This blood kit is specifically for women and is to be completed via a finger prick test. When you complete your test, you send your blood back to the lab using the kit they provide for processing. Your results are then sent to you via email.
This kit tests for the following levels:
- Full Blood Count
- Iron
- Ferritin
- Vitamin D (25-OH)
- Vitamin B12 (Total)
- Folate (Serum)
- Magnesium (Serum)
- Glycated Haemoglobin
- Oestradiol
- C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity)
What is the benefit of this specific kit
This test builds upon the Bloods Home Kit by including a standard full blood count, Oestradiol and the inflammatory marker C Reactive Protein – (high sensitivity)
A full blood count is a standard broad screening tool for reviewing different parts of the blood, including Red Blood Cell parameters such as anaemia and the immune system’s white blood cells—the cells that help fight off infections.
Adipose fat cells strongly influence oestrogen levels, and any dramatic weight loss can decrease oestradiol levels—the primary oestrogen found in women. This can negatively impact bone health, mood, and cognitive functions, especially during the perimenopausal/menopausal years.
CRP (high sensitivity) is a test often used to check for early signs of inflammation and infection. This is important as the usual Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) used in such events are not recommended after surgery, as there is an increased risk of gastrointestinal concerns. Identifying any inflammatory states earlier can help to reduce such risks.
