The Basic Health and Wellness Blood Testing Panel from HealthCheckUSA is a baseline health assessment that focuses on prevention and identifying any health risk factors related to Heart Disease, risk of heart attack, risk of stroke, Indicator for strong bones and steady heart rhythm. Due to the popularity of the Basic Health and Wellness Blood Testing Panel, HealthCheckUSA is able to provide it at a significant discount versus purchasing these lab tests from your doctor.

Blood Tests Included:

Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that is found in every cell of your body. It is vital to energy production, muscle contraction, nerve function, maintenance of strong bones, maintenance of steady heart rhythm and keeping blood pressure low. About half of the body’s magnesium is combined with calcium and phosphorus to form bone.

A wide variety of foods contain small amounts of magnesium, especially green vegetables such as spinach, and most magnesium in the body comes from dietary sources. The body maintains magnesium levels in its blood, cells, and bone by regulating how much it absorbs from the intestines and by how much it excretes or conserves in the kidneys.

Super Chemistry Complete Metabolic Profile
The HealthCheckUSA Super Chemistry Lab Test is a blood testing panel that combines our popular Chem-26 blood test with a complete blood count and is very important to all people that are concerned about Heart Disease, Risk of Heart Attack, and Risk of Stroke. A full lipid panel measures the fatty substances in your bloodstream. These substances can lead to heart disease, heart attack and stroke. HealthCheckUSA includes a cholesterol blood test as part of the super chemistry, because its results can aid in the prevention of heart disease, heart attacks and stroke. A lipid profile includes several blood tests, including cholesterol (HDL and LDL) and triglycerides.

Cholesterol
All the cholesterol you need is already manufactured in the body, but food also contributes. Heredity, weight, age, sex, exercise and stress can affect your levels. A lipid profile and super chemistry test can help measure one's risk of heart disease.

Measuring cholesterol with a lipid profile blood test
A lipid profile blood test also measures the "good" cholesterol, which is known as HDL. This cholesterol is carried from your heart to your liver, which removes the "bad" cholesterol or LDL from your bloodstream. A lipid profile that shows HDL less than 35 mg/dl increases the risk of heart disease. Higher HDL levels are found in the profiles of individuals who exercise, eat healthy and don't smoke. With HDL cholesterol, higher is better.

A healthy super chemistry lipid profile blood test will show LDL cholesterol at 100 mg/DL or less. Anything over 130 mg/DL is considered high. Monitor your super chemistry lipid profile carefully to check your HDL and LDL levels.

Measuring Triglycerides with the Super Chemistry Blood Testing Panel
A HealthCheckUSA Super Chemistry lab test also measures triglycerides, which are another form of fat. Triglycerides come from foods like vegetable oils and animal fats. A super chemistry Blood Testing panel that has high triglyceride levels should be cause for concern. A normal triglyceride level is less than 150 mg/DL. Levels 150 mg/DL or higher are considered high, and an immediate change in diet, along with cardiovascular exercise, should be considered.

Measuring Glucose with a Super Chemistry Blood Testing Panel
The blood glucose test in the Super Chemistry lab testing panel measures the amount of glucose in the blood which is very important in the Prevention of Diabetes. Glucose, which comes from carbohydrates, is main source of the body's energy. Blood glucose levels typically increase slightly after eating. This causes your pancreas to release insulin, which prevents glucose levels from getting too high. The results of a Super Chemistry Blood Glucose test will help you modify how you manage your diabetes. Getting a regular blood glucose test can reduce the chances for long-term diabetes complications.

The Chem-26 also measures kidney, liver and heart functions, potassium, calcium, uric acid, electrolytes and iron.

CBC: Complete blood count
Additionally, the super chemistry lab test also includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC). A Super Chemistry CBC blood test can give you information about anemia (a decrease in the ability of the red blood cells to transport oxygen to the tissues of the body) and infections, as well as blood disorders such as leukemia.

A Super Chemistry CBC blood test measures the amount of white blood cells. Elevated white blood cells on a Super Chemistry CBC blood test may mean that you currently have an infection. If your Super Chemistry CBC shows low levels, you might have a difficult time fighting off an infection.

Platelets, also made in the bone barrow, are checked on a Super Chemistry CBC blood test. Platelets create clots to help stop bleeding from an injury. If your Super Chemistry CBC blood test reveals low platelet levels, you might be more susceptible to bleeding. High platelet levels could mean that you have an increased risk of internal clots.

Hemoglobin is measured in a Super Chemistry CBC blood test. Red blood cells use hemoglobin to bring oxygen to the rest of the body and to bring carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Low hemoglobin levels shown on a Super Chemistry CBC blood test can also be a sign of anemia.

Hematocrit is measured in a Super Chemistry CBC blood test and measures the proportion of blood that is filled with red blood cells. Low hematocrit can indicate anemia or leukemia. High hematocrit levels on a super chemistry CBC blood test may indicate dehydration or excessive red blood cells.
