WHY YOU SHOULD TEST THE HEALTH OF YOUR BONES
Here’s the good news …
Discover your bone health status and help prevent osteoporosis with our Healthy Bone Test. Good bones help you move, make blood, and store minerals. They also lower the chance of breaks and osteoporosis. Keep your bones strong by eating foods with calcium and vitamin D, exercising, and not drinking too much or smoking. Calcium makes bones stronger, vitamin D helps your body use it, and exercises like walking or lifting weights make bones denser and stronger too.
The not-so-good news is that Osteoporosis is often undiagnosed until a fracture happens. Late diagnosis is due to the lack of early symptoms, and risk factors being ignored. Remember, early intervention means a better outcome.
If you experience any of the following red-flags, a bone health test may be for you:
Abnormal test values may prompt referral to a physician for further investigation, potentially including bone scans to diagnose or rule out osteoporosis.
The analysis will determine the levels of osteocalcin.
For all sample collection kits, we use RAM Couriers next day delivery service.
An email will be sent from the courier company to the email address you provided with a link to the courier’s track and trace system, allowing you to track your shipment.
Instructions for the return of your sample are documented on the insert within the sampling kit.
