Female Active Boost (For best accuracy, test LH, FSH, and oestrogen around days 2–5 of your cycle, and progesterone around day 21. These timings are ideal, but testing outside them can still be useful.)

Aimed at Female athletes, this 39 biomarkers test examines everything you need to reach peak performance including hormones, inflammation, thyroid, nutrition and menstruation insights

Blood Analysis

Haematocrit: The percentage of red blood cells in the total blood volume, which helps assess overall blood health. Why measure: To diagnose and monitor conditions affecting red blood cell volume.
Haemoglobin: A protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. Why measure: To assess oxygen transport and diagnose anemia or other blood disorders.
Lymphocytes: White blood cells that are crucial for the adaptive immune response, including fighting viral infections and producing antibodies. Why measure: To assess immune function and diagnose immune system disorders.
MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration): The average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of red blood cells. Why measure: To evaluate hemoglobin content and diagnose types of anemia.
Mean Cell Hb (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin): The average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell, indicating the cell’s oxygen-carrying capacity. Why measure: To assess and diagnose anemia and other red blood cell disorders.
Mean Cell Volume (MCV): The average volume of a red blood cell, used to classify anemia and other blood conditions. Why measure: To diagnose types of anemia and assess overall red blood cell health.
Monocytes: White blood cells that play a role in detecting and destroying pathogens and resolving infections. Why measure: To evaluate immune system activity and diagnose infections or chronic inflammation.
MPV (Mean Platelet Volume): The average size of platelets in the blood, which can provide information on platelet production in bone marrow. Why measure: To assess platelet function and diagnose various platelet disorders.
Neutrophils: A type of white blood cell that helps combat infections and facilitate tissue repair. Why measure: To evaluate immune response and diagnose infections or inflammatory conditions.
Platelets: Cell fragments crucial for blood clotting and wound healing. Why measure: To evaluate clotting ability and diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders.
Red Blood Cells: Cells responsible for oxygen transport throughout the body. Why measure: To assess overall blood health and diagnose anemia or other red blood cell disorders.
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW): Measures variation in red blood cell size, which can indicate different types of anemia. Why measure: To assess the heterogeneity of red blood cells and diagnose various anemia types.
White Blood Cells: Cells that are part of the immune system and help fight infections and other diseases. Why measure: To evaluate immune function and detect infections or other immune disorders.

Inflammation

HsCRP (High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein): A marker of inflammation that can indicate increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Why measure: To predict cardiovascular disease risk and inflammation levels.

Muscle Health

CK (Creatine Kinase): An enzyme released into the blood when muscle tissue is damaged or stressed. Why measure: To diagnose muscle damage or disorders and monitor muscle health.

Reproductive Hormones

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Regulates reproductive processes such as egg development in females and sperm production in males. Why measure: To assess reproductive health and diagnose fertility issues.
Luteinising Hormone (LH): Regulates ovulation in females and testosterone production in males. Why measure: To evaluate reproductive health and diagnose hormonal disorders.
Progesterone: A hormone that plays a role in reproductive health, hormone balance, and overall well-being. Why measure: To evaluate menstrual health, fertility, and pregnancy in women, and to assess hormonal balance and prostate health in men
Prolactin: Involved in lactation and reproductive health. Why measure: To assess lactation, pituitary function, and reproductive health.

Sex Steroid Hormones

Oestradiol (Estradiol): A key form of estrogen important for regulating the menstrual cycle and reproductive health. Why measure: To assess estrogen levels and diagnose hormonal disorders.
Testosterone: Main male sex hormone involved in male characteristics, muscle mass, and libido. Why measure: To evaluate androgen levels and diagnose hormonal imbalances or conditions.
Free Testosterone (Calculated): The biologically active form of testosterone. Why Measure: To assess testosterone levels and diagnose hormonal imbalances.
Free Androgen Index (FAI): Ratio of total testosterone to SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin), indicating bioavailable testosterone. Why measure: To evaluate androgen status and diagnose related hormonal disorders.
SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin): A protein that binds sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Why measure: To assess hormonal balance and diagnose related disorders.

Stress Hormones

Cortisol: Primary stress hormone that regulates metabolism, immune response, and stress adaptation. Why Measure: To evaluate stress levels, adrenal function, and overall hormonal balance.

Thyroid Function

FT3 (Free Triiodothyronine): The unbound form of T3 hormone that is active in regulating metabolism and energy levels. Why measure: To assess thyroid function and diagnose thyroid disorders.
FT4 (Free Thyroxine): The unbound form of T4 hormone that helps regulate metabolism and growth. Why measure: To evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid-related conditions.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): A hormone that regulates the production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) by the thyroid gland. Why measure: To evaluate thyroid function and diagnose hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Vitamins and Minerals

Active B12: The form of vitamin B12 that is available for use by the body, essential for blood cell production and nerve function. Why measure: To assess vitamin B12 levels and diagnose deficiencies or related conditions.
Magnesium: A mineral important for muscle and nerve function, bone health, and energy production. Why measure: To assess magnesium levels and diagnose deficiencies or related health conditions.
Vitamin D: Vital for calcium absorption and bone health, playing a key role in maintaining bone density. Why measure: To assess and support optimal bone health and calcium metabolism.
