Common Health Markers

Understanding your blood results is an essential part of monitoring your health and performance. Below is a complete list of every individual biomarker included across our panels, grouped by category, with clear explanations of what each test measures and why it matters.

Full Blood Count

  • Haemoglobin — Measures the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. Important for energy levels and endurance.
  • Haematocrit — Percentage of red blood cells in blood. Helps assess hydration status and oxygen delivery.
  • Red Blood Cell Count — Number of red blood cells. Supports overall energy and oxygen transport.
  • White Blood Cell Count — Assesses immune system activity and can indicate inflammation or infection.
  • Platelet Count — Involved in blood clotting and tissue repair processes.

Liver Function Tests

  • ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) — Liver enzyme that rises with liver stress or damage.
  • AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) — Liver enzyme used alongside ALT to evaluate liver health.
  • ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) — Enzyme found in liver and bone; helps assess liver and bone metabolism.
  • Bilirubin — Waste product from red blood cell breakdown; processed by the liver.
  • Albumin — Main protein in blood produced by the liver; important for fluid balance and nutrient transport.

Kidney Function

  • eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) — Measures how well the kidneys are filtering blood.
  • Creatinine — Waste product from muscle metabolism; key marker of kidney function.
  • Urea — Waste product from protein breakdown; helps assess kidney function and hydration.

Lipid Profile

  • Total Cholesterol — Overall cholesterol level in the blood.
  • LDL Cholesterol — Often referred to as “bad” cholesterol; associated with cardiovascular risk.
  • HDL Cholesterol — Often referred to as “good” cholesterol; helps remove excess cholesterol.
  • Triglycerides — Type of fat in the blood; elevated levels can indicate metabolic issues.

Blood Sugar & Insulin Markers

  • Glucose — Measures current blood sugar levels.
  • HbA1c — Reflects average blood sugar control over the past 2–3 months.
  • Insulin — Hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar and nutrient uptake into cells.

Inflammation Markers

  • hs-CRP — Sensitive marker of systemic inflammation in the body.
  • ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) — Additional marker that helps assess chronic inflammatory burden.

Thyroid Panel

  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) — Pituitary hormone that regulates thyroid activity.
  • Free T4 — Main thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
  • Free T3 — The most active form of thyroid hormone that regulates metabolism and energy.

Hormones

  • Testosterone (total) — Primary anabolic hormone involved in muscle growth, strength, libido, and vitality.
  • Free Testosterone — The unbound, biologically active form of testosterone that directly affects libido, muscle, and performance.
  • Estradiol (oestrogen) — Key estrogen hormone; important for hormonal balance and can rise due to aromatization.
  • SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) — Regulates how much testosterone is free and available for use.
  • LH (Luteinising Hormone) — Regulates natural testosterone production.
  • FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) — Supports reproductive hormones and overall hormonal equilibrium.
  • DHEA-S — Adrenal androgen that contributes to libido, energy, and well-being.
  • Prolactin — Hormone that can affect libido, mood, and metabolic function when elevated.
  • Cortisol — Primary stress hormone; influences energy, recovery, inflammation, and muscle breakdown.

Growth & Repair Markers

  • IGF-1 — Insulin-like Growth Factor 1; key marker of growth hormone activity linked to tissue repair, muscle growth, collagen production, and longevity.

Cardiovascular & Methylation Marker

  • Homocysteine — An amino acid whose elevated levels are associated with cardiovascular risk, B-vitamin deficiencies, and methylation status.

Muscle Damage & Recovery Marker

  • CK (Creatine Kinase) — Marker of muscle damage and breakdown; useful for monitoring training stress and recovery.

Bone, Immune & Skin Health Marker

  • Vitamin D (25-OH) — Essential for bone health, immune function, skin barrier, mood, and natural testosterone production.
