30 markers in 1 blood test.

A comprehensive performance-focused panel designed to help you understand how your body is responding to training, recovery, and overall lifestyle.

This test looks at key markers linked to energy, muscle recovery, hormone balance, inflammation, and nutrient status, helping you identify areas to optimise performance, support recovery, and maintain long-term health.

What is being tested?

Triglycerides

A type of fat used for energy during exercise. Monitoring levels helps give insight into how your body is using and storing energy.   

Total Cholesterol

An overview of the cholesterol circulating in your blood. A useful starting point for understanding your cardiovascular and metabolic health.   

Non-HDL Cholesterol

Non-HDL cholesterol measures the cholesterol that is not HDL, the “good” cholesterol. It includes LDL and other particles that can contribute to plaque build-up in blood vessels over time. It is a useful marker when assessing overall cardiovascular risk.

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)

LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to the rest of the body. When levels are higher than needed, LDL can deposit cholesterol in the walls of arteries over time. It is commonly called “bad” cholesterol, although it still has normal functions in the body.

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)

HDL helps transport excess cholesterol away from the bloodstream and back to the liver, where it can be processed and removed. It is often described as protective or “good” cholesterol. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with better cardiovascular health.

Cholesterol:HDL Ratio

Shows the balance between total cholesterol and HDL, providing additional context around cardiovascular and metabolic health in relation to training.

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) Released by the brain to signal the thyroid to produce its hormones. TSH is the primary marker for assessing thyroid function. A raised level often indicates an underactive thyroid.

FT4 (Free Thyroxine)

The main hormone produced and released by the thyroid gland. Together with TSH, T4 gives a complete picture of whether your thyroid is functioning within a healthy range, directly affecting metabolism, energy, and mood.

Iron

Supports oxygen transport to muscles, which is essential for endurance, stamina, and overall performance. Adequate levels help maintain consistent energy during training. 

Ferritin

Indicates your body’s stored iron levels. This is particularly important for sustained energy, endurance, and recovery over time. 

Vitamin B12

Supports red blood cell production, nerve function, and energy metabolism. Important for anyone training regularly, particularly those following a plant-based diet. 

Folate

Works hand in hand with B12 to support energy, cell renewal, and recovery. Adequate folate helps your body repair and regenerate efficiently.

Magnesium

Involved in hundreds of processes including muscle contraction, sleep quality, and energy production. One of the most commonly depleted minerals in active individuals. 

Phosphate

Plays a central role in energy production at a cellular level and supports muscle function. Often overlooked, but important for anyone with high training volumes.

Vitamin D

Supports muscle function, immune health, and overall performance. It also plays a role in recovery and maintaining strength during regular training.

Sodium

The primary electrolyte responsible for fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function. Sodium levels help assess hydration status and overall kidney regulation.

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

Reflects how well your body is breaking down and clearing protein. Elevated levels can indicate changes in kidney function.

Creatinine (Enzymatic)

A waste product produced by muscle activity, filtered out by the kidneys. Creatinine levels are a key indicator of kidney function and muscle metabolism.

eGFR

Provides an overall picture of how efficiently your kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. A key marker of kidney health.

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

A liver-specific enzyme that rises when liver cells are under stress. ALT is one of the most direct markers of liver health and normal liver activity.

Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

An enzyme that helps give a broader picture of liver wellbeing. GGT is sensitive to changes in liver function and can be influenced by alcohol, medication, and metabolic factors.

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)

An enzyme found in the liver and muscle tissue. AST levels help assess liver health and can also reflect changes in muscle activity or recovery.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

An enzyme found in the liver and bones. Elevated levels can indicate changes in liver function or bone metabolism and help provide broader insight into overall metabolic health.

Albumin

The most common protein in your blood, produced by the liver. Albumin supports fluid balance, transports hormones and nutrients, and is a key indicator of liver and nutritional health.

Luteinizing Hormone

A key hormone involved in regulating testosterone production. It can help provide context for hormonal balance and how the body responds to physical stress. 

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone

Works alongside other hormones to support overall hormonal function. Useful for understanding the broader hormonal picture that underpins energy, mood, and recovery.

Total Testosterone

One of the most important hormones for muscle development, strength, energy, and recovery. Total testosterone gives you a baseline view of your hormonal health. 

Free Testosterone

The portion of testosterone that's actively available for your body to use. A more precise indicator of how testosterone is working for you day to day. 

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)

A protein that binds to testosterone and regulates how much is available for use. It helps provide a more complete picture of hormone balance and performance potential. 

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HSCRP)

A marker that reflects low levels of inflammation in the body. Levels can be influenced by training intensity, recovery, and overall stress on the body. 

Cortisol

Often referred to as the body’s stress hormone, cortisol helps provide insight into how your body is responding to training load, recovery, and overall stress levels. Balanced levels support optimal performance and recovery. Chronically elevated cortisol can signal overtraining or insufficient recovery. 

Creatinine Kinase Enzymes (CK)

An enzyme released during muscle activity. Elevated levels after intense training are normal, but persistently high CK can indicate insufficient recovery or muscle stress.
