The STTM Vitamin Deficiency Panel was developed through a partnership with Janie Bowthorpe, leading Thyroid activist, best selling author and media personality and founder of StoptheThyroidMadness.com.

HealthCheckUSA has partnered directly with Janie Bowthorpe and others at Stop the Thyroid Madness to develop specific packages and test options that will assist Stop the Thyroid Madness members in managing their condition and taking control of their health.

HealthCheckUSA has packages that make it simple for consumers to measure, monitor, and improve their health by being able to order their own lab tests without their doctor.

STTM Vitamin Deficiency Panel

This group of tests would typically cost $350 from your local doctor or hospital lab. At $164.00, that’s a savings of $186!

The HealthCheckUSA master chemistry test is a lab testing panel that combines many popular chemistry levels.

Lipid Blood Testing Panel
A full lipid panel measures the fatty substances in your bloodstream. These substances can lead to heart disease, heart attacks and stroke. HealthCheckUSA is proud to include a cholesterol test as part of the Chem-26 (Master Chemistry), because its results can prevent heart disease. A lipid profile includes several tests, including cholesterol (HDL and LDL) and triglycerides.

All the cholesterol you need is already manufactured in the body, but food also contributes. Heredity, weight, age, sex, exercise and stress can affect your levels. A lipid profile and Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) test can help gage one’s risk of heart disease.

A lipid profile also measures the “good” cholesterol, which is known as HDL. This cholesterol is carried from your heart to your liver, and it removes the “bad” cholesterol, or LDL, from your bloodstream. A lipid profile that shows HDL levels less than 35 mg/dl increases the risk of heart disease. Higher HDL levels are found in the profiles of individuals who exercise, eat healthy and don’t smoke. With HDL cholesterol, higher levels are better.

A healthy Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) lipid profile will show LDL cholesterol at 100 mg/DL or less. Anything over 130 mg/DL is considered high. Check your Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) lipid profile carefully to monitor your HDL and LDL levels.

Measuring triglycerides
A HealthCheckUSA Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) test also measures triglycerides. These are another form of fat. Triglycerides come from foods like vegetable oils and animal fats. A Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) panel that has high triglyceride levels should cause concern. A normal triglyceride level is less than 150 mg/DL. Levels 150 mg/DL or higher are considered high, and an immediate change in diet, along with cardiovascular exercise, should be considered. Consult your doctor for a treatment specific to your needs.

Study your Chem-26 lipid profile carefully
As with all of our tests, study your Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) lipid profile carefully. If any Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) levels are elevated, take your results to your doctor. They should develop a plan that includes diet, exercise and possible medication. A lipid profile changes slowly, so if you have elevated levels, you should get a Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) test once a year. If your lipid profile levels are normal, consider getting a Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) test every 2-3 years.

Glucose Blood Test for Diabetes
The blood glucose component of the Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) panel measures the amount of glucose in the blood. Glucose, which comes from carbohydrates, is the main source of the body’s energy. Blood glucose levels typically increase slightly after eating. This causes your pancreas to release insulin, which prevents glucose levels from getting too high. The results of a Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) blood glucose test will help you modify your diabetes management program. Getting a regular Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) can reduce the chances for long-term diabetes complications.

The Chem-26 (Master Chemistry) blood test also measures kidney, liver and heart functions, potassium, calcium, uric acid, electrolytes, and iron.

Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy Lab Test

Sunlight doesn’t just help set your internal clock; it actually nourishes your body by helping it create vitamin D. Classified as a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin D acts more like a hormone, working with the parathyroid hormone to balance calcium in the blood and build strong bones. It also maintains healthy cellular growth and regulates the immune system, which prevents excessive inflammation that can lead to autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, periodontal disease, multiple sclerosis and irritable-bowel diseases.

Vitamin B-12 with Folate Lab Test

The B family of vitamins are used by the body to release energy stored in food components like carbohydrates, fat and protein. Consider getting a Vitamin Deficiency Panel to make sure that your body is generating enough energy to power all the organs. If your Vitamin Deficiency panel shows low amount of B-12, you’re at high risk for organ damage.

Folic acid is part of the B vitamin family. It helps synthesize DNA that used in new cell formation and helps convert B-12 into a functioning element within the body. Most Americans don’t get enough folic acid, so consider getting a nutrition panel to make sure you’re getting enough. Folic acid also helps lower homocysteine levels, which can cause damage to the heart. Lack of folic acid can impair protein synthesis and cell division. Long term use of aspirins and antacids can cause low folic acid levels. The HealthCheckUSA Vitamin Deficiency Panel will give a thorough analysis of your body’s metabolic functions.
