Blood values for strength athletes
Blood values show your condition from the inside, past anything the mirror tells you. Training hard shifts some values for a while, muscle and liver markers among them. Look up a value and read its reference range. You also see when a result genuinely needs attention.

Magnesium (Intracellular)
Intracellular magnesium testing reveals whether your cells have the magnesium needed for muscle power, recovery, and testosterone support.
Melatonin
Melatonin is the body's primary sleep hormone, and quality sleep is fundamental to men's health, including testosterone production, muscle recovery, and mental sharpness.
Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) (Blood)
MMA Blood measures a functional marker of B12 status in your blood.
Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) (Urine)
MMA Urine offers a non-invasive assessment of functional B12 status.
Microalbumin (Urine)
Microalbumin testing is an important part of men's kidney health monitoring.
Monocytes
Your monocyte value tells you how many of these white blood cells were travelling through your blood at the moment of the draw, and a persistently raised count fits a longer-running inflammatory process.
NT-proBNP
According to the NHG, when the wall of the heart's chambers comes under tension from too much pressure or too much fluid, the heart muscle cells make extra BNP, with NT-proBNP as the inactive split-off product.
Neutrophils
Neutrophils are the most common white blood cells and your first defence against bacterial infections. As part of your complete blood count, they show how your immune defence is doing.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Lipoproteins are the particles that carry cholesterol through the blood, and the CVRM guideline calls the lipoproteins that carry the protein apoB the 'bad' ones.
Omega 3 + 6
The omega-3/omega-6 balance directly affects inflammation and cardiovascular health. Optimising this ratio supports recovery, joint health, and long-term vitality.
Omega-3 Index
The Omega-3 Index measures your cardiovascular protection level from omega-3 fats. Optimal levels support heart health, inflammation control, and overall vitality.
Oxalate
Urinary oxalate testing is relevant for men's kidney health, as men are more likely to develop kidney stones than women.
Oxidized LDL
oxLDL is the most damaging form of cholesterol for your arteries. Monitoring it helps target the root cause of plaque build-up.
PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
PSA is the cornerstone of prostate health monitoring for men. Regular monitoring enables meaningful trend analysis that supports informed decisions about your men's health.
PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium and phosphorus in the blood and plays a key role in bone strength.
Parathyroid Hormone (intact)
Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium balance, which is essential for bone strength, muscle function, and nerve signalling in men.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus fuels energy production and bone strength. Proper levels support the physical demands of an active male lifestyle.
Platelets (Thrombocytes)
Your platelet count tells you how many platelets are circulating in your blood. Platelets are the fragments that seal a small wound and stop bleeding.
Potassium
Potassium is essential for strong muscle contractions, heart rhythm, and blood pressure regulation. Optimal levels help maintain energy and physical performance.
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is the foundational precursor for testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol production in men. Understanding your pregnenolone levels can help assess the raw material available for maintaining optimal male hormone balance.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a pituitary hormone that, when elevated in men, may suppress testosterone production and affect libido and energy. Monitoring prolactin is important for understanding your complete hormonal picture.
Protein (Urine)
Protein in urine testing is an important component of men's kidney health assessment.
RDW
RDW shows how much your red blood cells vary in size and can give an early clue before other values change.
Reticulocytes
A reticulocyte count measures the number of young, immature red blood cells in your blood.
