Welche Vorteile bietet dieser Test für mich?
Bring your cholesterol levels into balance – for a healthy cardiovascular system.
The Cholesterol Status analyzes your blood lipid levels such as total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. These values are crucial for assessing your risk of cardiovascular diseases and taking early countermeasures.
Why test now? Elevated blood lipid levels often go unnoticed and can impair your vascular health in the long term. With the Cholesterol Status, you gain clarity about your current status and can take targeted action.
Your benefits:
- Targeted analysis: Measurement of the most important blood lipid levels for your heart health.
- Simple & convenient: Sample collection flexibly from home.
- Clear feedback: Your individual report shows your values compared to the normal ranges.

Was bedeuten die gemessenen Werte?
LDL cholesterol is referred to as "bad cholesterol" because it transports cholesterol from the liver to the body's cells. Excess LDL can deposit in the vessel walls and form so-called plaques. These deposits narrow the vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
High LDL levels are an important risk factor for arteriosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. Low levels, on the other hand, are considered beneficial for vascular health.
HDL cholesterol
HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good cholesterol" because it transports excess cholesterol from the vessels to the liver. There, it is broken down or recycled, reducing deposits in the arteries. Thus, HDL helps to keep the vessels healthy and free from calcifications.
High HDL levels are considered beneficial as they are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, low levels increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and heart attack.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that the body needs for many important functions. It is a building block of cell membranes, a precursor for hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and for the formation of bile acids. A portion is absorbed through food, but the majority is produced in the liver.
Too high cholesterol levels can lead to deposits in the vessel walls and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, a balanced level is important, as cholesterol is also indispensable for health.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are the main form of fats in the body and are primarily stored in fat cells. They are formed when excess energy from food is converted into fat. Some triglycerides circulate in the blood and serve as an energy source.
Elevated triglyceride levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, especially when LDL is high and HDL is low at the same time. Very high levels can also trigger inflammation of the pancreas.
Warum ist dieser Test wichtig?
The cholesterol status is crucial for monitoring your blood lipid levels and keeping your cardiovascular system healthy.
- Blood lipid levels & energy balance: Analysis of key blood lipids for metabolism and energy.
- Cholesterol levels: Ensuring balanced total cholesterol.
- Cardiovascular protection: Evaluation of "good" HDL cholesterol that transports excess cholesterol away.
- Cardiovascular risk: Monitoring "bad" LDL cholesterol that can promote deposits in the vessels.

- High blood pressure
- Diabetes or insulin resistance
- Family history of heart disease or strokes
- Unhealthy diet with high fat or sugar content
