A CMP includes 14 tests that provide information about blood sugar, electrolytes, proteins, and liver and kidney function. It is a useful general wellness test for someone wanting a broad snapshot of metabolic and organ health.

This test looks at red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets to give a broad picture of blood health.

Measures cholesterol and triglycerides while also providing ratios that can help assess cardiovascular risk.

This advanced cardiovascular test looks beyond standard cholesterol by measuring the number and size of lipoprotein particles and provides markers associated with insulin resistance.

Provides additional information about cardiovascular and vascular risk beyond standard cholesterol testing.

Measures a low level of inflammation and is often used as an additional marker when evaluating cardiovascular risk.

Measures circulating insulin and can provide information about insulin production, insulin sensitivity, blood-sugar regulation, and metabolic health.

Provides an estimate of average blood sugar over the previous several months rather than a single point-in-time glucose reading.

Measures uric acid as part of an evaluation of metabolic and overall health.

The primary blood test used to assess overall vitamin D status.

Evaluates B12 status, an important nutrient for red blood cell production, DNA synthesis, and normal nervous-system function.

Evaluates magnesium status, which plays an important role in muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, and numerous enzyme reactions.

Evaluates folate status, which is important for DNA production and healthy red blood cell development.

Provides a detailed look at iron levels, iron storage, and the body’s ability to transport iron.

Evaluates fatty-acid status as part of a nutrition, cardiovascular, or wellness evaluation. This test requires an 8-hour fast, including avoiding fish-oil supplements before the draw.

Cortisol is one of the body’s primary stress hormones and is produced by the adrenal glands.

Evaluates total testosterone along with the portion considered more biologically available to the body.

Measures both total and free prostate-specific antigen and provides additional information about prostate health.

Provides a broader look at thyroid function than a TSH test alone by including several thyroid-related measurements.

A nonspecific marker that can help identify whether inflammation may be present in the body.

Glutathione is one of the body’s major antioxidants and helps regulate cellular oxidative balance.

G6PD is an enzyme that helps protect red blood cells from oxidative stress. Testing may also be used as an important safety screening before certain treatments, including High-Dose IV Vitamin C.

Looks for antibodies that indicate exposure to the hepatitis C virus.
