Biomarkers Included
16 biomarkersA broad panel covering hormones, cardiovascular markers, metabolic health, liver and kidney function, thyroid, and vitamin D in a single blood draw. Designed to give men a wide-angle snapshot of multiple body systems at once.
Why this test?
Viewing individual markers in isolation can miss the bigger picture. Testosterone interacts with metabolic health, lipid levels influence cardiovascular risk, and thyroid function affects energy and body composition. This panel brings these systems together so that patterns and connections between markers become visible, rather than looking at each one separately.
Who is this test for?
This panel may be relevant for:
- Men who want a single, broad overview of their health status
- Those who are actively working on fitness, nutrition, or lifestyle changes and want data to track progress
- Men who prefer one blood draw covering multiple systems rather than ordering separate tests
- Anyone looking to establish a personal health baseline for future comparison
What is tested?
- Total Testosterone (nmol/l, male ref: 8.64-29) and Free Testosterone (pmol/L, male ref: 170-700): circulating and bioavailable testosterone.
- SHBG (nmol/l, male ref: 18.3-54.1): binding protein that influences how much testosterone is bioavailable.
- TSH (mu/l, ref: 0.27-4.2) and Free T4 (pmol/l, ref: 12-22): thyroid function markers that can influence energy, metabolism, and body weight.
- Total Cholesterol (mmol/l), HDL Cholesterol (mmol/l), LDL Cholesterol (mmol/l), and Triglycerides (mmol/l): lipid profile for cardiovascular context.
- Glucose Fasting (mmol/l) and HbA1c (mmol/mol): blood sugar regulation markers.
- hs-CRP (mg/l): a marker that may reflect low-grade inflammation.
- ALT (u/l): a liver enzyme that can indicate liver stress.
- Creatinine (umol/l): a marker of kidney function.
- Ferritin (ug/l): reflects iron storage levels.
- Vitamin D 25-OH (nmol/l): vitamin D status, which may play a role in energy, immunity, and mood.
What can this test tell you?
By covering hormones, metabolism, cardiovascular markers, and organ function in one panel, the results may reveal connections that single-system tests could miss. For example, low energy might be associated with suboptimal testosterone, thyroid function, vitamin D status, or iron stores. Elevated fasting glucose alongside shifted lipid values could point toward metabolic changes worth monitoring. The value of this panel lies in seeing these markers together, which can inform a more nuanced conversation with a healthcare provider.
How is the sample collected?
A blood sample is drawn at a certified sample point (afnamepunt). There are over 750 locations across the Netherlands. After placing your order, you can select a location and time that suits your schedule. The appointment typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
When is this test useful?
This panel may be useful when:
- You want a broad health overview without ordering multiple separate tests
- You are starting a new fitness or nutrition program and want baseline data
- You have symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or reduced performance and want to explore multiple possible factors
- You want to compare current values against a previous set of results
What do the results mean?
Each marker is presented with its reference range. Some markers, like testosterone, are best interpreted in combination with binding proteins such as SHBG. Lipid values and blood sugar markers are typically reviewed as a group rather than individually. A single value slightly outside the reference range does not necessarily indicate a problem; trends over time and the overall pattern tend to be more informative. A healthcare provider can help put the results in context.
Preparation
Fasting for 8 to 12 hours is required for accurate glucose, insulin, and lipid readings. Testing in the morning is recommended, as testosterone levels tend to be highest early in the day. Water is fine during the fasting period.
What happens after the results?
Results are typically available within a few business days. Your report includes values alongside reference ranges for each marker. If anything falls outside the expected range, or if you want to understand how different markers may relate to each other, consider discussing the results with a healthcare provider.

What We Test
This panel includes 16 biomarkers, each tested at a certified laboratory using medical-grade equipment.
HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is the gold standard for long-term blood sugar monitoring and diabetes management.
Learn moreALT (alanine aminotransferase) is a liver enzyme that serves as a key indicator of liver health. Elevated levels may suggest liver cell damage and can be associated with various liver conditions.
Learn moreThyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and serves as the master regulator of thyroid function. TSH levels may help indicate whether the thyroid is producing appropriate amounts of hormones. Your healthcare provider can interpret your TSH results.
Learn moreTriglycerides are the most common type of fat in the body, used for energy storage. Elevated levels may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially when combined with other lipid abnormalities.
Learn moreCreatinine is a waste product generated by normal muscle metabolism that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. It is widely regarded as the gold standard marker for evaluating kidney function, as consistent production makes it a reliable indicator of filtration efficiency.
Learn moreFasting glucose measures the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood after an overnight fast. It is one of the primary tests used to screen for and monitor diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Learn moreFree T4 (thyroxine) is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It may serve as a precursor that your body converts into the more active T3. Healthcare providers often consider Free T4 a primary indicator of thyroid gland output.
Learn moreLDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol because elevated levels can lead to plaque build-up in artery walls, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Learn moreSex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. It helps regulate the amount of free, active hormones available in the body.
Learn moreTotal cholesterol measures the combined amount of HDL, LDL, and VLDL cholesterol in your blood. It provides an overview of your lipid status but should be interpreted alongside individual components for a complete cardiovascular risk picture.
Learn moreVitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function. It is primarily produced in the skin through sunlight exposure and can also be obtained from certain foods and supplements.
Learn moreFree testosterone is the unbound, bioavailable form of testosterone that can directly enter cells and activate receptors. It may indicate your body's functional androgen activity. Your healthcare provider can help interpret what your levels mean.
Learn moreTotal testosterone measures the combined amount of bound and free testosterone in the blood. As the primary androgen, testosterone may influence muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, and energy levels in both men and women.
Learn moreFerritin is a protein that stores iron in your cells and releases it when your body needs it. Blood ferritin levels reflect your body's total iron stores and are the most sensitive indicator for iron deficiency.
Learn moreHigh-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) measures very low levels of C-Reactive Protein in the blood. It is primarily used to assess cardiovascular risk by detecting low-grade chronic inflammation.
Learn moreHDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "good" cholesterol because it helps transport excess cholesterol from the arteries back to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with lower cardiovascular risk.
Learn moreHbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)
MetabolicHbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is the gold standard for long-term blood sugar monitoring and diabetes management.
HbA1c provides a long-term view of blood sugar control, unlike fasting glucose which reflects a single point in time. It is essential for diabetes diagnosis and management. Consult your healthcare provider.
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
LiverALT (alanine aminotransferase) is a liver enzyme that serves as a key indicator of liver health. Elevated levels may suggest liver cell damage and can be associated with various liver conditions.
ALT levels provide important insight into liver function. Elevated levels may indicate conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or medication-related liver damage. Early detection of elevated ALT can help identify liver problems before symptoms develop, allowing for timely intervention and lifestyle modifications.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
ThyroidThyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and serves as the master regulator of thyroid function. TSH levels may help indicate whether the thyroid is producing appropriate amounts of hormones. Your healthcare provider can interpret your TSH results.
TSH is widely considered the most sensitive initial screening test for thyroid disorders. Even subtle changes in thyroid function may be reflected in TSH levels before other thyroid markers become abnormal. Your healthcare provider may use TSH as a starting point for comprehensive thyroid evaluation.
Triglycerides
CardiovascularTriglycerides are the most common type of fat in the body, used for energy storage. Elevated levels may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially when combined with other lipid abnormalities.
Elevated triglycerides may contribute to atherosclerosis and are a component of metabolic syndrome. They are often elevated alongside insulin resistance. Consult your healthcare provider.
Creatinine
KidneyCreatinine is a waste product generated by normal muscle metabolism that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. It is widely regarded as the gold standard marker for evaluating kidney function, as consistent production makes it a reliable indicator of filtration efficiency.
Creatinine is central to assessing kidney health. It is used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which is the primary measure for staging chronic kidney disease. Early detection of rising creatinine levels can prompt timely intervention, helping to slow the progression of kidney damage. Monitoring creatinine is also important for adjusting medication dosages, as many drugs are cleared by the kidneys.
Glucose (Fasting)
MetabolicFasting glucose measures the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood after an overnight fast. It is one of the primary tests used to screen for and monitor diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Fasting glucose is a cornerstone of metabolic health assessment. Elevated levels may indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes, while very low levels can also be clinically significant. Consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.
Free T4 (Thyroxine)
ThyroidFree T4 (thyroxine) is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It may serve as a precursor that your body converts into the more active T3. Healthcare providers often consider Free T4 a primary indicator of thyroid gland output.
Free T4 may help your healthcare provider determine whether your thyroid gland is producing adequate hormone levels. Some experts consider it one of the most informative markers for detecting both overactive and underactive thyroid conditions early.
LDL Cholesterol
CardiovascularLDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol because elevated levels can lead to plaque build-up in artery walls, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
LDL cholesterol is a primary driver of atherosclerosis. Lowering elevated LDL is one of the most effective strategies for reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised targets.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
HormonesSex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. It helps regulate the amount of free, active hormones available in the body.
SHBG levels may help explain symptoms related to hormone imbalances even when total hormone levels appear normal. Understanding SHBG can provide a more complete picture of hormonal health. Consult your healthcare provider to interpret results.
Total Cholesterol
CardiovascularTotal cholesterol measures the combined amount of HDL, LDL, and VLDL cholesterol in your blood. It provides an overview of your lipid status but should be interpreted alongside individual components for a complete cardiovascular risk picture.
Total cholesterol is a basic screening marker for cardiovascular risk. However, the breakdown into HDL, LDL, and triglycerides provides more actionable information. Consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.
Vitamin D (25-OH)
VitaminsVitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function. It is primarily produced in the skin through sunlight exposure and can also be obtained from certain foods and supplements.
Adequate vitamin D levels are essential for strong bones, a well-functioning immune system, and overall well-being. Low levels may be associated with an increased risk of bone disorders, mood changes, and weakened immunity. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
Free Testosterone
HormonesFree testosterone is the unbound, bioavailable form of testosterone that can directly enter cells and activate receptors. It may indicate your body's functional androgen activity. Your healthcare provider can help interpret what your levels mean.
Free testosterone drives muscle development, energy levels, mood, and sexual function. Even when total testosterone appears normal, low free testosterone could suggest functional deficiency. Discussing your results with a healthcare provider may help identify whether further evaluation is warranted.
Total Testosterone
HormonesTotal testosterone measures the combined amount of bound and free testosterone in the blood. As the primary androgen, testosterone may influence muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, and energy levels in both men and women.
Testosterone plays a fundamental role in many bodily functions for both sexes. Imbalances could potentially affect energy, mood, body composition, and reproductive health. Your healthcare provider can help evaluate your levels in the context of your overall health.
Ferritin
MineralsFerritin is a protein that stores iron in your cells and releases it when your body needs it. Blood ferritin levels reflect your body's total iron stores and are the most sensitive indicator for iron deficiency.
Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy production, and immune function. Ferritin testing helps detect iron deficiency before anaemia develops, or iron overload which can damage organs. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
hs-CRP (High Sensitivity CRP)
InflammationHigh-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) measures very low levels of C-Reactive Protein in the blood. It is primarily used to assess cardiovascular risk by detecting low-grade chronic inflammation.
Even mildly elevated hs-CRP may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. It provides important information beyond traditional cholesterol testing for heart disease risk assessment. Consult your healthcare provider.
HDL Cholesterol
CardiovascularHDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "good" cholesterol because it helps transport excess cholesterol from the arteries back to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with lower cardiovascular risk.
HDL cholesterol is a key component of cardiovascular risk assessment. Low HDL may be associated with increased heart disease risk, while healthy levels support arterial protection. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised guidance.
