Description
Blood viscosity is a measure of the thickness and stickiness of your blood. It measures how easily your blood flows through your vessels. It is an indicator of how much friction is being generated between your blood and the walls of your blood vessels, how hard your heart is working to pump your blood, and how easily oxygen is being delivered to your heart, your brain, your muscles, and every other tissue in your body. Blood viscosity affects the health of every part of your body. Best of all, blood viscosity can easily be improved with diet and other lifestyle-based interventions.
The ULTIMATE hormone profile is the most complete urine hormone panel on the market and provides both broad and in-depth evaluation of hormone balance and function. This panel measures estrogens and clinically relevant estrogen metabolites, which allow for assessment of cancer risk factors and detoxification pathways. Pregnanediol assays progesterone activity in the body. DHEA, testosterone and their metabolites provide a detailed assessment of androgen function. Cortisol, cortisone, aldosterone and their metabolites provide an industry-leading evaluation of adrenal health. Urinary free T3 and free T4 provide a sensitive gauge of thyroid hormone status. The PLUS profile also calculates 5a – Reductase and 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase II enzyme activity. 5a – Reductase is an important enzyme that governs androgen metabolism and is associated with insulin resistance and other conditions. 11β-HSD determines the balance between cortisol and cortisone. hGH, Oxytocin, and Melatonin are also measured. Overall, the PLUS profile provides an ideal method for assessing hormonal balance and for monitoring bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
