Biomarkers included

• Glucose: Glucose is the body’s primary source of energy and is especially important for brain and muscle function. Blood glucose is tightly regulated by insulin and other hormones to keep levels within a healthy range. Measuring glucose is central to evaluating metabolic health and is used in the assessment of diabetes, insulin resistance, and hypoglycemia. Persistently elevated glucose may indicate impair
• Oleic acid (OA): Oleic acid (OA) is a monounsaturated fatty acid that is the most abundant fatty acid in the human diet and adipose tissue. It is a key component of cell membranes and an important source of energy, playing a role in metabolic processes and cellular signaling. Elevated levels of oleic acid can sometimes be associated with certain metabolic conditions.
• Citrulline: Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid produced mainly by enterocytes (cells lining the small intestine) and is involved in nitrogen handling as part of the urea cycle. In the body, citrulline can also be converted into arginine, supporting pathways such as nitric oxide production. Because circulating citrulline largely reflects small-intestinal enterocyte function and mass, it is often used as
• Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: The total cholesterol/HDL ratio compares total cholesterol with HDL cholesterol. HDL is often referred to as “good” cholesterol because it is involved in transporting cholesterol away from tissues and back to the liver. This ratio helps show the balance between overall cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. A higher ratio may suggest a less favorable lipid pattern, while a lower ratio may indicate a mor
• Taurine: Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, though not incorporated into proteins, that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. It is vital for bile acid conjugation, osmoregulation, membrane stabilization, and neurotransmission. Its levels can indicate nutritional status, cardiovascular health, and neurological function.
• Threonine: Threonine is an essential amino acid, meaning the human body cannot produce it and it must be obtained through diet. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, immune function, and maintaining structural components like collagen and elastin. Imbalances in threonine levels can impact growth, metabolism, and nerve function.
• Non-HDL Cholesterol: Non HDL cholesterol represents the total amount of cholesterol carried by all cholesterol containing particles except HDL. This includes LDL cholesterol and other particles that may contribute to cholesterol buildup in blood vessels. Because it includes more cholesterol carrying particles than LDL alone, non HDL cholesterol can provide a broader view of lipid related cardiovascular risk. It may be
• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage caused by free radicals. It is crucial for immune function, skin health, and red blood cell formation. Measuring Vitamin E levels helps assess nutritional status and antioxidant capacity.
• Testosterone: Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, although it is also produced in smaller amounts in women. It plays a crucial role in male reproductive development, muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive. In women, testosterone contributes to libido, muscle mass, and bone health. Imbalances can lead to various issues, including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction (in men), fatigue, loss of muscl
• Kidney Filtration Rate (eGFR): Estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR, is a calculated marker used to assess how well the kidneys are filtering blood. It is commonly calculated from creatinine and provides insight into kidney filtration capacity. A lower eGFR may indicate reduced kidney filtration and can be relevant when evaluating kidney function over time. eGFR should be interpreted together with creatinine, age, overall

It serves as a key fuel source for rapidly dividing cells, including immune cells and intestinal cells (enterocytes), supporting immune function and gut barrier integrity. Glutamine also participates in pathways related to acid–base balance and t
• Creatinine: Creatinine is a waste product formed in muscles from the normal breakdown of creatine. It is released into the bloodstream and filtered by the kidneys, then excreted in urine. Because creatinine levels are influenced by how efficiently the kidneys filter blood, it is commonly used to assess kidney function. Elevated creatinine may indicate reduced kidney filtration or kidney disease, while low lev

It also plays a vital role in bone health, DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. Maintaining optimal magnesium levels is important for overall health and preventing various chronic diseases.
• Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): DHA is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid and a major structural component of cell membranes, particularly in the brain and retina. It supports normal brain development and function and contributes to visual health. The body can produce only small amounts of DHA from shorter-chain omega-3s, so DHA is primarily obtained through diet (for example, fatty fish and algae) or supplements. Adequate DHA stat

It supports fat-based energy production, especially in tissues with high energy demands such as skeletal muscle and the heart. Low carnitine availability can reduce the efficiency of fatty acid metabolism and may
• HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c): HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) measures the average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months by assessing the percentage of hemoglobin in red blood cells that is coated with sugar. It's a crucial indicator for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes, as persistently high levels denote poor long-term glucose control, increasing the risk of diabetes-related complications. This test provides a more stable an
• Proline: Proline is a non-essential amino acid, meaning the body can synthesize it, but it also comes from the diet. It plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, a primary structural protein in connective tissues, skin, and bones. Therefore, proline levels can indirectly reflect collagen turnover and overall connective tissue health.

It serves as a precursor for crucial molecules like serotonin (a neurotransmitter regulating mood, sleep, and appetite) and melatonin (a hormone central to sleep-wake cycles). Optimal tryptophan levels are vital for neurological function, mental health, and sleep regulation.
• HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is a type of cholesterol often referred to as “good” cholesterol. It helps protect heart health by carrying excess cholesterol from the bloodstream to the liver, where it can be removed from the body. Higher HDL levels are associated with a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.

It reflects long-term dietary intake of omega-3s and is considered a strong predictor of cardiovascular health risk. A higher Omega-3 Index is associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
• LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is a type of cholesterol often referred to as “bad” cholesterol. It carries cholesterol particles through the bloodstream, and high levels can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries. This buildup, known as atherosclerosis, can narrow and stiffen arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
