Serum Folate (Vitamin B9)
Biomarkers included
Vitamin B12
We check for 1 Vitamin B12 marker:
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is used for the production of oxygen-carrying red blood cells and DNA, and also plays a role in the nervous system maintenance.
Usually obtained from our diet, a deficiency can lead to anaemia, and symptoms such as lethargy, heart palpitations, nerve problems such as tingling and constipation.
Biomarkers included
Vitamin D
We check for 1 Vitamin D marker:
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is vital for bone strength, as well as protection against chronic illnesses and muscle function.
We cannot make it ourselves and need to obtain it from natural sunlight or supplements.
It can also be obtained from a small number of foods, such as oily fish, red meat, egg yolks and fortified food such as cereals.
Biomarkers included
Muscle & Bone
We check for 3 Muscle & Bone markers:
Adjusted Calcium
Calcium
Creatinine Kinase
Our muscle and bone health check will identify levels of important enzymes or minerals related to the health of your bones and muscles.
Checking your Calcium levels will ensure you have healthy bone structure and bone formation to avoid complications such as neurological problems, osteoporosis, eye damage and dental problems.
Biomarkers included
Kidney
We check for 3 Kidney markers:
Creatinine
Glomerular Filtration Rate
Urea
Biomarkers included
Iron
We check for 5 Iron markers:
Ferritin
Iron
Total Iron Binding Concentration
Transferrin
Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration
Iron is used in the body to create new blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body.
Low levels of iron can lead to fatigue and reduced energy levels, along with pale skin, weak hair and nails and chest pain or heart flutters.
Too much iron can lead to iron-overload, or hemochromatosis, which can also lead to fatigue and chest pains, as well as joint pain, stomach pain and unexplained weight loss.
We will check your iron levels and your body’s ability to efficiently transport iron via your blood.
Biomarkers included
Inflammation
We check for 1 Inflammation marker:
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
Inflammation typically occurs when your immune system tries to remove infections or antibodies from your body, with symptoms including swelling, redness, pain and heat.
Acute inflammation is usually short term and triggered by an injury or infection. Chronic inflammation lasts for longer periods and can be caused by conditions such as asthma, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, or long term exposure to irritants such as pollution.
Ongoing inflammation can cause the body to start fighting healthy cells as well as damaged ones, leading to increased risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, asthma and more. On a day-to-day basis this can cause fatigue, rashes, chest or abdominal pain, sores and fevers.
Our test can identify whether there is inflammation in the body which can lead to damaged blood vessels and potentially a heart attack or stroke.
Biomarkers included
Hormones
We check for 1 Hormones marker:
Testosterone
Biomarkers included
Gout
We check for 1 Gout marker:
Urate (Uric Acid)
Gout is a type of arthritis typically found in the fingers, wrists, ankles and toes, affecting individual joints or multiple joints at the same time.
It is caused by a build-up of uric acid which deposits crystals into the joints leading to inflammation and significant pain.
Uric acid is typically processed and excreted by the kidneys, however if there is too much in the body or the kidneys are not functioning effectively, it can accumulate in the body. Gout can be treated with steroids or anti-inflammatories once recognised.
Biomarkers included
Cholesterol
We check for 6 Cholesterol markers:
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
Non HDL Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio
Triglyceride
Cholesterol plays an important role in the general function of the body, however too much can increase your risk of stroke or heart attack. Blood tests to check your levels of good or bad cholesterol can check levels within the blood and identify risks to your health.
For example, LDL cholesterol can lead to fatty deposits inside your arteries causing heart disease, heart attack and stroke, whilst the HDL molecule transports cholesterol and fatty deposits out of the blood stream to the liver, to be broken down and removed – meaning you should be aiming for low LDL and high HDL overall.
Having high cholesterol produces no initial symptoms so the only way to check your health is with a blood test. Cholesterol levels can be easily lowered by stopping smoking, improving your diet, doing more physical activity - but you need to know your levels first.
Biomarkers included
Blood Cells
We check for 15 Blood Cells markers:
Basophils
Eosinophils
Haematocrit
Haemoglobin
Lymphocytes
MCHC
Mean Cell Haemoglobin
Mean Cell Volume
Monocytes
MPV
