Bodybuilder Profile - (£180)

Bodybuilder Profile
The Bodybuilder Profile is an advanced blood test designed to assess the impact of intense training, supplementation, and performance enhancement on overall health. It provides a detailed overview of hormonal balance, organ function, and metabolic performance to ensure safe progress and optimal results for those pursuing muscle growth, strength, and endurance.

Indications for testing
This profile is recommended for individuals who are:
– Engaged in advanced bodybuilding, powerlifting, or physique competition training.
– Using or considering anabolic steroids, testosterone boosters, or other performance enhancers.
– Experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, reduced strength, or hormonal imbalance.
– Monitoring the effects of supplements, high-protein diets, or cutting and bulking cycles.
– Focused on maximising performance while protecting liver, kidney, and cardiovascular health.

What can be detected?
The Bodybuilder Profile measures critical health markers across key body systems:

Hormonal health:
– Total Testosterone: Indicates overall testosterone levels vital for muscle development and libido.
– Free Testosterone (calculated): Measures the biologically active testosterone available for use.
– Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): Regulates testosterone activity and hormonal balance.
– Albumin: Supports hormone transport and reflects protein status.
– Estradiol (E2): Monitors estrogen balance, particularly during testosterone use.
– Luteinising Hormone (LH) & Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Evaluate natural testosterone production and pituitary function.
– Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Assesses thyroid activity linked to energy, metabolism, and recovery.

Metabolic health and lipids:
– HbA1c: Measures long-term glucose control and insulin sensitivity.
– Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL: Provide a full lipid profile to assess cardiovascular risk and dietary impact.

Liver and kidney function:
– ALT, AST, Gamma-GT, Total Bilirubin: Monitor liver enzyme levels to detect stress from supplements or intense training.
– Urea, Creatinine, Uric Acid, eGFR: Evaluate kidney filtration and metabolic waste processing efficiency.

Blood health:
– Full Blood Count (FBC): Reviews red and white blood cell levels and platelets, essential for oxygen transport, recovery, and immune function.

Who is this test for?
This test is ideal for bodybuilders, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts aiming to optimise performance safely. It supports ongoing monitoring of hormonal and organ health during training, helping prevent long-term complications while enhancing strength, endurance, and recovery.
