What is measured

What the panel measures, by area

The four cholesterol and triglyceride numbers most often discussed in conversations about heart health.

The 4 biomarkers on your report come from these tests, grouped by what each one looks at.

  • 4biomarkers
  • 4tests
  • 4areas

  • Overall cholesterol

    • Total Cholesterol

    The combined amount of cholesterol carried in your blood, and the number most people have seen before.

  • Low-density particles

    • LDL Cholesterol

    Cholesterol carried by low-density particles, measured directly here rather than estimated from the other numbers.

  • High-density particles

    • HDL Cholesterol

    Cholesterol carried by high-density particles, which return it to the liver for processing.

  • Circulating fat

    • Triglycerides

    The main form of fat circulating in your blood, and the lipid measure most responsive to recent meals and alcohol.

How it works

Three steps from order to results

  1. 1

    Order online

    Choose the plan or a one-time order. For the plan, you review its renewal terms at checkout.

  2. 2

    Get your draw

    Your lab requisition arrives in your account. Walk in to any of 5,000+ partner lab locations, or book ahead with that lab to skip the wait.

  3. 3

    Read your results

    Results are usually ready within a few business days of your draw, though some markers take longer.

Good to know

  • Physician-authorized. A physician in your testing partner's network authorizes the order, so you do not need to see your own doctor first.

  • Fasting. Fast for 8 to 10 hours before your draw where possible. Water and prescribed medication are fine.

  • At the draw. Bring photo ID. The draw itself usually takes under ten minutes from check-in.

  • Getting results. We email you as soon as they are ready, and you sign in to your account to read them.
