Product-specific details
A useful fit when you want to measure one or more of the items listed here. This information does not provide a diagnosis or a personalized recommendation.
What it measures
Apolipoprotein B is a protein on lipoprotein particles that can carry cholesterol into artery walls.
Why it is measured
ApoB is measured to add information about the number of potentially artery-clogging particles and cardiovascular risk.
What it measures
Cortisol is a hormone made by the adrenal glands that helps regulate the body’s response to stress, blood sugar, and other functions. This marker measures its level in blood.
Why it is measured
Clinicians use cortisol results, often with collection timing and other tests, to assess conditions involving too much or too little cortisol.
What it measures
Estradiol (E2) is an estrogen hormone involved in reproductive function and bone health. This marker measures its level in blood.
Why it is measured
Estradiol can help evaluate menstrual or fertility concerns and changes in ovarian hormone production, interpreted with age, cycle timing, and other tests.
What it measures
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron; its blood level helps estimate the body’s iron stores.
Why it is measured
Ferritin is measured to help investigate too little or too much stored iron and related conditions.
What it measures
Free T3 is the portion of triiodothyronine (T3) in blood that is not bound to transport proteins. T3 is a thyroid hormone involved in energy use and other body functions.
Why it is measured
Free T3 may add information when clinicians evaluate or monitor thyroid disease, usually alongside TSH and T4 results.
What it measures
Free T4 is the portion of thyroxine (T4) in blood that is not bound to transport proteins. T4 is a hormone made by the thyroid.
Why it is measured
Free T4 helps evaluate and monitor thyroid function, especially when interpreted with TSH.

What it measures
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is made by the pituitary gland and helps regulate egg development and sperm production. This marker measures its level in blood.
Why it is measured
FSH may help investigate fertility, menstrual changes, puberty, or testicular and pituitary function, often with other hormone results.
Assay: Hemoglobin (Hgb) & Hematocrit (Hct)
What it measures
Hematocrit is the proportion of blood made up of red blood cells.
Why it is measured
It helps evaluate anemia and other conditions affecting red blood cells, often alongside hemoglobin.
What it measures
Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells.
Why it is measured
Its blood level helps assess anemia and other conditions affecting red blood cells.
What it measures
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps move glucose from blood into cells. This marker measures insulin in blood.
Why it is measured
Insulin testing with glucose and other findings can help investigate low blood sugar or how much insulin the pancreas is producing; it is not usually used alone to diagnose diabetes.
Assay: Lipid Panel
What it measures
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance the body uses to make hormones and other needed materials.
Why it is measured
Cholesterol results help assess cardiovascular risk alongside other blood lipid results and clinical factors.
What it measures
HDL cholesterol is cholesterol carried in high-density lipoprotein particles in the blood.
Why it is measured
It is measured with other lipids to help assess cardiovascular risk.
What it measures
LDL cholesterol is cholesterol carried by low-density lipoproteins in the blood.
Why it is measured
Its level helps assess cardiovascular risk alongside other lipid results and clinical factors.
What it measures
Triglycerides are a type of fat carried in the blood.
Why it is measured
They are measured with other blood lipids to help assess cardiovascular risk.
What it measures
Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a mostly inherited cholesterol-carrying particle in the blood.
Why it is measured
Its level helps assess inherited heart disease and stroke risk that a standard lipid panel may not show.
What it measures
Progesterone is a hormone that helps prepare and maintain the uterine lining for pregnancy.
Why it is measured
Progesterone levels can help assess ovulation and reproductive or pregnancy-related concerns, interpreted with cycle timing and other findings.
What it measures
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate.
Why it is measured
PSA results may support prostate cancer screening discussions or monitoring of known prostate disease; an elevated result alone does not diagnose cancer.
What it measures
Testosterone is a hormone involved in reproductive function and other body processes in people of all sexes.
Why it is measured
Testosterone results can help assess possible hormone excess or deficiency and monitor hormone-related treatment alongside symptoms and other findings.
What it measures
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is made by the pituitary gland and signals the thyroid to make thyroid hormones.
Why it is measured
TSH helps assess thyroid function and monitor treatment, often alongside other thyroid tests.
What it measures
Vitamin B12 is a nutrient needed for healthy blood cells and nerve function.
Why it is measured
B12 testing can help investigate possible deficiency, including anemia or nerve symptoms.
What it measures
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports healthy bones.
Why it is measured
Vitamin D testing can help investigate possible deficiency or other vitamin D concerns when symptoms or risk factors warrant it.
