FUNCTION HEALTH · ALTERNATIVE
THE SHORT ANSWER
The best Function Health alternative for UK customers is a UK product, because Function Health is a US subscription ($365/year, as advertised, checked 2026-07-11) that is not yet live in the UK. Helvy is the curated UK option, from £99, with results explained in plain English and a supplement plan built on them. If you want the widest possible marker count above all else, a broad UK catalogue like Medichecks is the honest pick below.
The intent
Function Health is a US wellness subscription: $365 for the first year (as advertised, checked 2026-07-11), covering 100+ lab tests plus a 60+ marker mid-year re-test, with clinician review and a personalised action plan. Its headline is breadth.
The reason UK customers look for an alternative is simple: Function Health is a US product. Function Health UK was incorporated in November 2025 (Companies House 16849907) but the UK product is not yet live as of mid-2026, and the US service uses US laboratories and US reference ranges.
Helvy is the UK alternative available today: finger-prick at home, UKAS-accredited UK laboratories to ISO 15189, results in five days read against published optimal ranges, and a supplement plan routed from the pattern. Different shape (curated, not 100+ markers), same job of turning bloods into an action.

FUNCTION HEALTH STRENGTHS
An alternative is only worth switching to if it fits you better. Where Function Health is the stronger choice, this says so plainly.
Stay where you are if
Function Health is the right choice, not an alternative, if you live in the US and want the widest possible marker spread for a flat annual fee, and you are happy to interpret the data with your physician. The 100+ marker breadth and the included mid-year re-test are real, and the clinician review plus action plan add routing.
Helvy is the alternative for UK customers who want a UK product today: UK labs, UK reference ranges, UK data handling under UK GDPR, results that end in a plain-English read and a supplement plan. When Function Health UK launches the comparison will sharpen; until then, Helvy is the UK option that is actually available.
