Total Vitamin B12
pmol/LThe total B12 in your blood, both active and bound forms.
Why it matters
A useful screen, though much of what it measures is bound and unavailable to your cells.

What's measured
Every marker below is read against optimal ranges — not just the lab reference band — and explained by a clinician on your results call.
The total B12 in your blood, both active and bound forms.
Why it matters
A useful screen, though much of what it measures is bound and unavailable to your cells.
The portion of B12 your cells can actually use.
Why it matters
More accurate than total B12, which can look normal while the usable fraction is low.
The vitamin your skin makes from sunlight, essential for bone, muscle and immune function.
Why it matters
Deficiency is near-universal in northern Europe through winter, and among the easiest deficiencies to correct.
Vitamin B9, needed to build DNA and red blood cells.
Why it matters
Works together with B12 — treating one without checking the other can mask a serious deficiency.
A mineral involved in muscle function, nerve signalling and energy production.
Why it matters
Low magnesium contributes to cramps, palpitations and poor sleep, and often accompanies high sugar intake.
The main electrolyte controlling fluid balance in your body.
Why it matters
Abnormal levels affect blood pressure and brain function, and can flag kidney or hormonal problems.
Your body's iron store — the protein that holds iron until it is needed.
Why it matters
The first thing to fall when iron runs low, often long before haemoglobin drops. A common and very treatable cause of fatigue.
The mineral behind bone strength, muscle contraction and nerve signalling.
Why it matters
Tightly controlled by your body, so abnormal levels usually point to a parathyroid, kidney or vitamin D problem.
An electrolyte essential for heart rhythm and muscle function.
Why it matters
Both high and low levels affect the heart directly, which makes it one of the more urgent results.
An essential trace mineral used by hundreds of enzymes, immunity and wound healing.
Why it matters
Deficiency shows up as poor immunity, slow healing and taste changes, and is common in vegetarian diets.
The cholesterol carried by low-density lipoproteins, the particles that deposit cholesterol into artery walls.
Why it matters
LDL is the single most modifiable driver of heart disease. Lowering it years before symptoms is one of the most effective things you can do.
Total cholesterol minus HDL — everything left that can contribute to plaque.
Why it matters
A better predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL alone, because it captures every artery-damaging particle in one number.
The cholesterol carried by high-density lipoproteins, which transport it away from the arteries back to the liver.
Why it matters
Higher is generally protective. A low HDL alongside high triglycerides often points to insulin resistance rather than diet alone.
The total amount of cholesterol carried in your blood, combining the LDL, HDL and other fractions.
Why it matters
On its own it is a blunt number — the split between LDL and HDL matters far more, which is why we always read it alongside them.
Your total cholesterol divided by your HDL, expressing the balance between the two.
Why it matters
A cleaner risk signal than either number alone, and one of the values most responsive to changes in diet and activity.
The main form of fat circulating in your blood, mostly from what you eat and what your liver produces.
Why it matters
Raised triglycerides are an early sign that your body is struggling to handle sugar and refined carbohydrate — often before glucose looks abnormal.
Your average blood sugar over the past two to three months, measured on your red blood cells.
Why it matters
Unlike a single glucose reading, this cannot be gamed by fasting. It is the standard for diagnosing and tracking diabetes.
The proportion of omega-3 fats in your red blood cell membranes.
Why it matters
A stable, months-long measure of omega-3 status, linked to cardiovascular and cognitive health.
The balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory fats in your diet.
Why it matters
Modern diets skew heavily toward omega-6. Bringing the ratio down is one of the more achievable dietary changes.
The balance between arachidonic acid and EPA, two fats that pull inflammation in opposite directions.
Why it matters
A sensitive measure of dietary inflammatory load, and responsive within weeks to change.
The proportion of industrially produced trans fats in your cell membranes.
Why it matters
Trans fats raise cardiovascular risk more than any other dietary fat. This shows your real exposure.
