SiPhox At-Home Blood Test Kit – Hormone, Cholesterol & Wellness Panel

Often called “good” cholesterol, HDL-C helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream and carry it to the liver for clearance. It helps protect your arteries from plaque buildup linked to heart attack and stroke, and influences insulin sensitivity and inflammation.

The “bad” cholesterol that can build up in artery walls and form plaques. Over time this narrows and hardens arteries (atherosclerosis), raising the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular disease.

The overall amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both LDL-C (bad) and HDL-C (good). High total cholesterol can drive plaque buildup in your arteries and raise your risk of heart disease and stroke.

VLDL carries triglycerides through the bloodstream and is considered a cardiovascular risk marker. Elevated VLDL can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries and raise heart disease risk.

A type of fat in your blood and an important signal of heart and metabolic health. High levels raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, and pancreatitis, and are often tied to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance.

The main protein in HDL-C particles, central to transporting and clearing cholesterol. It’s considered the most informative marker for “good” cholesterol and is used to assess cardiovascular disease risk.

The atherogenic particle that transports “bad” cholesterol and contributes to arterial plaque. Research shows ApoB is a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular events like heart attack than LDL-C alone, making it a valuable risk marker.

A highly valuable ratio for detecting atherogenic (plaque-forming) risk. The lower the ApoB:ApoA1 ratio, the lower the risk.

Compares your total cholesterol to your “good” HDL-C. A lower ratio is better — it means more HDL-C relative to total cholesterol, so your body clears excess cholesterol more effectively and builds less arterial plaque.

A strong indicator of both heart disease risk and insulin resistance. A higher ratio means more blood fats relative to protective HDL-C — linked to arterial plaque and to the metabolic dysfunction behind type 2 diabetes.

Comparing “bad” LDL-C against “good” HDL-C gives a sharper read on heart risk than total cholesterol alone. A lower LDL-C:HDL-C ratio generally signals better heart health and lower risk.

Because every atherogenic particle carries one ApoB molecule, this ratio hints at LDL particle size and density. A lower ratio can signal more small, dense LDL particles — more strongly tied to cardiovascular risk than larger particles, even at the same LDL-C level.

Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months and is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. Levels consistently above 5.6% may warrant a conversation with your physician.

Translates your HbA1c into an estimate of your average blood glucose over time, giving an easy-to-read picture of glycemic control and metabolic health — especially useful for monitoring diabetes management.

Measures low-grade inflammation in the body. Chronic low-level inflammation is linked to cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders — elevated hs-CRP is associated with higher risk of heart attack, stroke, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.

An amino acid normally broken down by vitamins B6, B12, and folate. High levels can signal greater cardiovascular risk (heart attack and stroke) and may point to deficiencies in those essential vitamins.

Your primary stress hormone, made by the adrenal glands. It helps regulate metabolism, inflammation, and blood sugar. Abnormally high cortisol can signal chronic stress or Cushing’s syndrome; abnormally low levels can point to adrenal insufficiency.

Produced by the pituitary gland to regulate your thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), which govern metabolism and energy. High TSH can indicate an underactive thyroid (fatigue, weight gain, low mood); low TSH can indicate an overactive thyroid (weight loss, anxiety, rapid heartbeat).

The key male hormone behind muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, mood, libido, and sperm production. Low testosterone can cause fatigue, reduced muscle, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and mood changes; very high levels can also need medical attention.

An adrenal hormone that acts as a precursor to estrogen and testosterone, and helps regulate metabolism, immune function, and the stress response. Abnormal DHEA-S can point to adrenal disorders or chronic stress.

Balances testosterone (muscle growth and energy) against cortisol (stress and tissue breakdown). A high ratio favors an anabolic, recovery-ready state; a low ratio can signal overtraining, stress, or insufficient recovery — leading to fatigue and reduced performance.

A key reproductive hormone. In women, FSH regulates the menstrual cycle and egg development, offering insight into fertility, conditions like PCOS, and menopausal status.

A key hormone for both women and men. In women it regulates the menstrual cycle, reproductive system, and overall hormonal balance; in men it supports bone density, libido, and sperm production. Measuring estradiol helps assess reproductive health, diagnose conditions like PCOS or menopause, and evaluate bone health and hormone balance — and abnormal levels can also affect cardiovascular health and mood.

The best marker of your vitamin D status — essential for bone strength, immune function, and overall well-being. Low levels can mean bone problems, weakened immunity, and higher chronic-disease risk; very high levels can cause toxicity.

The protein that stores iron, making it a key marker of your iron levels (it also rises with inflammation). Low ferritin can mean iron deficiency — anemia, fatigue, weakened immunity; high ferritin can suggest iron overload or chronic inflammation.

A protein filtered out of the blood by your kidneys, and a reliable indicator of kidney function. High levels can flag reduced function or early-stage kidney disease — catching it early helps prevent further damage.
