're ready.

Your sample arrives at Alderley Lighthouse Labs (UKAS-accredited) and is processed within 2–3 working days.
A clinician reviews your child's results before they're released. If anything needs prompt attention, we will contact you directly.
You receive a clear, jargon-free report explaining what each result means — with specific recommendations where results are outside the optimal range.
A follow-up consultation with a Lambert GP is available to go through the results together — recommended if any markers require action.
This panel screens for common nutritional imbalances that affect any child's mood, energy, focus and sleep. It does not diagnose ADHD, autism, Tourette Syndrome, or any other condition. Results should be considered alongside — and never instead of — your child's existing diagnosis, therapy, or clinical care. If you have specific concerns about your child's development, please speak to your GP or specialist.
