What is being tested?

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a type of fat your body uses for energy. After you eat, extra calories your body does not immediately need are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells. Levels can rise when calorie intake regularly exceeds energy use, particularly from sugary or processed foods. High levels over time may contribute to cardiovascular risk and are usually reviewed alongside cholesterol results.

Total Cholesterol

Total cholesterol is a combined measure of all the cholesterol circulating in your blood. Cholesterol is needed to build cells and produce certain hormones, but balance is important. This result includes both protective and non-protective types of cholesterol, which are measured separately to give a clearer picture.

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

This ratio compares total cholesterol with HDL cholesterol. It helps assess the balance between protective and non-protective cholesterol rather than looking at one result alone. A lower ratio generally reflects a healthier cholesterol balance.

Total Testosterone

Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced primarily in the testes in men and the ovaries and adrenal glands in women. In both sexes it plays a role in maintaining muscle mass, bone density, energy levels, mood, and libido, though levels and functions differ significantly between men and women. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, and can also be influenced by factors such as sleep quality, stress, body composition, and overall health. Total testosterone measures the combined amount of both free and protein-bound testosterone in the blood. 

Free Testosterone

The amount of active testosterone available in your body. Helps identify PCOS, assess symptoms like excess hair growth or acne, and evaluate low libido or energy issues.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)

A protein that binds to sex hormones in your blood. Low SHBG is common in PCOS and insulin resistance, while high levels can reduce available hormones. 

Free Androgen Index (Calc)

Shows the ratio of testosterone to SHBG, indicating how much active testosterone is available. Elevated levels help diagnose PCOS and explain symptoms like hirsutism or acne. 

Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral involved in energy production, muscle and nerve function, and blood sugar regulation to name a few. It is found in a wide range of foods including nuts, seeds, dark leafy greens, legumes, and wholegrains. The majority of the body's magnesium is stored in bones and cells rather than in the blood, which means blood levels alone don't always reflect total body stores. Magnesium levels can be influenced by diet, stress, exercise, and certain medications.

Phosphate

Phosphate is a mineral that works closely with calcium to support healthy bones and teeth. It also plays a role in energy production at the cellular level. Phosphate levels are influenced by kidney function, diet, and certain hormonal processes. The body carefully regulates phosphate levels to maintain balance.  

Albumin

Albumin is a protein produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance in the bloodstream. It also transports hormones, vitamins, and medications throughout the body. Albumin levels can provide insight into how well your body is producing and circulating essential proteins. Levels may also change in response to illness, inflammation, or nutritional status.
