CRP (C-Reactive Protein) – A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated levels can indicate systemic inflammation.

Homocysteine – An amino acid that, when elevated, may be associated with oxidative stress and disrupted methylation cycles.

Total Testosterone – Primary male sex hormone involved in strength, libido, mood, and energy

SHBG – Regulates how much testosterone is available for use in the body

LH & FSH – Pituitary hormones that control testosterone production and reproductive function

Cortisol – A stress-related hormone linked to metabolism and recovery

DHEA-S – A precursor to testosterone that plays a role in vitality and ageing

IGF-1 – A growth factor related to muscle development, cellular repair, and performanceInsulin – A hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and energy use

Estradiol (E2) – A form of estrogen that exists in men at lower levels and can impact mood, libido, and hormonal balance

Prolactin – Hormone associated with reproductive function; also monitored for its potential influence on libido and hormonal balance

Progesterone – Present in smaller amounts in men, progesterone contributes to hormone regulation and balance. It also plays a role in mood, sleep, and metabolic function.

Fasting Glucose – The amount of sugar in your blood after fasting; commonly used to evaluate glucose control.

HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) – Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months.

Insulin – A hormone that helps transport glucose into cells. Measured fasting to assess insulin production and function.

HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance) – A calculated index based on fasting glucose and insulin. Used to estimate how efficiently the body uses insulin.

Total Cholesterol – The overall amount of cholesterol in the blood, including HDL, LDL, and other lipid particles. Cholesterol is used to build cells and produce hormones.

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – Often called “good” cholesterol. HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for processing.

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – Often referred to as “bad” cholesterol. LDL carries cholesterol to tissues, and when elevated, can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.

Triglycerides – A form of fat stored in the body. Triglyceride levels can be influenced by recent meals, alcohol intake, metabolism, and insulin activity.

Iron Studies (Iron, Ferritin, Transferrin, TIBC) – Evaluate the body’s iron storage and transport. Iron supports oxygen transport and cellular energy.

Vitamin B12 – Required for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis.

Vitamin D – A fat-soluble vitamin involved in calcium absorption, immune function, and cell regulation.

Folate (Vitamin B9) – A water-soluble B vitamin involved in DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and cellular repair. Folate also plays a role in methylation processes and is important for overall metabolic health.

Zinc – A trace element involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions including immune and reproductive function.

Copper – Involved in energy production, iron metabolism, and nervous system function.

Magnesium – Supports muscle contraction, nerve function, heart rhythm, and energy metabolism.

Liver Function Tests (ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, Bilirubin, Albumin) – Measure enzymes and proteins produced by the liver. May reflect liver cell function and bile metabolism.

Kidney Function (Urea, Creatinine, eGFR) – Reflect how efficiently the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood.

Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride) – Critical for fluid balance, nerve signalling, and heart function.

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) – A protein produced by both normal and abnormal cells in the prostate gland. PSA circulates in the blood and is commonly measured to assess prostate activity. Levels can vary due to age, prostate size, physical activity, or benign conditions.It is often included in men’s health checks — particularly for those over the age of 40 or with a family history of prostate-related conditions — to help establish a baseline and monitor changes over time.

ApoB (Apolipoprotein B) – A structural protein found on the surface of atherogenic lipoprotein particles, including LDL, VLDL, and IDL. Unlike standard LDL cholesterol tests that measure the amount of cholesterol carried, ApoB provides a direct count of the number of lipoprotein particles. This is important because each ApoB-containing particle has the potential to enter artery walls and contribute to plaque buildup. ApoB is often regarded as a more precise marker for assessing lipoprotein-related cardiovascular risk.

Lipoprotein(a) – A genetically influenced lipoprotein that resembles LDL but includes an additional protein called apolipoprotein(a). Lp(a) levels are largely determined by genetics and tend to remain stable over time. It is not routinely included in standard cholesterol testing, but is increasingly recognised as an independent marker of cardiovascular risk, particularly when elevated alongside other lipid abnormalities.

Omega-3 Index – Measures the percentage of EPA and DHA (long-chain omega-3 fatty acids) in your red blood cells. These healthy fats come mainly from fish and reflect your long-term omega-3 status over the past few months.EPA and DHA are involved in:

Reducing inflammation
Supporting heart and brain function
Maintaining healthy cell membranes
Mood and cognitive support

This test is not included in standard panels but is becoming a valuable marker in preventative and longevity-focused health assessments.

Blood Pressure Reading – Taken by your mobile nurse during the collection appointment. This test measures the force of blood pushing against artery walls when the heart beats (systolic) and when it rests between beats (diastolic).Blood pressure is a key indicator of cardiovascular health and is commonly assessed alongside blood markers to provide a broader picture of heart and vessel function. Elevated or low readings may prompt further investigation, especially when combined with lipid and metabolic markers.
