Advanced Longevity Blood Panel

Advanced blood testing panels assessing metabolic health, hormonal balance, inflammatory markers, nutrient levels, and cardiovascular risk factors to provide a precise picture of your current health and longevity trajectory.

The Advanced Longevity Blood Panel at R17 goes well beyond the standard blood count and lipid profile that most clinics offer. Designed for individuals who want actionable data on their biological health, these panels are curated by longevity physicians to capture the biomarkers most predictive of long-term health outcomes, energy levels, cognitive performance, and disease risk. Core panels typically include a full lipid profile with LDL particle size and ApoB measurement, fasting glucose and insulin for insulin sensitivity assessment, HbA1c for medium-term glucose control, a comprehensive metabolic panel covering liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT), kidney function (creatinine, eGFR, uric acid), and electrolytes. Thyroid function testing covers TSH, free T3, and free T4 to assess thyroid output and conversion. Beyond these foundational markers, R17's longevity focus extends to inflammation panels — hs-CRP, homocysteine, and ferritin — which are closely linked to cardiovascular and cognitive ageing. Hormonal panels assess testosterone (total and free), DHEA-S, cortisol, oestradiol, and IGF-1 to capture the hormonal environment that governs energy, muscle retention, libido, and cellular repair. Key micronutrient deficiencies commonly implicated in fatigue and accelerated ageing — vitamin D (25-OH), vitamin B12, folate, magnesium, zinc, and selenium — are included in comprehensive panels. Results are reviewed by a physician, not simply emailed, ensuring every abnormal finding is contextualised within your personal health goals and acted upon with a clear follow-up plan.
