About this test

  • Chronic inflammation or joint stiffness
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Mood changes or low mood

  • Poor recovery after exercise
  • Frequent infections or weakened immune response
  • Cardiovascular concerns (e.g. elevated blood pressure or cholesterol)
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Digestive discomfort

Recommended for individuals interested in assessing their inflammatory balance, especially those experiencing symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint discomfort, or skin issues. Ideal for people with cardiovascular risk factors, inflammatory conditions, or those following specific diets (e.g. vegan, ketogenic, or high-fat). Also suitable for anyone taking a proactive approach to optimising nutrition, recovery, or long-term health.

  • Chronic low-grade inflammation
  • Cardiovascular disease and elevated heart disease risk
  • Metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance
  • Obesity and weight-related inflammation
  • Cognitive decline or mood disorders
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Skin conditions (e.g. eczema, psoriasis)
  • Joint pain or inflammatory arthritis
  • Poor recovery after physical activity
  • Omega-3 deficiency or dietary imbalance
