CardioMetabolic Test Kit

Test ID: B-222

The CardioMetabolic Test kit for men and women includes the following six tests:

• Insulin (Fasting) (IN)
• High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)
• Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
• Triglycerides (TG)
• Total Cholesterol (CH)
• HDL Cholesterol (HDL)

Test Result: You will receive your test result 3-5 working days after the laboratory receives your sample. You will see your hormone levels in graphics and numbers on your test results. You will also see laboratory comments by a hormone specialist PhD doctor. In the comments, you will find an analysis of your hormone levels and what to do next.

• Collect samples from the comfort of your home and post them to our lab.
• The test must be used within 12 months after the purchase date.
• The test kit includes a laboratory fee: no additional laboratory cost or tax.
• Customers are responsible for shipping their samples to the laboratory.

The Cardio Metabolic test offers a clinically relevant evaluation to help define risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), progression toward Type 2 Diabetes, and inflammation. It measures lipoprotein size and density, cardiovascular risk stratification, triglycerides and traditional cholesterol screening.

It is recommended to take this test if you:

• Have a family history of heart disease or diabetes
• Have been diagnosed with heart disease or diabetes
• Are already taking cholesterol-lowering medications
• Have been diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome (high blood pressure)
• Are overweight

Female Metabolic Syndrome hormone deficiency symptoms:

• Blood pressure high
• Hair – increased facial and body
• Numbness – feet or hands
• Triglycerides elevated
• Weight gain – waist

Male Metabolic Syndrome Hormone Deficiency Symptoms:

• Blood pressure high
• Cholesterol high
• Depressed
• Dizzy spells
• Erections decreased
• Irritable
• Muscle size decreased
• Muscle soreness
• Numbness – feet or hands
• Sugar cravings
• Triglycerides elevated
• Weight gain – waist

The CardioMetabolic Test kit is essential for several reasons:

1. Cardiovascular Health Assessment: It provides a comprehensive evaluation of cardiovascular health by measuring factors like lipoprotein size, density, and traditional cholesterol markers.
2. Diabetes Risk Evaluation: The test includes parameters like Insulin (Fasting), Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and Triglycerides, which are crucial in understanding the risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
3. Inflammation Screening: High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) is a key marker for inflammation associated with various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
4. Metabolic Syndrome Detection: The test helps identify metabolic syndrome, characterised by a cluster of conditions such as high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, and obesity.
5. Personal Health Monitoring: For individuals with a family history of heart disease or diabetes, the CardioMetabolic Test serves as a valuable monitoring tool.
6. Convenient and Informative: The test can be performed at home using blood spot samples, with results delivered with graphical representation, numeric values, and expert comments.
7. Timely Insight and Actionable Information: Timely detection of risk factors allows for proactive measures and lifestyle changes.
8. Validated and Comprehensive Assessment: The test covers a range of essential markers validated for their role in cardiovascular health, diabetes risk, and inflammation.

By analysing these specific biomarkers, the CardioMetabolic Test becomes a pivotal tool in assessing overall health status, identifying potential risks, and guiding individuals toward appropriate interventions or preventive measures to promote a healthier lifestyle.
