Chronic Fatigue Screen (saliva and urine)
This test aims to identify underlying factors which may be contributing to this condition. It is made up of the Adrenal stress index and the Cellular energy profile.
Cardiovascular Health Profile (blood)
is a useful indicator of cardiovascular health.
Osteoporosis Risk Assessment (urine)
This test is useful for identifying people at risk of developing osteoporosis and for monitoring treatment.
