Hi to the forum - I've made a couple of posts but this is my first thread.

Whilst browsing the forum I've come across a few references to blood marker tests. I'm interested in getting this done both as a baseline for my overall general health and also to try and identify if there's anything that's causing me to feel fatigued a lot of the time. Whilst I'm at it I figure it would be a good idea to get my testosterone levels checked.

I have a couple of questions for the forum:

I've found a company online who carry out a multitude of tests via a postal service. UK based, has anyone used them? Have members in other countries used a similar type of service?

I assume that this test would negate the need for a specific fatigue test as it checks your red and white blood cell counts?

Has anyone actually diagnosed and fixed an issue as a result of this type of test? I'm interested to hear members experiences and advice in this area.

If think the test is a bit too basic for the intended purpose.
I would add:
- zinc and magnesium
- A, B, D, E, K vitamins
- TSH, free T3, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies (thyroid function)
- ACTH, pregnenolone, DHEA-S (adrenal function)
- LH, FSH, testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, DHT (or a metabolite)

That is a good guide line to start from.

That site isn't much informative with specifics of each test.
This may be a bit more informative to the guy.
