Evexia Complete Wellness Panel

Overview:

The Evexia Diagnostics Complete Wellness Panel continues to expand from the Standard Wellness option.  It can be considered an essential wellness panel for those over 30-years of age and, in particular, for those with significant stress or concomitant health conditions/concerns.

The Evexia Diagnostics Complete Wellness Panel includes a collection of screenings commonly ordered during a yearly health check-up. This panel measures the basics and also incorporates cortisol, lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein B, and fibrinogen activity (Factor I).

Lp(a) is a lipoprotein consisting of an LDL molecule with another protein (Apolipoprotein (a)) attached to it. Lp(a) is similar to LDL-C but does not respond to typical strategies to lower LDL-C such as diet, exercise, or most lipid-lowering drugs. Since the level of Lp(a) appears to be genetically determined and not easily altered, the presence of a high level of Lp(a) may help to identify individuals who might benefit from more aggressive treatment of other risk factors. Elevated levels of apo B correspond to high levels of LDL-C and non-HDL-C, which are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Fibrinogen is an acute-phase reactant, meaning that fibrinogen levels may rise sharply in any condition that causes inflammation or tissue damage. Increased fibrinogen levels may be present with infections, cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory conditions, trauma, and heavy smoking.

This panel comes with a free* Functional Health Report when Evexia Nutraceuticals are recommended.  *A $5 fee is applied when recommendations other than Evexia Nutraceuticals are selected.
