The benefits of the Supplement Control blood test

1

Optimize your heart, brain and bone health

Optimal Homocysteine levels and Omega-3 Index can reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and Alzheimer's, while Vitamin D is essential for bone health and prevents osteoporosis.

2

Keep your energy levels high with an optimal iron status

Checking your ferritin helps prevent iron deficiency and related fatigue. Based on your progression, we provide recommendations to help you maintain optimal ferritin levels.

3

Strengthen your blood and nerve functions

Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid are crucial for the formation of red blood cells and the health of the nervous system. Both vitamins support cell division and DNA synthesis. A deficiency of one of these vitamins can lead to anemia and neurological problems.

What biomarkers are tested?

icon-hexagon-cell-primary-500 Icon

Homocysteine

An amino acid and facultative intermediate in protein metabolism with vascular-damaging properties. Vitamins B12, B6 and Folic Acid play a decisive role in the conversion of Homocysteine into other essential substances in the body.

icon-hexagon-cell-primary-500 Icon

Omega-3 Index

Indicates the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids in the blood. Research suggests that a value of over 4.5% is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease or dementia.

Vitamin D

Plays an important role in the mineralisation process of your bones and reduces the risk of fractures. In addition, positive properties have been observed with regard to strengthening the immune system and reducing cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin B12 (Holo-Tc)

Vitamin B12 is important for haematopoiesis, cell division and regeneration of the mucous membranes as well as being necessary for healthy nerve cells. Sufficiently high levels help to reduce anaemia, neurological deterioration and slow wound healing.

icon-hexagon-cell-primary-500 Icon

Folic Acid (Vitamin B9)

Folic Acid (also known as vitamin B9) is essential for the formation of genetic material and blood cells. It also supports the absorption and formation of iron and Vitamin B12 and helps to reduce vascular-damaging processes. Folic Acid is therefore crucial in the development and maintenance of the organism.

Ferritin

It is the most important marker for assessing iron status in the body and the crucial element for the formation of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier in our red blood cells. It helps us to assess anaemia, iron overload disorders and liver overload.
