Can I have a blood test without a general practitioner?
Yes, certain laboratory tests can now be conducted without a direct appointment with your general practitioner through validated home tests. You take a small blood sample at home and have it analyzed in a medical laboratory. This way, you can keep an eye on important health values.
How reliable are at-home blood tests?
The crucial factor is that the analysis is conducted in a quality-assured laboratory using standardized methods. Then, blood tests with capillary blood are generally just as reliable as a blood draw in the practice. With clear instructions and certified partner laboratories, Probatix ensures that you can rely on your results.
Why should I take a test with Probatix instead of at the doctor's?
At Probatix, you can start blood tests flexibly at home - without waiting rooms, with clear step-by-step instructions and analysis in certified specialist laboratories. The results are prepared digitally, comprehensibly, and trackably, so you can easily monitor developments over time. This way, you can complement traditional medical care with comfortable, data-supported monitoring of your health with Probatix.
Fitness Profile: All details about the test
What benefits does this test offer me?
What benefits does this test offer me?
Whether endurance, strength, or recovery – your performance depends on muscles, metabolism, nutrients, and cardiovascular health. Imbalances or overloads can cause fatigue, long recovery times, or performance losses.
With the Fitness Profile , you receive an analysis of key blood values that show how resilient your body really is.
The test measures, among others:
- Creatine kinase & Creatinine: Marker for muscle metabolism and stress.
- Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D: Crucial for energy, nerve function, bones, and recovery.
- HbA1c: Long-term blood sugar level – important for energy metabolism.
- HDL, LDL cholesterol & Triglycerides: Indicators of your cardiovascular fitness.
- Calcium & Uric Acid: Relevant for muscle contraction, bone health, and metabolic balance.
Why is this test important?
Only when muscles, metabolism, and nutrients are in balance can training and recovery function optimally. The Fitness Profile helps to identify deficiencies or overloads early and specifically enhance your performance.
Who is the test suitable for?
Particularly suitable for fatigue, slow recovery, frequent muscle soreness, concentration problems, or noticeable blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Stay fit and resilient – with the Fitness Profile.
What do the measured values mean?
What do the measured values mean?
Creatine kinase is an important marker for muscle and heart diseases. Its determination allows for the early detection of damage to these tissues and is therefore an indispensable tool in clinical diagnostics.
Creatinine
Creatinine is a breakdown product of muscle metabolism that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. The creatinine level provides information about kidney function, with elevated levels potentially indicating a possible kidney dysfunction.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin needed for the formation of red blood cells, the function of the nervous system, and the production of DNA. It is found almost exclusively in animal foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
A deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to anemia, fatigue, concentration problems, and nerve damage. Those at increased risk for a deficiency include older adults, vegetarians, vegans, or individuals with absorption disorders in the intestine.
25-OH-Vitamin-D3
25-OH vitamin D is the storage form of vitamin D that the body produces in the liver from vitamin D formed by sunlight or food. Vitamin D supports calcium absorption, ensures healthy bones and teeth, and plays an important role for muscles, nerves, and the immune system.
The 25-OH vitamin D test is the best method to check vitamin D status. Low levels can indicate too little sunlight, an unbalanced diet, or diseases and are associated with bone diseases such as osteoporosis or rickets. Excessive levels usually result from too high supplement doses and can strain the kidneys and liver.
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. Low levels, on the other hand, increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and heart attack.
LDL cholesterol
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.
Triglyceride
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.
Calcium
Calcium is an essential mineral primarily stored in bones and teeth. It ensures the stability of the skeleton and plays an important role in muscle function, blood clotting, and nerve signal transmission. A blood test measures the proportion circulating in the blood.
Too low calcium levels can cause muscle cramps, tingling, or heart rhythm disturbances. Too high levels often indicate disorders of the parathyroid gland, certain tumors, or excessive intake of vitamin D.
Uric acid
Uric acid is a breakdown product of purines, which come from food or cells. An elevated level can not only lead to painful gout attacks but also indicate a metabolic imbalance that can strain the kidneys and joints in the long term.
Long-term blood sugar (HbA1c)
HbA1c is a long-term blood sugar value that indicates the average blood sugar level over the past two to three months. It is formed when sugar attaches to the red blood pigment hemoglobin. Since red blood cells live for about three months, the HbA1c value provides a good overview of long-term blood sugar control.
A high HbA1c value indicates poorly controlled or previously undetected diabetes. Normal values indicate stable and good blood sugar control.

FAQ - More Frequently Asked Questions about the Test
FAQ - More Frequently Asked Questions about the Test
What is examined in the fitness profile?
The fitness profile measures key biomarkers for muscles, cardiovascular system, and metabolism: Creatine kinase (CK), creatinine, vitamin B12, vitamin D, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, calcium, uric acid, and HbA1c (long-term blood sugar).
Who is this test suitable for?
The test is ideal for anyone who wants to keep an eye on their performance, recovery, and nutrient supply – especially athletes, active individuals, or people with high physical demands.
How does the sampling work?
The sampling is simple and painless via capillary blood from the fingertip. You will receive a test kit with clear instructions for easy home use.
How long does it take to receive my results?
After submitting the sample, you will typically receive your lab results digitally within 3–5 business days.
Why is creatine kinase (CK) measured?
Creatine kinase (CK) is an important marker for muscle metabolism and cellular stress. Elevated levels can indicate intense training, muscle fatigue, or overload.
What role do Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D play?
Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production, cell division, and nerve function. Vitamin D supports bone metabolism, muscle function, and the immune system.
What does the lipid profile say about my fitness?
A balanced lipid profile (HDL, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides) is crucial for healthy cardiovascular function and directly affects performance and endurance.
What happens if my values are outside the reference range?
If abnormalities are detected, you should discuss the results with a doctor. This way, further examinations can be arranged and targeted measures can be taken.
