Vitamin Profile

Vitamins are essential nutrients that play crucial roles in various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune function, and bone health. Our vitamin profile test evaluates your levels of essential vitamins such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, and folate. Deficiencies in these vitamins can lead to a range of health issues, including fatigue, weakened immune function, and neurological problems. By assessing your vitamin levels, we can tailor supplementation and dietary recommendations to support your overall health and well-being.

Full Thyroid Profile

The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and hormone balance. Our full thyroid profile test evaluates thyroid function by measuring levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3). Imbalances in thyroid hormones can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, and mood swings. Early detection of thyroid dysfunction through blood testing allows for prompt intervention and management of thyroid disorders.

Prostate Profile

Prostate health is important for men of all ages, as issues such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer can affect the quality of life and overall health. Our prostate profile test measures levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate inflammation, infection, or cancer. Regular screening with a prostate profile test can help detect potential issues early and facilitate timely intervention and treatment.

Allergy Complete Test

Allergies can significantly impact quality of life, causing symptoms such as sneezing, itching, congestion, and even life-threatening anaphylaxis in severe cases. Our allergy complete test evaluates sensitivity to 295 allergens, including common environmental allergens, foods, and inhalants. Identifying specific allergens allows for targeted avoidance strategies and personalized treatment plans, such as allergy immunotherapy, to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

Cholesterol Test

Cholesterol is a lipid molecule essential for various bodily functions, but elevated levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Our cholesterol test measures total cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Monitoring cholesterol levels through regular blood testing helps assess cardiovascular risk and guides lifestyle modifications and medication therapy to maintain heart health.

Additional Blood Tests

In addition to our comprehensive profiles, we offer a range of additional blood tests to assess various aspects of health, providing valuable information about overall health status and helping identify potential risk factors for chronic diseases such as diabetes, liver disease, and cardiovascular disease.
