Men's Essentials LIS Code: NW-05
Comprehensive vitamin and antioxidant blood test to measure Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and CoQ10. Detect deficiencies, fight ageing, and enhance vitality.
What's included in this profile
- An enzyme found mainly in the liver
- Raised levels can indicate liver inflammation or damage
- Commonly checked alongside AST to assess liver health
- An enzyme found in the liver, heart and muscles
- Raised levels can suggest liver or muscle damage
- Used alongside ALT to help pinpoint the cause of liver stress
- Total cholesterol divided by HDL cholesterol
- A widely used singlefigure measure of cardiovascular risk
- Lower ratios are generally more favourable
- Measures red cells, white cells and platelets
- A foundational test for overall health, anaemia and infection
- The 'Differential' breaks white cells down by specific type
- Often called 'good' cholesterol
- Helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream
- Higher levels are generally protective for heart health
- Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 23 months
- The main test used to diagnose and monitor diabetes
- Not affected by what you ate that day, unlike glucose
- A more sensitive version of the standard CRP test
- Used to detect lowgrade inflammation linked to heart disease risk
- Interpreted differently to standard CRP
- Often called 'bad' cholesterol
- Can build up in artery walls, raising heart disease risk
- A key target for lifestyle or treatment intervention
- An enzyme produced by the pancreas to help digest fats
- A more specific marker than amylase for pancreatic problems
- Raised levels often indicate pancreatitis
- A geneticallydetermined type of cholesterol particle
- Raised levels are an independent risk factor for heart disease
- Usually only needs checking once, as levels are largely inherited
- Total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol
- Captures all the 'harmful' cholesterol particles in one figure
- Increasingly used alongside LDL for cardiovascular risk assessment
- A protein that binds testosterone and oestrogen in the blood
- Affects how much hormone is 'free' and active
- Needed to accurately interpret total testosterone results
- The primary male sex hormone, also present in women
- Affects energy, muscle mass, libido and mood
- Low levels in men can cause fatigue and reduced sex drive
- The overall amount of cholesterol in the blood
- A key marker for cardiovascular risk
- Interpreted alongside HDL, LDL and triglycerides
- A type of fat found in the blood, from food and the liver
- Raised levels are linked to heart disease and metabolic conditions
- Affected by diet, alcohol and blood sugar control
About this profile
The Youth Vitamins Profile is a targeted test designed to measure essential vitamins and antioxidants that play a vital role in slowing down the ageing process, enhancing skin health, and supporting heart, brain, and immune function. By assessing key nutrients that protect cells from oxidative stress, this profile helps maintain energy, vitality, and long-term wellness.
Indications for testing
The Youth Vitamins Profile is recommended for individuals who:
– Want to maintain youthful energy, glowing skin, and overall vitality.
– Experience fatigue, dull complexion, or lowered immunity.
– Are exposed to high levels of stress, pollution, or toxins contributing to oxidative damage.
– Seek to optimise their nutritional status as part of anti-ageing or preventive health programs.
What can be detected?
This test identifies imbalances or deficiencies in key antioxidants and vitamins responsible for protecting against premature ageing and cellular damage:
Vitamin A: Essential for healthy skin, vision, and immune function. Low levels can lead to dry skin, impaired healing, and increased vulnerability to infections.
Vitamin E: A potent antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress, reduces inflammation, and supports cardiovascular and immune health.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Crucial for cellular energy production and antioxidant defence. Deficiency can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, and increased oxidative stress, especially with age or statin use.
By detecting these deficiencies early, this profile enables precise nutritional support to promote longevity, youthful appearance, and enhanced energy levels.
Who is this test for?
This test is suitable for individuals interested in anti-ageing, wellness optimisation, and preventive health. It is particularly beneficial for those managing chronic oxidative stress, fatigue, or visible signs of ageing, and for individuals taking medications that may lower antioxidant levels.
Key benefits
The Youth Vitamins Profile helps assess the body’s antioxidant capacity and nutrient balance, supporting proactive health management, improved vitality, and protection from oxidative damage.
