Our Blood Test Panels

Each panel is built around a clear question — *what's going on with my hormones, thyroid, iron, heart, metabolism, vitamins, or fertility?* — and includes only the biomarkers that meaningfully answer it.

• Men's Hormone Check — A complete picture of male hormonal health — testosterone, the stress and recovery markers, and the brain signals that drive them. $169
• Women's Hormone Check — Female hormonal health, top to bottom — the cycle hormones, fertility signals, and the markers behind energy and mood. $169
• Thyroid + Antibodies Panel — The full thyroid picture — both how your thyroid is working and whether your immune system is involved. $169
• Iron & Energy Panel — The deepest look at iron status, blood health, and the markers behind energy and recovery. $109
• Metabolic Health Panel — How your body handles sugar, fat and energy — the markers that matter for diabetes risk, weight, and long-term metabolic health. $149
• Cardiovascular Risk Panel — Beyond standard cholesterol — the advanced cardiovascular markers most GPs don't routinely check. $269
• Women's Fertility Panel — The fertility markers — ovarian reserve, hormone signals, and cycle hormones. $229
• Vitamin & Mineral Panel — The essential nutrients behind energy, immunity and bone health — checked in one test. $249
• Growth Hormone & Vitality Panel — Three markers behind energy, recovery and ageing — IGF-1, the adrenal androgen, and testosterone. $189
• Core Health Panel — The full check — 42 biomarkers across 8 health areas, in one blood test. Our most comprehensive panel. $249
• Testosterone Test — Total testosterone, free testosterone, and the binding protein — three markers, the number that actually matters. $59
• AMH Test (Ovarian Reserve) — The single blood test fertility specialists rely on to estimate ovarian reserve. Any day of your cycle. No referral needed. $149
• Cholesterol Panel — Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and Triglycerides — the standard lipid panel for cardiovascular risk and metabolic health. $75
• Iron Studies — Ferritin, Iron, Transferrin and TIBC — the full pathology iron panel. The standard workup for fatigue, heavy periods and unexplained low energy. $75
• Ferritin Test — Ferritin is the gold-standard marker for iron stores — and the marker that catches iron deficiency earliest. Includes the full Iron Studies panel for context. $75
• Vitamin B12 Test — Vitamin B12 and Folate — the two markers behind energy, brain function and red blood cell production. Tested together because they're metabolically linked. $99
• HbA1c Test (Diabetes Check) — HbA1c — your 3-month average blood sugar — plus fasting glucose. The standard pathology screen for diabetes risk and metabolic health. $49
• Vitamin D Test — The 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) blood test — the standard pathology marker for vitamin D status. Most-tested nutrient in Australia, and one of the most commonly low. $55
• IGF-1 Test — The most reliable single marker of growth hormone (GH) status — IGF-1 is stable across the day, unlike GH itself which is released in pulses. $59

What blood biomarker testing tells you

A blood test measures specific proteins, hormones, vitamins and other markers circulating in your blood. Used together, these biomarkers give a real-time picture of how your body is functioning — your iron stores, thyroid activity, cardiovascular risk, hormonal balance, vitamin status, and metabolic health.

Most Australians only get blood tests when something is already wrong. Vital Trend Health makes it easy to test proactively — to establish a baseline, track changes over time, or check on a specific concern without waiting for a GP appointment.
