Blood Spot Profile

Female Blood Profiles I & II Two dried blood spot (DBS) profiles

Profile I tests sex and adrenal hormone levels in blood, as an alternative to Saliva Profile I for those women who have difficulty producing enough saliva for testing, or who are using sublingual hormones that might interfere with the saliva test. SHBG is included in the profile so that free (unbound) testosterone can be calculated, since most of the testosterone circulating in the blood is bound to SHBG. Profile II includes the same tests as Profile I with the addition of the Essential Thyroid Profile tests.

✔ Female Blood Spot Profile I includes: E2, total; Pg, total; T, total; SHBG; DS; C

✔ Female Blood Spot Profile II adds: TSH, fT3, fT4, TPOab

✔ Female Serum Profile includes: E2, Pg, T, SHBG, DS, C,TSH, fT3, fT4, TPOab

Male Blood Profiles I & II Two 

Profile I tests sex and adrenal hormone levels in blood, and includes a PSA test to help assess prostate health. Profile II includes the same tests as Profile I with the addition of the Essential Thyroid Profile tests.

✔ Male Blood Spot Profile I includes: E2, total; T, total; PSA; SHBG; DS; C

✔ Male Blood Spot Profile II adds: TSH, fT3, fT4, TPOab

✔ Male Serum Profile includes: E2, T, PSA, SHBG, DS, C, TSH, fT3, fT4, TPOab

CardioMetabolic Profile

\This profile, entirely in DBS collected after an overnight fast, allows early detection of major indicators associated with metabolic/insulin resistance syndrome. As a screening profile it can facilitate appropriate treatment to reduce type 2 diabetes and CVD risks. ✔

CardioMetabolic Profile includes: Blood Spot: Insulin, hsCRP, HbA1c, TG, CH, HDL, LDL, VLDL

Toxic & Essential Elements 

Blood Essential elements are only conducive to optimal health when they are within optimal ranges – levels that are too low or too high can have detrimental effects on health – and exposure to toxic heavy metals has multiple adverse health effects. DBS testing represents red blood cell levels of the nutritional elements magnesium, zinc, and copper, revealing deficiencies earlier than a typical serum test..

✔ Toxic & Essential Elements - Blood includes: Mercury, Cadmium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Magnesium
