Inflammation Test
Why Test for Inflammation?
Early detection of inflammation can help uncover hidden contributors to fatigue, pain, or weight gain, while also revealing underlying risk factors for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. Understanding your inflammatory status allows for more personalised nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies to reduce risk and improve wellbeing. Regular testing can also help you track your progress over time and measure the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory therapies or lifestyle changes.
You may benefit from testing if you:
- Experience chronic fatigue, aches, or low mood
- Have a family history of cardiovascular or autoimmune disease
- Have metabolic issues (high cholesterol, insulin resistance, obesity)
- Want to take a proactive approach to long-term health and longevity
What's included
hsCRP is a highly sensitive marker of systemic inflammation. Even small elevations in hs-CRP can signal ongoing immune activity and are linked to higher cardiovascular and metabolic risk.
IL-6 is a key inflammatory cytokine produced by immune and fat cells. Raised IL-6 indicates chronic low-grade inflammation and is often seen in metabolic syndrome, autoimmune conditions, and stress-related disorders.
Homocysteine is an amino acid that’s regulated by the body’s methylation process, which supports detoxification, energy production, and nervous system health. If methylation is not functioning efficiently, homocysteine can build up, which may raise the risk of heart and and neurological issues.
