Intermediate Female Panel
The Intermediate Female Panel builds on the foundation of the Basic, offering deeper insight into inflammation, nutrient status, and advanced hormone profiling. With expanded markers like apoB, lipoprotein (a), vitamin D, ferritin, hsCRP, GGT, pregnenolone, and testosterone by LC/MS, it’s designed for women who want a more precise look at hormonal balance, metabolic resilience, and long-term performance. Ideal for those navigating cycle changes, training stress, fatigue, or optimizing wellness with data-driven decisions.
Why It's Important
Surface-level labs don’t explain fatigue, mood shifts, recovery issues, or hormone fluctuations. The Intermediate Female Panel goes deeper—spotting inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and endocrine imbalances that can silently affect energy, mental clarity, skin, strength, and hormonal health. With markers like LC/MS testosterone, vitamin D, ferritin, and pregnenolone, this panel gives you a sharper, more complete view of your biology—so you can act early and optimize with confidence.
