- Basophils: Support early infection detection and wound healing.
- MCH: Average hemoglobin amount per red blood cell.
- MCHC: Average hemoglobin concentration percentage per red blood cell.
- MCV: Average red blood cell size.
- Platelets: Support blood clot formation.
- RDW: Measures variation in red blood cell size.

- Absolute Lymphocytes: Total lymphocyte count in the blood.
- Absolute Monocytes: Total monocyte count in the blood.
- Absolute Eosinophils: Total eosinophil count in the blood.
- Absolute Basophils: Total basophil count in the blood.
Iron and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC)
- Iron, Serum: Reflects the body's iron status.
- TIBC: Used with iron to calculate transferrin saturation.
- Iron Saturation: Calculated value indicating iron deficiency or overload.
Testosterone
- Testosterone, Total: Measures bound and free testosterone to assess hormone levels.
- Testosterone, Free: Measures unbound, biologically active testosterone.
Lab-specific note (LabCorp only): Any Testosterone Free (Direct) or Total Testosterone result exceeding 1500 will be reported as ">1500."
Urinalysis with Complete Microscopic Examination
- Urinalysis, Complete: Evaluates urinary tract, kidney, and systemic health markers.
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
- PSA: Measures a prostate protein used to help identify elevated levels.
Insulin-Like Growth Factor Test (IGF-1)
- IGF-1: Reflects growth hormone activity in the liver and muscles.
Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy
- Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy: Supports bone health and calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium regulation.

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel brings together metabolic, lipid, thyroid, blood count, iron, hormone, prostate, urinalysis, and vitamin D testing. Together, these categories offer a broad view of how your body's systems are functioning. They work together to highlight patterns across organ function, blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormone levels. This panel is not intended to diagnose any condition on its own, and results are best reviewed alongside guidance from your healthcare provider.
2. Who would benefit from this test?
Men who want a comprehensive baseline of their metabolic, hormonal, and organ health may benefit from this panel. It may also appeal to those interested in anti-aging-focused wellness strategies or who want to monitor markers like testosterone, IGF-1, and vitamin D over time. This panel is intended for general wellness insight rather than diagnosis.
3. When should I order this panel?
You may consider ordering this panel as part of a general wellness check, to establish a health baseline, or to monitor changes in metabolic, hormonal, or organ markers over time. It can also be useful for those following an anti-aging or longevity-focused wellness plan. This panel does not diagnose any condition, and a specific testing schedule should be determined with your healthcare provider.
4. Do I need to fast before this test?
Yes. Fasting for at least 12-14 hours is required before blood collection. Avoid ejaculation, strenuous exercise, and biotin supplements for 72 hours before testing; wait at least six weeks after a prostate biopsy before PSA testing.
5. How quickly will I get results?
Results are typically available within 3-5 days, though this may take longer based on weather, holidays, or lab delays.
6. How do I interpret the results?
Patterns across multiple biomarkers are often more meaningful than any single result on its own. Reviewing your results as a whole, alongside your personal health history, can offer more useful insight than looking at individual values in isolation. Your healthcare provider is best positioned to help you interpret what your results mean for you.
Disclaimer: Reference ranges may vary by laboratory. Listed ranges are general guidelines and may differ from those used by the performing lab. Always consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.
7. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
If any of your results fall outside the expected range, share them with your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether further evaluation, monitoring, or follow-up testing is appropriate based on your overall health.
8. How often should I get tested?
Testing frequency depends on your individual health goals and history. Many people choose to retest periodically as part of ongoing wellness monitoring, but the right frequency for you should be determined as directed by your healthcare provider.
9. Why early detection matters
Regular monitoring of metabolic, hormonal, and organ health markers may help support earlier awareness of changes in your body over time. This can allow you and your healthcare provider to have more informed conversations about your wellness plan. This panel does not guarantee detection of any disease or condition.
Pre-test preparation
