Active Sportsmen & Performance Panel
Recovery, hormones and the markers that heavy volumes move
Designed for men who train regularly or lead a highly active lifestyle, this panel looks at markers relevant to physical performance, recovery, muscle health and hormonal balance, alongside cardiovascular and metabolic markers.
Particular attention is given to markers commonly affected by high training loads: testosterone and broader hormonal balance, iron status, key vitamins such as D and B12, and markers of muscle recovery and inflammation, recognising the impact these have on energy availability, recovery and long-term performance.
It is intended to identify deficiencies or imbalances affecting performance, recovery or long-term physical health, and to support training and recovery decisions with objective, evidence-based data.
What this panel assesses

Muscle recovery and inflammation - Creatine kinase · hsCRP
Iron status - Full blood count · Ferritin · Serum iron · Transferrin saturation · TIBC
Cardiovascular - Full lipid profile · Apolipoprotein B · Omega 3/6 index
Metabolic -HbA1c · Liver function · Kidney function · Uric acid
Vitamins and minerals - Vitamin D · Vitamin B12 · Folate · Magnesium · Zinc
The Practicalities
🏷️ Price: £XXX
🍴 Fasting: Recommended: 8-12 hr, water allowed
🕑 Timing: Morning, before 11am. avoid testing within [48] hours of heavy training - creatine kinase rises sharply after hard sessions and is easily misread.
