Test parameters
CRP
Checks for acute (e.g. baterical infection) and chronic inflammation (such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus)
Lipid panel
Measures trygylcerides, high-density lipoprotein (also called "good cholesterol") and low-density lipoprotein (also called "bad cholesterol"). HDL is called "good" because it collects fatty acid in your blood vessels and brings them back to the liver for processing and removal. LDL is called "bad" because too much of it in can lead to a buildup of plaque in your arteries, putting you at risk of heart disease, diabetes, or stroke.
Kreatinin
Indicates how well kidneys are performing their job of filtering waste from the blood.
ALT
Important liver enzyme, gets released into the blood stream when liver tissue is damaged. May indicate compromised liver function (e.g. removing toxins from blood, making proteins, storing vitamins and iron).
Ferritin
Indicates how much iron the body stores. Indicator for iron deficiency. Iron deficiency negatively impacts the body´s ability to transport oxygen & thereby makes you tired.
Hb1Ac (Diabetes indicator)
Reflects average blood sugar level for the past two to three months, indicator for diabetes risk.
Uric acid
Indicates risk for gout by measuring uric acid.

Test process
How the test works
Order your test kit
Orders before 16:00 on a working day are shipped the same day and usually arrive the next working day with Swiss Post.
Take your sample from home
The test kit will contain all the necessary material for you to collect a small blood sample from your finger. Never done that before? Don't worry, detailed video instructions are provided and thousands of customers have used them to successfully take their sample.
Send your sample to the lab for analysis
Next, you put your sample into the provided Retourbox and drop it off in a Swiss Post mailbox. It will be analysed by our Swiss laboratory partner, Medisyn (formerly known as Synlab).
Receive your results incl. doctor's report online
Your results will be available online 2-3 working days after sending your sample to the lab. Results include a doctor´s report with interpretations and recommendations.
With an annual health check you can detect health issues early on. Problems which are caught early are usually much better treatable.
