Vitamin D Test

​

Vitamin D plays a key role in your overall health, supporting strong bones and teeth, proper brain, nervous and immune system function, cardiovascular health and more. With nearly half the US population estimated to be deficient in this essential nutrient, it is critical that you know your exact levels so that you can restore your body to optimal wellness.

Collection Method: Blood Spot

*New York State law prohibits the shipment of lab products to New York

*EquiLife has temporarily suspended lab sales into the State of Washington through December 31, 2024.

​

Vitamin D plays a key role in over 300 processes in our body, making it no wonder that it is considered essential. While we can synthesize Vitamin D from direct exposure to the sun, the majority of us will not get enough consistent exposure to ensure levels stay in a healthy range.

To make sure you know exactly where you stand, we recommend taking this simple at-home lab test, which will measure your D3, D2 and total Vitamin D levels, plus provides recommendations on how to bring your levels back into balance.

WHAT IS MEASURED

With the majority of us not synthesizing enough Vitamin D from direct sunlight, and limited food sources that provide a significant amount of this essential nutrient, it’s no wonder that having low Vitamin D levels is common. Understanding your exact levels will allow you to take back control of your health, including your immune strength, energy and so much more!

Thyroid Panel Test

The Complete View of Your Thyroid and Metabolism

 

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland that sits just below your larynx and produces the vital hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Every cell in the body depends on these thyroid hormones for metabolism regulation. If these hormones drop too low, the pituitary gland will produce additional Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to stimulate hormone production. If you have concerns about your energy level, metabolism or overall wellbeing, it is critical to evaluate the balance of these intricately connected hormones with this comprehensive thyroid panel test.

• New York State law prohibits the shipment of lab products to New York.

Women's Wellness Test

How to Rebalance Today and Stay Well for Years to Come

 

As we age, it's common for hormone levels to fluctuate. While estrogen is thought of as the primary female hormone, it also has a very important relationship with progesterone.

Additionally, measuring your cortisol will give you an in depth look at how stress may be impacting your hormone levels and your overall health.

Men's Wellness Test 

Get in Control of Your Wellness and Perform at Your Peak

​

Testosterone plays a key role in men's health and is responsible for everything from muscle size/strength to sex drive and bone health. As men age, it's common for testosterone levels to drop, leading to a decrease in ambition, libido, energy and overall vitality. While testosterone is a critical component, it may not provide the full picture of men's hormonal health. In order to go deeper, this comprehensive test also looks at the precursor hormone DHEA, plus cortisol to understand how the balance of these related hormones may be affecting your health.

Decreasing testosterone levels are common as we age, and can lead to an overall lack of ambition and a decrease in energy and feelings of vitality. Not feeling like yourself is frustrating and can lead to an increase in production of the stress hormone cortisol, in turn impacting your mood, libido and much more. If even one hormone in this intricately connected system falls out of balance, it can set off a cascading range of health issues.
