Regularly checking certain blood parameters can provide valuable insights into your health and the functioning of your body. Each parameter measured in a blood test has specific meanings and provides important information about various bodily functions. Here you will find a detailed explanation of what the individual parameters mean and what relevance they have for your health.
Sodium is crucial for regulating the water balance, nerve and muscle function and blood pressure.
Possible findings
↑ Elevated sodium level (hypernatremia)
May indicate dehydration, kidney disease or excessive salt consumption.
↓ Low sodium level (hyponatremia)
Can be caused by excessive fluid intake, kidney problems, heart failure or hormonal disorders.
Calcium is important for bone health, muscle contraction, nerve function and blood clotting.
Possible findings
↑ Elevated calcium level (hypercalcemia)
May indicate diseases such as hyperparathyroidism, certain types of cancer or vitamin D overdose.
↓ Low calcium level (hypocalcemia)
Can be caused by vitamin D deficiency, kidney problems or hypofunction of the parathyroid glands.
Magnesium plays a key role in muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation and protein synthesis.
Possible findings
↑ Elevated magnesium level (hypermagnesemia)
May occur with kidney failure, excessive magnesium intake or certain medications.
↓ Low magnesium level (hypomagnesemia)
May indicate malnutrition, alcohol abuse, digestive problems or diabetes.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and releases it when the body needs it. It is a good indicator of the iron stores in the body.
Possible findings
↑ Elevated ferritin level:
May indicate conditions such as hemochromatosis (excessive iron accumulation), inflammation, liver disease or infection.
↓
Low ferritin level
May indicate iron deficiency, which can lead to anemia, or chronic bleeding.
Folic acid (vitamin B9) is important for DNA synthesis, cell division and growth, especially during pregnancy.
Possible findings
↑
Elevated folic acid levels
Can occur rarely, as excess folic acid is usually excreted in the urine, but can occur with excessive supplementation.
↓
Low folic acid level
May cause megaloblastic anemia, birth defects in unborn children and increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Holotranscobalamin is the active transporter of vitamin B12 in the blood and is used as a marker for vitamin B12 status.
Possible findings
↑
Elevated holotranscobalamin level
Can occur with excessive vitamin B12 supplementation.
↓
Low holotranscobalamin level
May indicate vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to anemia, nerve damage and cognitive impairment.
Vitamin D3 is important for bone health, the immune system and general health.
Possible findings
↑
Increased vitamin D level
May indicate an overdose of vitamin D supplements.
↓
Low vitamin D level
Can lead to bone weakness (osteomalacia), rickets in children and increased risk of chronic diseases.
These parameters not only help in the diagnosis of deficiencies or excesses, but also in the early detection of health problems and the monitoring of chronic diseases.

It is certainly possible to have certain tests carried out by your family doctor. However, what ‘free’ means can vary. Traditional routes can often involve waiting times and multiple doctor visits, which can be especially challenging if you’re on a tight schedule or looking for quick answers to your health questions.
At Probatix, we are committed to offering you a more accessible and efficient alternative. Our aim is to provide you with uncomplicated access to your blood values without long waiting times. Even more important to us is that you can not only view your health data, but also understand it and actively use it to manage your health yourself.
Our vision is to promote better and proactive healthcare in Germany, which not only facilitates the early detection of diseases, but also helps to relieve the burden on doctors’ surgeries by avoiding unnecessary visits. We believe that an informed approach to one’s own health data is key to long-term well-being and efficient healthcare.
Probatix is a pure software company and does not analyze samples. We work together with professional laboratories specializing in capillary blood. They carry out the evaluation for us and we make the results available to our customers in a digital and comprehensible format.
There are different opinions among doctors on this topic. Some doctors are concerned that patients may have difficulty understanding and correctly interpreting their own blood values. They see the determination and interpretation of blood values as an area that should remain in the hands of doctors in order to avoid misunderstandings and false conclusions.
On the other hand, there are many doctors who recognize the benefits of easily accessible, digitally available and reliable blood tests. These doctors see that the active involvement of patients increases health awareness among the population. They value the low-threshold tests as a valuable addition to traditional blood tests and see that such services can improve early detection and better treat chronically ill patients.
It is important to speak to a doctor if the values are abnormal, as the actual treatment can only be carried out by doctors. Only they have the necessary knowledge and expertise to take the right therapeutic measures. The regular and validated laboratory tests from Probatix are very reliable, which means that duplicate tests are avoided. This enables doctors to start with a head start in terms of information, which increases the efficiency and accuracy of further medical care.
In addition, these tests can also be ordered by a doctor, creating a more comfortable patient experience. Patients can carry out tests from the comfort of their own home or at a Probatix partner nearby without having to wait. This reduces the need for frequent visits to the doctor and waiting times, while still ensuring professional monitoring and advice. At the same time, doctors are relieved of routine tasks, which gives them more time for individual patient care. The low-threshold service makes life easier for everyone involved. Together with doctors and other stakeholders in the healthcare system, we are creating a better, more efficient healthcare system for everyone. This development ultimately benefits everyone and contributes to improved healthcare.
Yes, Probatix blood tests are safe and reliable. Our tests are carried out under professional conditions. If there is a Probatix partner location near you, we recommend that you have the blood sample taken at one of our partner pharmacies. If you do not have a suitable location nearby, we offer you the option of ordering a home test kit and taking the sample yourself in the comfort of your own home. The analysis is then carried out in an accredited laboratory that specializes in capillary blood, so that you receive medically reliable blood values.
In most cases, the blood sample is taken by a professional Probatix partner, such as a pharmacy in your area. If there is no partner location near you, you can order a home test kit and take the sample yourself at home in just a few minutes.
Unfortunately, our tests are not yet covered by health insurance. After the test, you will receive an invoice from us which you can submit to your health insurance company for reimbursement – it’s worth giving it a try. At the same time, we are working hard to ensure that our tests will soon be covered by health insurance companies.
You will receive your results directly in your Probatix Health Portal. There you will also see simple explanations and timelines so that you can quickly recognize trends and changes and act accordingly.
Probatix differs from conventional home tests in that it offers professional and comprehensive support from sample collection to analysis. If you have a partner location near you, you can ideally have the sample taken by one of our professional partners, such as a pharmacy. This enables us to ensure that the entire process – from collection and transportation to analysis – is carried out to the highest quality standards. We are working every day to expand this network.
If there is no partner location near you, you can alternatively have a home test kit sent to you and conveniently take the sample yourself. In any case, you benefit from the digital traceability of your test results. In contrast to a simple PDF that you normally receive after a blood test, with Probatix you can view your results at any time and track them over longer periods of time. This allows you to continuously monitor your health and identify trends and changes.
The data at Probatix is protected according to the highest security standards. Probatix’s information security management system is also certified to ISO 27001 by TÜV Süd.
Short answer: No. If only because we are a software provider, while Theranos produced medical devices.
More detailed answer: With Probatix, we want to make it easier for people to access their own health data through our software. We act as an interface that connects users with qualified laboratories to have blood values professionally analyzed. We then make the results available digitally. Our role is that of a software provider that promotes transparency and accessibility in the healthcare sector.
In contrast, Theranos was a company that developed medical devices and misled both patients and investors with deliberately false promises. The machine manufactured by Theranos never worked and the samples were in fact secretly analyzed on real laboratory equipment. The book“Bad Blood” by John Carreyrou is highly recommended if you want to find out more.
If the test results are abnormal, we generally recommend that you consult a doctor for further clarification. This will soon also be possible directly via the Probatix platform.
