• Fasting required 8–12 h before the test (water only) recommended for glucose cholesterol/triglyceride accuracy
• Sample timing: between 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM
• Stay hydrated; avoid strenuous exercise, heavy meals, and supplements (iron, B12, multivitamins, biotin) for 48 hours prior
• Continue prescribed medications unless otherwise directed

Frequently asked questions

It is for athletes and regular trainers wanting to optimise performance and recovery, or to investigate stalled progress, unusual fatigue or frequent illness. It covers hormones, iron status, muscle and inflammatory markers, vitamins and metabolic health.

No. Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours beforehand. Hard training raises creatine kinase, inflammatory markers and liver enzymes, and temporarily alters hormone levels, so a post-workout sample tells you about your session rather than your baseline.

In the morning before 10am, fasted for 10 to 12 hours with water only. Testosterone and cortisol both peak in the morning, so this timing is necessary for meaningful hormone interpretation.

Iron is essential for oxygen transport, and endurance athletes lose it through sweat, foot strike haemolysis and gut losses. Depleted stores reduce aerobic capacity and slow recovery well before anaemia appears, which is why ferritin is measured rather than haemoglobin alone.

Many athletes test at key points in a training cycle, such as pre-season, mid-block and after a competition phase, which usually means every three to four months. Consistent conditions each time, including the same time of day and rest status, make the comparison meaningful.
