Biomarkers included
- Zinc: Zinc is an essential trace mineral crucial for numerous bodily functions, including immune system function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. It plays a vital role in the activity of over 300 enzymes and is essential for growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence. Maintaining adequate zinc levels is important for overall health and preventing immune deficien
- Magnesium: Magnesium is an essential mineral crucial for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. 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.
- Selenium: Selenium is an essential trace mineral that plays a crucial role in antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, and immune function. It acts as a cofactor for selenoproteins, enzymes that protect cells from oxidative damage and are vital for DNA synthesis and reproduction. Measuring selenium levels can indicate nutritional status and potential risks for various health conditions related to de

Frequently asked questions
How does it work? / When do I get my results?
1. Order and receive your kit. 2. Perform the test. 3. Send a sample at the beginning of the week (to avoid delays). 4. Results digitally in 10–15 business days.
Can I take supplements at the same time?
Yes, you can take supplements, but your results will reflect your levels while using them. If you take magnesium, zinc, or selenium, their effects will be included in the results. If you want to measure your baseline levels, pause supplements for at least 3–7 days before testing. A longer break (2–4 weeks) may give a more accurate baseline, especially with long-term or high-dose use.
