What's Tested
  • Total Cholesterol

    A measure of the total sum of cholesterol (LDL, HDL, and VLDL) circulating in the body.

  • Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL ) Cholesterol

    Measures the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is known as the “bad” cholesterol because LDL particles can build up in the walls of your arteries, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

  • Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) Cholesterol

    Measures the amount of VLDL cholesterol in blood, the cholesterol carried in particles that also carry triglycerides throughout the body and are then converted to LDL. Elevated VLDL levels can increase your risk of heart disease.

  • High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol

    Measures the amount of HDL cholesterol in the blood. HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it comes from particles that remove "bad "cholesterol from the body, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.

  • Triglycerides

    Measures the amount of triglycerides, a type of fat that circulates in your blood and comes from adipose, the primary fat stored from food used to provide your energy. High triglyceride levels can increase the risk of heart disease.

FAQ

  • While a cholesterol blood test can assess your risk of cardiovascular disease, there are other contributing factors. The most common are unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol use and high-sodium or high-fat diets. To improve your overall heart health, consider taking steps to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels through healthy dietary choices and regular exercise.4

Very happy with results! Hope it keeps going!

My cholesterol has always been on the high side but now my doctor wanted me to go onto the statin drugs to bring down. I read about this supplement that promised to bring down your LDL & triglycerides and I was desperate not to go on the statins. I...

Pressured to take statins instead of diet/exercise

Was being pressured by my cardiologist to take statins for high cholesterol & LDL. Decided to try diet/exercise even though the Dr. said it was likely hereditary and insinuated that diet/exercise wouldn’t make much of a difference. 6 Months and 30lb...
