IGF-1 test to assess bone and tissue growth and development.

Specialty biomarker testing measures advanced markers that go beyond standard blood panels to provide deeper insight into specific biological pathways. These tests are commonly used in functional and integrative medicine to identify root causes of symptoms, assess cellular health, and guide personalized treatment protocols. Markers like IGF-1 reflect growth hormone activity and aging, lipoprotein(a) reveals inherited cardiovascular risk invisible to standard lipid panels, and neurotransmitter profiles can explain mood and cognitive symptoms. Results enable highly targeted interventions that standard tests would miss.

What's Included

Advanced biomarker analysis
Results with functional medicine reference ranges
Clinical interpretation and recommendations

Preparation Required

Fasting may be required depending on the specific marker. Follow your clinic's instructions. Some tests require morning samples for accurate results. Bring a list of all supplements — many affect these markers.

Biomarkers Tested

1
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) ng/mL

A hormone produced mainly by the liver in response to growth hormone. IGF-1 mediates many of growth hormone's effects on tissue growth and repair. It's more stable than GH, making it a better marker for growth hormone status.
