Haemoglobin
The oxygen-carrying part of your red blood cells.
Why it matters
Low levels are linked to feeling tired or short of breath.
The Advanced GP3 represents the pinnacle of diagnostic screening, encompassing 150 distinct biomarkers across multiple physiological systems. This comprehensive panel examines hormonal profiles for both sexes, identifies allergenic sensitivities, and assesses gastrointestinal integrity—including H. pylori pathogen detection. This expansive screening protocol enables early detection of subclinical imbalances and facilitates precision-based therapeutic strategies, positioning it as the gold standard for preventative health optimisation.
