Frequently Asked Questions

About Aniva

What is Aniva?

Aniva is your personal health operating system — designed to make advanced diagnostics and continuous optimization accessible, clear, and affordable. We test over 100 biomarkers, deliver results with clarity (no medical jargon), and build you a personalized action plan. All of this is wrapped into a single membership that costs less than a just the blood test alone through a traditional doctor.

For €199/year you get:
  • Deep biomarker testing
  • A dynamic action plan that evolves with your results
  • Concierge support to guide you along the way
  • and way more...

Most blood tests look for disease. Ours looks for potential - spotting early signs of nutrient gaps, inflammation, or metabolic changes before they become problems.

Why does it matter?

Most blood tests are designed to look for disease once it’s already there. At Aniva, we look for potential — spotting early signs of nutrient gaps, inflammation, or metabolic changes before they become problems.

Your first test creates a clear health baseline. From there, you’ll receive a personalized action plan and the option to add supplements or repeat tests whenever you choose. You also have continuous access to our concierge chat to answer questions and guide you as your health evolves.

Membership

Does Aniva replace my primary care doctor?

No. Aniva focuses on prevention, personalized diagnostics, and ongoing optimization. It’s designed to complement primary care, not replace it.

For urgent or chronic medical issues outside our scope, continue to work with a primary care physician. After each test, you’ll also have access to a medical consultation to discuss results and next steps.

What does the Aniva Concierge do?

Your Aniva Concierge helps with scheduling your blood draws, navigating add-on diagnostics, answering questions about your plan and supplements, and connecting you with the care team when needed. You can reach out any time for guidance and coordination.

How often should I retest?

Your membership includes a regular follow-up test every 12 months to monitor progress and update your action plan. Depending on goals and changes in your biomarkers, you can add more frequent or targeted re-tests when useful.

How much does Aniva cost?

€199 per year. Up-to-date membership information available here. You can cancel the membership at any time. Just write to us and we will take care of it!

How do the follow-up tests work?

That depends entirely upon you how much you want to test in which frequency. We'll advise you through the action plan what we think makes sense (for most people it's 1-2 tests per year). Follow-up tests can happen both at home or at one of our practices.

At-home tests: We’ll send you an easy-to-use test kit (with a blood sample from your finger) straight to your door. The kit comes with clear instructions and takes around 10 minutes. In some cases, like testing advanced markers, we’ll invite you to a partner lab nearby.

You should not waste your time or money by testing everything again. Instead, our action plan will include lab tests based on these factors:

• What’s critical to monitor over time (e.g., Vitamin D, Omega 3, cholesterol)
• What changed in your last test
• What needs extra attention based on your lifestyle, symptoms, or supplements

Do I need to talk to a doctor to understand the report?

The action plan and biomarkers overview is designed for laypeople, and every marker comes with a personalised recommendation; we still offer optional consultation calls with a physician as a paid add-on if you want deeper clinical context.

Action Plan

Can I adjust my action plan if I experience side effects?

If you experience any side effects or concerns with your action plan, you can contact your healthcare provider through the Aniva platform. Your plan can be adjusted as needed to ensure it works optimally for your body and health goals.

Who is behind my action plan?

The creation of your action plan is done manually, and medical experts are involved. In addition to doctors and researchers who shape the action plans, we also use AI to go over all the data we have from you (mainly your questionnaire answers and blood panel).

How does the action plan look like?

Your Aniva Action Plan is like having a personal health coach—but smarter, data-driven, and built for you. Once your blood test results are ready, we turn all that data into a super clear, personal action plan:

1. Results you understand: We tell you what’s going well and what needs a little help—no confusing words, just clear answers.

2. Supplements: You get daily supplements picked just for you, based on your test results and how you live. They’re sent right to your door.

3. Tips for your daily life: We suggest small changes you can make, like sleeping better, eating healthier, or moving more—things that fit into your routine.

4. Your health dashboard: You can check how you’re doing over time in one spot, seeing what’s getting better with your health.

And the best part? This plan evolves with you! Every 4 months, new blood test → smarter plan → better results. This isn’t a one-time PDF. This is your personal health system.

Supplements

What happens if I miss taking my supplements?

Consistency is important for optimal results. If you occasionally miss doses, continue with your regular schedule. For specific questions about your supplement plan, you can contact us at any time.

Which supplements to you send me?

If you bought the supplements add-on, we'll send you daily supplement packs that are uniquely made for you, based on your health data (anamnesis, biomarkers, wearables, etc.) Your supplement plan changes as your needs do, so it’s always tailored to you.

Do I have to buy supplements?

No. Supplements are not required to be an Aniva member. Your membership already covers the basics you need: biomarker testing, doctor consultations, your evolving action plan, and concierge support.

That said, if you’d like to add supplements as part of your plan, you can easily do so through our services section in the app. It’s optional and entirely up to you.

Blood Test

Can I order additional tests beyond the yearly test?

Yes. Beyond your baseline Core panel, you can buy add-on diagnostics such as advanced hormone panels, omega fatty acid profiles, environmental toxins, STDs, allergies, and more. We’ll advise which options make sense based on your previous lab results and health goals.

Where are the blood draws done?

You can check out our accredited practices located in major cities. You can see the closest option and book directly through our app during your onboarding.

How is Aniva different from a doctor’s standard “complete blood count”?

The standalone CBC (Complete Blood Clount) doesn’t really tell you much. We include the classic CBC plus 80+ lifestyle markers (inflammation, hormones, micronutrients, omega balance, amino acids); you get context, risk scoring, and an action plan instead of a cryptic lab sheet.

Do I need a prescription or doctor visit?

No prescription or doctor's visit is required. Everything - from booking your blood draw to receiving your results and supplements - happens inside the Aniva platform. We’ve made advanced health testing as easy as online shopping.

Who analyzes my blood?

Your samples are processed by our certified medical partner laboratory in Germany that follows strict quality controls and is regularly audited. All results are medically validated by a medical director and specialist in laboratory medicine to ensure the highest accuracy and reliability.

Which lab tests are included in my membership?

Your yearly Aniva membership includes the Core panel of 100+ biomarkers, tested yearly.

Additional tests can be ordered at any time from the Aniva platform, such as sexually transmitted diseases, heavy metals scans, glucose monitoring, and more. Many of these are hard to access anywhere else and can easily cost up to twice as much compared to Aniva.

Here you can check out the Core panel and add-on tests.

Can I talk with someone about my results?

Absolutely. You can always reach out via our concierge chat (included in your membership) to ask questions or clarify anything about your test results or action plan. Our certified nutritionist monitors these conversations and is ready to help guide you.

If you’d like a deeper, structured walkthrough, you can optionally schedule a health consultation call for an additional fee — we’ll review your results together and offer personalized insights.

How soon do I get my results, and will I understand them?

The first batch of results will always be available in under one week. If you booked additional tests, it may take up anywhere from 1-4 weeks.

We’ll send you an email (and a little celebration) as soon as everything’s ready! Don’t worry: you won’t get a scary-looking PDF full of medical jargon. Instead, you’ll find everything in your Aniva dashboard. You'll see what is great already, where there is room to improve, and what to do next → your personal action plan including daily supplements.

How is my test data analyzed?

Your test results are analyzed by medical professionals. Our Aniva engine then uses your biomarker data to create personalized health plans targeting your specific needs.

After your blood arrives at our partner lab, the lab analyzes most of the blood work in-house and sends your blood to their partner labs for specific diagnostics (like Omega fatty acids—did you know there are fewer than 5 labs in Germany that test Omega fatty acids?)

Once the diagnostics are done, we (Aniva) receive your data. We prepare it in a readable, simple format with our personal reference ranges based on gender and age (your optimal Calcium levels are different from your grandma’s) and put that into the web app.

How accurate is the lab analysis?

Aniva works with a certified German partner lab to provide professional laboratory analysis for all tests, ensuring high accuracy and reliability. There might still be a small variance on each marker; however, this is completely standard and the case with every laboratory. If a blood marker is completely off, we retest it or make sure to connect you with a doctor. Our laboratory is consistently audited to ensure the highest level of compliance with GLP (good laboratory practice).

It’s important to know that this blood test is a snapshot of how you are right now, creating a good baseline, but the magic is in continuous testing, year over year.

The comprehensive testing is 7x more extensive than a standard medical checkup, providing a more complete picture of your health status.

How do I need to prepare for my upcoming blood test?

Continue your regular medications unless instructed otherwise by your doctor, and let us know what you’re taking.

What is the Aniva blood test?

The initial Aniva Blood Test is your full-body check-up, but smarter, deeper, and built for prevention (not just diagnosis).We measure over relevant and biomarkers—way more than a typical doctor visit—covering things like:

• Heart health (cholesterol, inflammation, lipoproteins)
• Nutrient levels (vitamins, minerals, amino acids)
• Metabolic health (blood sugar, insulin, liver & kidney markers)
• Hormone balance
• Fatty acids & Omega 3 status

This test is all about understanding you—not some generic average.

It’s the starting point for your personal health blueprint—so we can track your progress, catch early warning signs, and build a supplement & lifestyle plan that actually fits your body. And it's included as part of your yearly membership.
