What's included in the test?

This test includes a total of 5 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.

  • Total Cholesterol / HDL Cholesterol Ratio

    Total Cholesterol / HDL Cholesterol Ratio is a calculated marker that compares your total cholesterol to your “good” HDL cholesterol, helping to assess overall cardiovascular risk and the balance between protective and potentially harmful lipoproteins.
