Standard Screen Plus (Male)
Standard Screen Plus for men screens 20 markers across eight areas of health from a single blood draw — heart and cholesterol, liver function, kidney function and salts, thyroid, blood sugar, iron and vitamin D, inflammation, plus a PSA prostate check and urinalysis.
SS Plus Hormonal (Male)
This panel combines a full Standard Screen Plus with an expanded male hormone profile in a single blood draw.
Advanced GP2 (Male)
Advanced GP2 for men screens 25 markers across eight areas of health from a single blood draw.
