Bone Health Check
$199 AUD
Gain deeper insights into your bone health with this comprehensive test, including P1NP for bone formation, CTX for bone resorption, and key minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphate for strong bones and muscle function. It also measures Vitamin D to support bone density and PTH (Parathyroid Hormone) to assess calcium regulation and bone metabolism. Ideal for those concerned about bone loss, osteoporosis, or maintaining peak bone strength as they age.
Understanding your bone turnover is key to maintaining strong, healthy bones as you age. This test not only measures P1NP (a telopeptide) and CTX (a propeptide) for insights into bone formation and resorption, but also includes critical nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and phosphate that support bone structure. Vitamin D is included to assess bone density and immune function, while PTH (Parathyroid Hormone) provides insight into calcium regulation and bone metabolism. Together, these markers help identify early signs of bone loss, monitor osteoporosis risk, and guide personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies for optimal bone health.
What we test
Bone Health
This panel measures the key nutrients and hormones essential for bone health, including Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) for calcium regulation, Vitamin D for bone density, Calcium for bone strength, Phosphate for bone formation, and Magnesium for bone structure and muscle function.
Bone Formation & Turnover
P1NP is a marker of bone formation which is released during the production of collagen and reflects the rate of new bone growth. CTX on the other hand, is a marker of bone resorption, released during collagen break down and bone turnover. Together, these markers provide a comprehensive picture of bone metabolism, helping assess bone strength, monitor osteoporosis risk, and evaluate the effectiveness of bone-targeted therapies.
Test instructions
Fast from all food and drink (other than water) for at least 8 hours, and no more than 12 hours prior to your test.
