Marker library

What we analyse

Three analyses. Blood markers show your current state, genetics your predisposition, microbiome your inner ecosystem. Here you see exactly what is examined.

Analysis 1 Included in membership

Blood markers

Your blood markers show how your body is functioning today. 27 functional markers in six areas that go well beyond a classic blood panel and can be interpreted in direct relation to genetics and microbiome.

Sampling via finger-prick at home, analysed in a German partner lab.

Cardiovascular & lipids

Your lipid metabolism and cardiovascular profile, well beyond classic cholesterol.

  • Cholesterol

    The baseline of lipid metabolism and the starting point for assessing your cardiovascular profile.

  • HDL

    The protective lipoprotein. Higher levels are associated with a more favourable cardiovascular profile.

  • LDL

    A central lipid value for assessing the cardiovascular profile and an important lever for diet and lifestyle.

  • HDL/LDL ratio

    The ratio of the two values, showing your lipid balance at a glance.

  • Triglycerides

    Blood fats closely linked to diet and to sugar and energy metabolism.

  • ApoB

    Counts the actual number of atherogenic particles and is considered an especially meaningful cardiovascular marker, often more precise than LDL alone.

  • Lp(a)

    A largely genetically determined lipoprotein. A one-time measurement is worthwhile, as it complements the cardiovascular profile independently of LDL.

Liver & detox

How well your central metabolic hub is working.

  • AST

    An enzyme from liver and muscle cells. Together with ALT it gives a picture of liver-cell health and helps place the influence of diet, training and lifestyle.

  • ALT

    A liver-specific enzyme and a sensitive marker of liver strain. Ideal for tracking changes over time.

  • GGT

    Reacts sensitively to strain on the liver and bile ducts, for example from alcohol or metabolism. A good lifestyle marker to follow over time.

  • Alkaline phosphatase

    An enzyme from liver, bile ducts and bone. Complements the picture of liver and bone metabolism.

  • Bilirubin

    A breakdown product of red blood pigment. Indicates liver and bile function as well as natural cell turnover.

  • Albumin

    The most important protein in the blood, produced in the liver. Reflects protein supply, liver synthesis and general nutritional status.

Vitamins & minerals

Key vitamins and minerals that reflect your supply status.

  • Vitamin D (25-OH)

    The storage form of vitamin D, relevant for bones, immune system, muscles and hormone balance. Often suboptimal in our latitudes.

  • Vitamin B12

    A key vitamin for the nervous system, blood formation and energy metabolism. Especially important with a plant-based diet.

  • Ferritin

    The body's iron store. Central to oxygen transport, energy and performance.

  • Magnesium

    Involved in hundreds of metabolic processes, including muscles, nerves, sleep and energy. Directly relevant to your nutrient protocol.

  • Calcium

    A mineral for bones, muscle and nerve function. Considered together with vitamin D and magnesium.

Kidney

Longevity-relevant kidney-function markers, with two filtration estimates.

  • Creatinine

    The standard value for assessing kidney function, from which the estimated filtration rate (eGFR) is calculated.

  • eGFR

    The kidney's filtration rate estimated from creatinine, the central functional value of the kidney.

  • Urea

    Together with creatinine, it rounds out the picture of kidney function and protein metabolism.

  • Cystatin C

    A modern kidney marker for a particularly precise filtration estimate, less dependent on muscle mass than creatinine. Especially meaningful for athletic, muscular people.

  • Cystatin C eGFR

    A second, particularly precise filtration estimate based on cystatin C, independent of muscle mass.

Metabolism & blood sugar

How your body processes sugar, viewed over weeks.

  • HbA1c

    Long-term blood sugar of the last 8 to 12 weeks. A robust marker of metabolic balance, independent of fasting status.

  • Uric acid

    The end product of purine metabolism. Linked to diet and metabolism, it rounds out the metabolic picture.

Inflammation & thyroid

Silent inflammation and thyroid as early indicators.

  • hs-CRP

    A high-sensitivity inflammation marker. Reveals low-grade, silent inflammation relevant to longevity and cardiovascular health.

  • TSH

    The thyroid's control hormone and thus a central marker for energy, metabolism and weight regulation.

Analysis 2 Add-on

Genetics

35 genes and 38 variants across nine metabolic areas. This panel was put together with Prof. Dr. Kriegsmann specifically for EVER, focused on the markers relevant to metabolism and nutrient supply. The analysis is performed by our partner lab Proteopath, Trier.
