FDX Man Ultra
The best Male MOT sort of test available IMHO. You can see details of the test here: Man Ultra with a list of add-ons if you require them - ask me to confirm the price. Personally, I think you could benefit from adding the CEA Cancer marker, Lp-PLA2 cardio inflammation marker and the 6:3 fatty acids to make it really comprehensive as an MOT, especially if over 50, so I've added that as an option in case (it's what I did for P recently when he hit 60). You can add on other tests for 30 days after having had the test done using the same sample, as they save it.
FDX, Functional Diagnostics Lab, offers some really brilliant detailed panels with fantastic reports. The tests give optimal ranges of nutrients but also a shed-load more interpretation using the lab results as indicators and predictors of problems instead of just giving you a baffling set of numbers. Samples returned to the lab by courier, which is included. Blood needs to be centrifuged so please check you have a local phlebotomist who can do that before ordering. Test instructions are here. And here's a leaflet about the report you get. Blood draw locations can be found here and I have put loads more on the FAQ here. Note: ALL tube labels must be labelled with the client's full details. Minimum requirements are full name and DOB. Results are usually back to me within 3 weeks and I will email them to you with some thoughts if appropriate.
I truly wish more men would have this test done! Just make sure you do FDX tests within 90 days or they can charge an admin fee and they charge cancellation fees after 45 days of up to the full price, so only order if you are going to do it within the timeframe and not change your mind!
I've also listed the FDX Man Essential + as a cut down version of the main profile - still great as a good look at male health, and it doesn't need centrifuging.
Any questions, please don't contact FDX direct; they will only deal with practitioners. You can see their FAQ here.
Don't forget: you will need to budget for phlebotomy services.

These are great all-round blood panels if you need something simpler than the FDX test or can't stretch to it. These are the best I have found for value and the markers included. Remember you will need to have blood taken - check the FAQ for how.
