At a glance

The Women's Wellness Lab Panel with Lipoprotein Fractionation measures cardiovascular, hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional biomarkers, from lipoprotein particle subclasses, CRP, and fibrinogen activity to estradiol, hemoglobin A1c, ferritin, and vitamin D, in a single ordered panel. It is designed for women who want a more complete picture of their health than a standard lipid panel alone provides. Nine tiers, from a 9-test Select panel (101 biomarkers) to a 44-test Comprehensive panel (159 biomarkers), let you match testing depth to your goals and budget.

Best suited for

  • Women who want a broader view of cardiovascular risk markers than a standard lipid panel provides
  • Women tracking hormone, metabolic, and nutrient markers alongside heart-health markers in one draw
  • Anyone monitoring how diet, exercise, or other lifestyle changes show up in their blood work over time
  • Women with a family history of heart disease who want early risk markers to review with their doctor
  • Health-conscious women establishing a comprehensive baseline for year-over-year comparison

Key biomarker ranges

Commonly used adult reference ranges for markers this panel measures, labs vary, so always interpret results against your lab's stated ranges and with your doctor.

Fasting Glucose (mg/dL)

Commonly used reference ranges place fasting glucose at 70–99 mg/dL; results vary with sleep, stress, and recent illness, and labs differ slightly.

Fasting Glucose reference ranges (mg/dL)
ZoneRange
Low5070 mg/dL
Optimal70100 mg/dL
Prediabetic range100126 mg/dL
Diabetic range126160 mg/dL
Hemoglobin A1c (%)

Commonly used reference ranges place HbA1c below 5.7%; conditions affecting red blood cells can skew results, so labs and clinicians interpret in context.

Hemoglobin A1c reference ranges (%)
ZoneRange
Optimal45.7 %
Prediabetic range5.76.5 %
Diabetic range6.510 %
Fasting Insulin (µIU/mL)

Commonly used reference ranges accept up to ~25 µIU/mL, but many clinicians view single-digit fasting insulin as the more informative target; assays vary by lab.

Fasting Insulin reference ranges (µIU/mL)
ZoneRange
Low02 µIU/mL
Optimal210 µIU/mL
Above optimal1025 µIU/mL
High2530 µIU/mL

The importance of testing

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, and many people who experience a cardiac event had no previously identified risk factors. Because several contributors to cardiovascular risk, nutrition, physical activity, smoking, are modifiable, biomarker testing gives you concrete numbers to work from. Lipoprotein fractionation goes beyond a standard lipid panel by measuring lipoprotein particle subclasses, while markers such as hs-CRP and fibrinogen activity reflect inflammation and clotting factors associated with cardiovascular risk. The ApoE genotype test adds genetic context you can review with your doctor.

The panel is not limited to heart health. Hormone markers such as cortisol AM, estradiol, DHEA, and testosterone relate to stress response, cycle health, bone density, and energy. Metabolic tests, a comprehensive metabolic panel, insulin, hemoglobin A1c, and urinalysis, show how your body is handling blood sugar and energy use, and screen for markers associated with insulin resistance and diabetes. Nutritional tests including ferritin, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and omega-3 flag common deficiencies, and advanced markers like cystatin C and myeloperoxidase add insight into kidney function and inflammatory processes.

The practical value comes from trends. Retesting the same panel over time shows whether changes to diet, exercise, sleep, or supplementation are reflected in your numbers, insulin and A1c drifting down, ferritin recovering, inflammatory markers settling. Bring any out-of-range or borderline results to your doctor, along with your family history, so the two of you can decide what follow-up, if any, makes sense.

Frequently asked questions

What does lipoprotein fractionation measure?

Lipoprotein fractionation measures the subclasses of cholesterol-carrying particles in your blood, going beyond the total LDL, HDL, and triglyceride numbers on a standard lipid panel. Particle-level detail, alongside inflammation markers such as hs-CRP and fibrinogen activity, gives you and your doctor a fuller set of markers associated with cardiovascular risk to review together.

Can I order this panel without a doctor's visit?

Yes, you can order this panel online without visiting a doctor first, and view your results privately from home. The partner handles the lab requisition; you simply choose a tier, check out, and visit a local draw location. Share your results with your own physician for interpretation and any follow-up.

Which panel tier should I choose?

Choose based on how much depth you want: the Select tier (9 tests, 101 biomarkers) covers core wellness and lipoprotein markers, while Essential and Performance tiers add hormone, nutrient, and metabolic tests, and the Comprehensive tier (44 tests, 159 biomarkers) is the most complete. If you are establishing a first baseline, a mid-tier panel is a common starting point; you can always add depth at your next draw.

Do I need to fast before this blood panel?

Fasting is commonly recommended for several tests in these panels, such as glucose, insulin, and lipids, and morning collection matters for cortisol AM. Follow the specific preparation instructions shown for your chosen panel at checkout, and confirm any questions with the lab before your appointment.

Is this testing available in every state?

No, direct-to-consumer lab testing is restricted or prohibited in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, so residents of those states may be blocked at the partner's checkout. If you live elsewhere in the US, you can typically order online and use a nearby draw location.

Will this panel confirm a health condition?

No, this panel measures and tracks biomarkers; it is not intended to confirm any condition. Results flag values that fall outside reference ranges so you can review them with your doctor, who can interpret them in the context of your history, symptoms, and family risk and decide whether follow-up testing is warranted.
