New ZealandHeart and Bone Health
This focussed package is designed to help you investigate and importantly maintain strong cardiovascular and bone health, and monitor your blood sugar balance which has wide-reaching effects on the body.
Whats Included?
The Heart and Bone Health package tests 8 blood markers including investigating your cholesterol status, signs of inflammation, Vitamin D and your blood sugar balance (a useful indicator for diabetes).
Focus
Spikes and lows in blood sugar can be linked with lack of focus and energy. Unbalanced blood sugar can also lead to diabetes. The HbA1c marker in this test gives an indication of your blood sugar balance over the last 3 months.
Heart Health
Cholesterol is an essential component of our body, being used to make many different hormones, including oestrogen and testosterone. Having too much cholesterol however has been linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Inflammation
Inflammation affects our overall health, and importantly our heart health and blood cells. C-Reactive protein (CRP) is released by the liver if you have inflammation in the body, which could be a result of an injury, infection, a chronic health condition such as arthritis, an inflammatory illness, or repeated exposure to harmful substances like toxins in cigarette smoke.
Bone Health
Vitamin D allows the body to absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus. These are both important minerals for building and maintaining strong bones. Vitamin D also helps to keep teeth healthy and muscles strong.

I received my results really quickly for my health test and was impressed at how the results report was laid out. The analysis was very in depth and having individual descriptions for each health marker is not something I’ve seen before! Will definitely use again in the future for repeat testing.
