Liver and Pancreatic Function:
– Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) & Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): Detects liver stress or damage.
– Lipase: Monitors pancreatic health and identifies potential inflammation or dysfunction.

Inflammatory Status:
– C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity - hsCRP): Measures low-grade inflammation, a predictor of cardiovascular and chronic disease risk.

Hormonal Health:
– Total Testosterone: Evaluates male hormone balance, essential for muscle mass, mood, and reproductive function.
– Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): Determines the bioavailability of testosterone, affecting overall energy and vitality.

Prostate Health:
– Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA): Screens for prostate inflammation, enlargement, or early signs of prostate cancer.

Blood Health:
– Full Blood Count (FBC): Analyses red and white blood cells and platelets, helping identify anaemia, infections, or blood disorders.
