What's included in the test?

This test includes a total of 11 Health Markers.

  • Total Cholesterol

    A total cholesterol blood test measures the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both HDL and LDL cholesterol. 

  • LDL

    Commonly known as ‘bad’ cholesterol, LDL is a fat that circulates in the blood, moving cholesterol around the blood stream.

  • HDL

    Commonly known as ‘good’ cholesterol, HDL carries LDL (bad) cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver.

  • Triglycerides

    A type of fat that is the most common type of fat in the blood, used by the body for energy.

  • Apolipoprotein A-I

    Apo A1 is a major component of HDL cholesterol and is involved in removing excess cholesterol from the body. 

  • Apolipoprotein B

    ApoB is a protein essential for carrying cholesterol and other fats throughout your body – with high levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and LDL.

  • Apolipoprotein CII

    ApoC-II is a protein involved in the breakdown of fats (triglycerides) in the bloodstream.

  • Apolipoprotein CIII

    Apo C-III is an important protein involved in triglyceride metabolism, Elevated levels are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease

  • Apolipoprotein E

    Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the breakdown of fats. ApoE test can help identify the role of genetic factors in cardiovascular disease.

  • Small LDL Cholesterol

    This test measures the different subfractions of lipids, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).

  • Lipoprotein (a)

    Lipoprotein (a) helps carry cholesterol through your bloodstream to your cells. High Lp(a) levels are associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in arteries), heart attacks, and strokes.
