24 Biomarkers Included
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation and linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Total Cholesterol
A lipid crucial for proper functioning of cells and carried throughout your body in particles called lipoproteins.
Triglycerides
A type of fat found that signals insulin resistance and increases risk for heart disease and pancreatitis.
LDL Cholesterol
A form of cholesterol that can accumulate in artery walls; elevated levels a risk factor for heart disease.
HDL Cholesterol
The amount of cholesterol carried in a type of lipoprotein called HDL, which plays many roles, including the removal of cholesterol from your artery walls.
VLDL Cholesterol
The amount of cholesterol carried in a type of atherogenic lipoprotein called VLDL. Too much can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries and heart disease.
Apolipoprotein B
A protein on cholesterol-carrying particles that drive plaque buildup in the arteries, and considered a top risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
Lipoprotein(a)
A genetically determined cholesterol-carrying particle; elevated levels increase the risk of atherosclerotic heart disease.
Hemoglobin A1c
The percentage of hemoglobin with glucose attached; higher levels reflect poor blood sugar control and increased risk for diabetes.
Insulin
A hormone that moves sugar into cells and controls fat storage, linked to diabetes and metabolic health.
Glucose
A sugar that fuels every cell and organ and signals early signs of diabetes when elevated.
Alanine Aminotransferase
An enzyme released from liver cells that reveals early signs of liver stress, inflammation, or damage.
Aspartate Aminotransferase
An enzyme involved in amino acid metabolism that signals liver or heart damage when released into the bloodstream.
Creatinine
A breakdown product of creatine phosphate in the muscle and typically filtered out by the kidneys.
Alkaline Phosphatase
An enzyme important for many processes in your liver and bones; high levels can indicate disease in these areas.
Total Bilirubin
A byproduct of the breakdown of blood cells that reflects liver processing and signals risks for liver disease, bile duct problems, and red blood cell breakdown.
Blood Urea Nitrogen
A nitrogen-rich waste product that reflects kidney function and hydration status.
Chloride
An electrolyte that plays a critical role in maintaining your body's salt-water balance.
Bicarbonate
An electrolyte used by the body to help neutralize excess acids in your blood and maintain pH balance.
Sodium
An electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, mineral balance, and blood pressure in your body.
Potassium
A mineral that powers cells, supports heart rhythm, and protects against high blood pressure and stroke.
Calcium
A mineral that supports bones, muscles, and nerves while signaling risks of kidney, parathyroid, or bone disorders.
Total Protein
A combined level of all proteins in the blood, used to assess nutritional status, liver function, and chronic inflammation.
Albumin
A protein that maintains fluid balance and carries hormones, vitamins, and drugs through your bloodstream.
