Metabolism Check Plus

Metabolism is the central system of our body that controls energy production, cell regeneration, and nutrient utilization . Imbalances or disruptions can lead to fatigue, weight fluctuations, and long-term health issues.

With the Metabolism Check Plus , you receive a comprehensive analysis of important metabolic values to detect imbalances early and counteract them specifically.

The test measures the following values:

• LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides: These blood fats are essential for fat metabolism and heart health. Unfavorable cholesterol levels can increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
• Creatinine: An important marker for kidney function. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney performance.
html
• Uric Acid: Provides information on the excretory function of the kidneys and possible metabolic disorders such as gout.
• Calcium: Essential for bone metabolism, muscle contraction, and nerve signal transmission.
• Vitamin B12: Necessary for blood formation, nerve function, and energy production. A deficiency can lead to fatigue and concentration problems.
• Folic Acid: Plays an important role in cell growth and blood formation. Particularly relevant for pregnant women and people with increased cell metabolism.
• HbA1c: The long-term blood sugar value provides insight into blood sugar regulation over the past 2–3 months and helps assess diabetes risk.

Why is this test important?

Metabolic disorders such as diabetes, lipid metabolism disorders, or nutrient deficiencies often develop insidiously and remain unnoticed for a long time. Regular monitoring of your metabolic values can help to counteract early and prevent long-term health damage.

How does the test work?

The procedure is simple: Using the supplied test kit, you take a small blood sample from your fingertip and send it to our certified specialist laboratory. Within a few days, you will receive a detailed report with understandable explanations of your metabolic values.

Symptoms for which you should take this test

The Metabolism Check Plus is particularly useful if you notice one or more of the following symptoms:

• Persistent fatigue or exhaustion
• Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
• Severe cravings or constant blood sugar fluctuations
• Muscle weakness or muscle cramps
• Frequent headaches or concentration problems
• Increased susceptibility to infections or weak immune system
• Joint pain or signs of gout
• Family history of diabetes or cardiovascular diseases

Test metabolism values now & optimize health

Stay informed and regularly check your key metabolic values.The Metabolism Check Plus

A healthy metabolism is essential for energy, weight control, and cardiovascular health. Many metabolic disorders such as diabetes or lipid metabolism disorders remain unnoticed for a long time. With the Metabolism Check Plus , you can monitor important values early and take targeted action.

• In cases of unexplained fatigue, exhaustion, or lack of motivation.
• If you suffer from overweight or unintended weight loss .
• In case of a family history of diabetes or lipid metabolism disorders.
• If you suspect elevated cholesterol levels or blood sugar problems .
• For regular monitoring of vitamin and mineral supply.

An early test helps you to specifically optimize your metabolism and reduce health risks.

LDL cholesterol

The biomarker LDL cholesterol is an important indicator of the risk of cardiovascular diseases. A high LDL cholesterol level can lead to arteriosclerosis, which in turn increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is therefore important to regularly monitor the LDL cholesterol level and, if necessary, reduce it through a healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly medication therapy.

HDL cholesterol

HDL cholesterol, also known as good cholesterol, is an important biomarker for heart health. A high HDL level in the blood is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, as it helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries. A healthy lifestyle with regular physical activity and a balanced diet can help increase HDL levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Triglyceride

Triglycerides are a type of fat molecule stored in the body as an energy reserve. A high triglyceride level in the blood can indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, regular monitoring of this biomarker is important to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

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.

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.

Calcium

Calcium is an important biomarker in the body, crucial for bone health, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. A calcium level in the blood that is too high or too low can lead to serious health problems. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor and correct the calcium level if necessary.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an important biomarker for health. A deficiency in this vitamin can lead to anemia, neurological problems, and other serious health complications. It is important to regularly check the vitamin B12 level and, if necessary, take supplements to avoid deficiency symptoms.

Folic Acid

Folic acid in serum or plasma: The measurement of folic acid is used to determine the folic acid level in the blood. Folic acid is important for the formation of red blood cells and the smooth functioning of the nervous system. Deviations from the normal folic acid level can indicate various medical conditions, including anemia, pregnancy complications, or malnutrition.

Long-term blood sugar (HbA1c)

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an important biomarker for long-term monitoring of blood sugar levels in diabetics. It provides information about the average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months and is therefore an important indicator for diabetes treatment and control. An elevated HbA1c level may indicate inadequate blood sugar management and increase the risk of diabetes complications.

What is examined in the Metabolism Check Plus?

The test analyzes key metabolic markers: LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, uric acid, calcium, vitamin B12, folic acid and HbA1c.

Who is this test suitable for?

The test is ideal for individuals who want to check their metabolism, blood sugar, and cholesterol – especially if there is a suspicion of nutrient deficiency, diabetes, or cardiovascular risks.

How does the sample collection work?

The sample collection 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 sending in the sample, you will typically receive your lab results digitally within 3–5 business days.

Why is the HbA1c level important?

HbA1c indicates the average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months and helps in early detection of diabetes or monitoring blood sugar control.

What does the lipid profile say about my health?

LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) can lead to vascular deposits, while HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol) transports cholesterol away from the vessels. A balanced lipid profile is crucial for heart health.

What role do vitamin B12 and folic acid play?

Vitamin B12 is essential for energy metabolism and blood formation. Folic acid is particularly important for cell growth and nerve function. A deficiency can lead to fatigue and concentration problems.

What happens if my values are outside the reference range?

If abnormalities are detected, you should discuss the results with a doctor. They can recommend further examinations or targeted measures.
