Advanced blood tests in Cape Town

Q: Are advanced tests part of Baseline 360?

No. Advanced tests are priced separately from Baseline 360 and from our other consults. They can be added to any consult when your doctor agrees that the extra data would help answer your question.

Q: How do I choose the right test?

Start with the question you want answered: nutrition and metabolism, ageing, training and recovery, or stress. A panel covers one area with several measures; an individual analysis answers one focused question. Message us on WhatsApp and your doctor will help you choose only what is useful.

Q: How is the sample collected?

Each test uses a small finger-prick blood sample, dried onto a collection card. It goes to the laboratory with a short questionnaire on your diet and lifestyle, which the report uses for its diet and lifestyle scores. We will give you the current instructions when your test is arranged.

Q: Do these tests diagnose a condition?

No. These tests are not diagnostic. They add context that your doctor reads alongside your history, examination and other results, such as your blood work.

Q: How do I arrange a test?

Message us on WhatsApp with the test you are interested in. We will answer your questions, share the price and arrange the next step with your doctor.

A layer deeper than routine bloods. Six tests read your genes, epigenetics, microRNAs and telomeres from a few drops of blood, and your doctor adds the right one to any consult and reviews the report with you.

Routine blood test

Levels in your blood, today.

A tube drawn from your arm shows what is high or low in your blood right now, so your doctor can treat what is found.
