Results within 6–8 working days after your blood draw (estimate)

InsideTracker is a comprehensive blood test for athletes and active people who want a broad view of their body. The panel brings thirty-six blood values together in one measurement, from your hormones and metabolism to your iron status, liver, minerals and vitamins.

Your training data shows your effort and recovery, but a blood test looks inside your body. With this data, you work with objective numbers instead of guesswork.

Why this test?

Your blood says something about many systems in your body at once. This extensive blood test brings values from your hormones, your metabolism, your iron status and your recovery markers together in one overview.

For athletes, this can be interesting, because your training, your nutrition and your sleep can all play a part in these values. By measuring a broad set of markers, you can build a picture of where you stand and where you may want to look closer.

This way you work with data instead of assumptions, which fits an approach where you want to understand and optimise your body.

Who is this test for?

This blood test may suit athletes and active people who want a broad baseline. It can be relevant for:

  • Athletes who want to combine their training data with objective blood values
  • People who want insight into their iron status and recovery markers
  • People who want to look at several systems at once, from hormones to metabolism
  • People who want to follow their values periodically
  • People who prefer one extensive blood test over several separate panels

What is tested?

This panel measures thirty-six blood values, grouped by area:

  • Hormones: Testosterone, Free Testosterone, SHBG, Estradiol, Progesterone, DHEA-S and Cortisol.
  • Metabolism: Fasting Glucose, Fasting Insulin and HbA1c.
  • Heart and vessels: Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides and ApoB.
  • Iron and minerals: Ferritin, Iron, Transferrin, Transferrin Saturation, Magnesium, Intracellular Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium and Potassium.
  • Liver: ALT, AST, GGT and Albumin.
  • Recovery and inflammation: CRP and Creatine Kinase (CK).
  • Thyroid, vitamins and blood count: TSH, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folate and a complete blood count with differential.

What can this test tell you?

The results can show you how your values across these areas compare to the reference ranges. Because the panel covers many systems, you can see how your hormones, your iron status and your recovery markers relate to each other.

For athletes, markers such as your ferritin, your creatine kinase and your CRP can be interesting to follow around heavy training. Keep in mind that a single value is not a diagnosis: your results only gain meaning in combination with your situation and your history.

How is the sample collected?

For this blood test, a staff member draws a small tube of blood at a certified location. You can choose from more than 750 collection sites in the Netherlands, so there is almost always a location near you.

You need little for this, apart from your appointment confirmation and a valid ID. The draw itself usually takes only a few minutes.

When is this test useful?

A comprehensive blood test can be useful at different moments. Some athletes choose to test:

  • When they want a broad baseline before a new training block
  • When they want to follow their iron status and recovery markers
  • When they feel tired or flat and want to look at several systems at once
  • When they want to follow the effect of a change in training or nutrition
  • When they prefer one extensive panel over several separate tests

What do the results mean?

What the results mean depends on your personal situation. Each value is compared to a reference range, but a value outside that range does not automatically mean something is wrong.

With a broad panel, a doctor often looks at how the values relate to each other, rather than at one value on its own. Always discuss any deviating values with your GP, so you know what the results may mean for you personally.

Preparation

For some values in this panel, such as your glucose, insulin and lipids, fasting before the draw is advisable. For your hormone values, having your blood drawn in the morning is often helpful.

Drink enough water on the day of the draw. If you trained intensively shortly before, keep that in mind, as heavy exertion can temporarily affect markers such as your creatine kinase. If in doubt, you can discuss your situation with your GP.

What happens after the results?

You receive your results digitally in your account, usually within a few working days. For each value, you can see whether it falls within the reference range. You can then share your results with your own GP.

Every blood test result includes a professional assessment from a BIG-registered doctor. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.

What's Included

This panel covers 36 biomarkers related to your training, recovery, and overall health.

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. It helps regulate the amount of free, active hormones available in the body.

Learn more

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and serves as the master regulator of thyroid function. TSH levels may help indicate whether the thyroid is producing appropriate amounts of hormones. Your healthcare provider can interpret your TSH results.

Learn more

ALT (alanine aminotransferase) is a liver enzyme that serves as a key indicator of liver health. Elevated levels may suggest liver cell damage and can be associated with various liver conditions.

Learn more

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol because elevated levels can lead to plaque build-up in artery walls, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Learn more

GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase) is a liver and bile duct enzyme that serves as one of the most sensitive markers for hepatobiliary disorders. It is particularly responsive to alcohol consumption and may be elevated in bile duct obstruction, liver disease, and with certain medications.

Learn more

Cortisol is the body's primary stress hormone, produced by the adrenal glands. It regulates metabolism, immune responses, and the sleep-wake cycle. Levels follow a natural daily rhythm, peaking in the morning and declining throughout the day.

Learn more

DHEA-S (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is the most abundant adrenal hormone and serves as a precursor to both oestrogen and testosterone. It declines naturally with age and reflects overall adrenal reserve.

Learn more

Estradiol (E2) is the most potent form of estrogen, playing a key role in reproductive health, bone density, and cardiovascular function. Abnormal levels may indicate hormonal imbalances that your healthcare provider can help evaluate.

Learn more

Free testosterone is the unbound, bioavailable form of testosterone that can directly enter cells and activate receptors. It may indicate your body's functional androgen activity. Your healthcare provider can help interpret what your levels mean.

Learn more

Total testosterone measures the combined amount of bound and free testosterone in the blood. As the primary androgen, testosterone may influence muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, and energy levels in both men and women.

Learn more

Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is a water-soluble vitamin involved in cell division and DNA synthesis. Adequate folate levels are considered important for overall health and may be particularly relevant during periods of rapid growth.

Learn more

Vitamin B12 is considered essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency may develop gradually and is sometimes associated with dietary patterns. Healthcare providers can help interpret your results.

Learn more

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, essential for strong bones and teeth, muscle contraction, nerve signalling, and blood clotting. Most calcium is stored in bones and teeth, with a small amount circulating in the blood.

Learn more

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your cells and releases it when your body needs it. Blood ferritin levels reflect your body's total iron stores and are the most sensitive indicator for iron deficiency.

Learn more

Serum iron measures the amount of circulating iron in your blood. Iron is essential for haemoglobin production, oxygen transport, and energy metabolism throughout the body.

Learn more

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production, muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, and bone development.

Learn more

Intracellular magnesium measures the magnesium stored within your cells, providing a more accurate picture of your true magnesium status than standard serum tests. Most of the body's magnesium resides inside cells.

Learn more

Potassium is an essential electrolyte and mineral that helps regulate heartbeat, muscle contractions, nerve signals, and fluid balance. It is one of the most important minerals for cardiovascular health.

Learn more

A progesterone blood test measures the level of progesterone, a hormone essential for the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progesterone is primarily produced by the ovaries after ovulation and plays a key role in preparing the uterus for implantation.

Learn more

Sodium is a vital electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve and muscle function. It is the primary cation in extracellular fluid and is closely regulated by the kidneys.

Learn more

Transferrin is the main protein responsible for transporting iron in the blood. It carries iron from the gut and storage sites to cells that need it, including bone marrow for red blood cell production.

Learn more

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. It is a general marker of inflammation and can rise rapidly during infections, injuries, or chronic inflammatory conditions.

Learn more

Fasting glucose measures the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood after an overnight fast. It is one of the primary tests used to screen for and monitor diabetes and pre-diabetes.

Learn more

HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is the gold standard for long-term blood sugar monitoring and diabetes management.

Learn more

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the main protein on LDL and other atherogenic lipoproteins. Each atherogenic particle carries exactly one ApoB molecule, making it a precise measure of the total number of particles that can contribute to plaque formation.

Learn more

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "good" cholesterol because it helps transport excess cholesterol from the arteries back to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with lower cardiovascular risk.

Learn more

Total cholesterol measures the combined amount of HDL, LDL, and VLDL cholesterol in your blood. It provides an overview of your lipid status but should be interpreted alongside individual components for a complete cardiovascular risk picture.

Learn more

Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood, produced by the liver. It maintains fluid balance, transports hormones and nutrients, and serves as an indicator of liver and kidney function.

Learn more

AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is an enzyme found in the liver, heart, and muscle cells. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage, but because AST is present in multiple tissues, results are best interpreted alongside other liver markers such as ALT.

Learn more

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function. It is primarily produced in the skin through sunlight exposure and can also be obtained from certain foods and supplements.

Learn more

Fasting insulin measures the amount of insulin in your blood after an overnight fast. It helps assess how efficiently your body manages blood sugar and can reveal insulin resistance before glucose levels become abnormal.

Learn more

A leukocyte differential test measures the relative proportions of different types of white blood cells in your blood. It provides a detailed breakdown of your immune cell populations, offering valuable insight into your immune system's function.

Learn more

Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme found primarily in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscles. When muscles are damaged or stressed, CK is released into the bloodstream, making it a useful marker of muscle health.

Learn more

Transferrin saturation measures the percentage of the iron-transport protein transferrin that is occupied by iron. It is a key indicator of your body's iron status and helps distinguish between different causes of iron-related disorders.

Learn more

Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in the body, used for energy storage. Elevated levels may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially when combined with other lipid abnormalities.

Learn more

A complete blood count (CBC) is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates the major components of your blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests and provides a broad overview of your overall health.

Learn more
