A comprehensive blood test to optimise your sport’s performance through specific monitoring of nutrition, hormone and stress levels, providing insight to prevent injury and overtraining.

For athletes, this broad blood test can provide valuable insights into various aspects of their health and performance. Here are some reasons why performing a comprehensive blood test is beneficial for sportspeople:

Nutrient Levels: Athletes often have increased nutritional needs. Blood tests can assess levels of essential nutrients such as vitamin D, and B12.
Hormonal Balance: Imbalances in hormones can impact athletic performance.
Iron and Anaemia: Endurance athletes, in particular, are at risk of iron deficiency and this Blood test can check for anemia, hemoglobin, and iron levels, which are crucial for oxygen transport and preventing fatigue.
Liver and Kidney Function: Intense training can put stress on the liver and kidneys. Blood tests evaluate markers such as liver enzymes and creatinine, providing insights into organ health and potential overtraining issues.
This also tests for Cholesterol Levels, Blood Glucose Levels, Liver function, and more.

Regular blood testing allows athletes and their healthcare providers to proactively manage their health, optimize training, and prevent potential issues that could hinder performance. It provides personalized insights to tailor nutrition, training, and recovery strategies, contributing to long-term athletic success.
