Why is this test important?

This profile builds on the Longevity S Panel but adds additional markers. It provides an even more precise assessment of organ function and hormone status and is suitable for people who want deeper personalized prevention and performance optimization.

Included Parameters

Blood Count V

• Erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit: Assess the oxygen transport capacity of the blood. Reductions indicate anemia, elevations suggest dehydration or other diseases.
• MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW: Describe the size, hemoglobin content, and variability of red blood cells. Deviations indicate iron deficiency, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.
• Leukocytes: Total white blood cells. Elevated with infections/inflammation, reduced with bone marrow weakness or certain infections.
• Differential blood count (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils – each absolute and in %): Detailed assessment of immune defense. Changes indicate infections, allergies, or immunological disorders.
• Platelets: Blood platelets, important for clotting. Deviations can lead to bleeding tendency or thrombosis risk.

Liver Health

• ASAT (AST), ALAT (ALT): Liver enzymes that rise when cells are damaged. Elevated with fatty liver, hepatitis, or medication burden.
• GGT: Sensitive marker for bile flow obstruction, alcohol or medication burden.
• Bilirubin total/direct: Hemoglobin breakdown product. Elevated with liver or bile duct diseases.
• Alkaline phosphatase (AP): Enzyme that rises with liver or bone disease.
• Albumin, total protein: Show the liver's protein synthesis capacity and nutritional status.
• Fib-4 (calculated): Risk calculator for liver fibrosis based on laboratory values.

Kidney & Electrolytes

• Creatinine and eGFR (creatinine-based): Standard marker of kidney function.
• Cystatin C and eGFR (Cystatin C): More sensitive marker, particularly more reliable in muscular or very lean individuals.
• Urea: End product of protein metabolism. Indication of kidney or metabolic stress.
• Sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate: Central electrolytes for fluid balance, nerve conduction, muscle function, and bone metabolism. Deviations can trigger heart rhythm disturbances or muscle cramps.
• Uric acid: End product of purine metabolism. Elevated values are found in gout, overweight, insulin resistance, and kidney weakness.

Metabolism

• Glucose (fasting): Current blood sugar value. Elevated with diabetes or insulin resistance.
• HbA1c: Long-term marker for average blood sugar over the last 2–3 months.
• Insulin (fasting): Assesses insulin production. High values with normal blood sugar indicate insulin resistance.
• HOMA-IR: Calculated index from glucose and insulin to assess insulin sensitivity.

Heart Health

• LDL cholesterol: "Bad" cholesterol, central risk factor for atherosclerosis.
• HDL cholesterol: "Good" cholesterol that removes excess cholesterol from blood vessels.
• Non-HDL cholesterol: Encompasses all atherogenic cholesterol fractions.
• Total cholesterol: Sum of all cholesterol fractions, alone of limited specificity.
• Triglycerides: Blood fats that can be elevated with overweight, diabetes, or alcohol.
• Apolipoprotein B (ApoB): Exact marker for the number of atherogenic particles in the blood.
• Lipoprotein(a): Genetically determined risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
• hsCRP: High-sensitivity inflammation marker that indicates hidden chronic inflammation and cardiovascular risk.

Thyroid

• TSH: Control hormone of the thyroid. Deviations indicate over- or underfunction, before changes in T3 or T4 become apparent.

Hormones – Sex-Specific

• Men's Health: Total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, DHEAS. → Assessment of testosterone deficiency or androgen status.
• Women's Health: Estradiol, FSH, LH, prolactin. → Differentiation of cycle disorders, menopausal status, or hormone imbalances.

Vitamin D

• 25-OH-Vitamin D: Marker for vitamin D status. Central for bone health, immune system, and muscle function.

Practical Notes on Blood Collection

Blood collection is performed fasting after 8–12 hours of fasting. Supplements such as vitamin D, iron, omega-3, or hormone replacement preparations should be paused beforehand if possible to avoid falsifying results. Hormone values are time-of-day and cycle-dependent, therefore they should be measured in morning blood and in women should be interpreted according to cycle phase.
