Our Anti-Ageing Health Package Explained
What are the tests in the Anti-Ageing Health Package?
Feel like your body isn’t keeping up with your lifestyle? This comprehensive panel gives you a deeper look into how your body is ageing — from hormones and essential nutrients to inflammation and organ function. It includes checks for oestrogen/testosterone, thyroid health, adrenal stress (cortisol), blood sugar control, vitamin and mineral levels, and liver and kidney performance. Designed to help you optimise energy, mood, skin, metabolism, and overall vitality as you age.
Full package: R4797
Hormonal Balance
Estrogen/Testosterone
Why it matters: These sex hormones impact skin elasticity, mood, libido, muscle tone, bone health, and fat distribution. Imbalances can speed up visible ageing and cause fatigue or low libido.
DHEA-S – Linked to mood, libido, and energy
Why it matters: A precursor hormone for estrogen/testosterone. Declines with age and linked to low energy, poor immunity, and premature ageing.
FSH & LH – For women approaching menopause or experiencing symptoms
Why it matters: Help detect menopause, fertility changes, and hormonal imbalances that affect ageing skin, metabolism, and mood.
Thyroid Function Panel
TSH, T3, T4 – Thyroid health affects weight, energy, and hair/skin
Why it matters: Your thyroid controls metabolism, energy, hair growth, skin moisture, and weight balance. An underactive thyroid accelerates visible signs of ageing (dry skin, fatigue, weight gain).
Vitamin & Mineral Profile
Vitamin D – Vital for immunity and bones
Why it matters: Supports bone health, mood regulation, immunity & skin regeneration. Low levels are common with age.
Vitamin B12 – Supports energy & brain health
Why it matters: Vital for energy, red blood cell formation, cognitive clarity, and neurological function. Deficiency can cause brain fog and fatigue.
Iron & Ferritin – Prevents fatigue and hair loss
Why it matters: Ferritin stores iron. Low levels can cause hair loss, brittle nails, tiredness, and reduced oxygen transport to tissues.
Magnesium & Zinc – Cellular repair & skin renewal
Why it matters: Supports muscle function, sleep, mood, and cellular regeneration. Deficiency is linked to insomnia and accelerated ageing.
Why it matters: Helps with wound healing, immune function, and skin renewal. Declines in zinc are tied to weakened collagen production and immune defence.
Inflammation & Stress Markers
CRP (C-reactive protein) – Checks low-grade inflammation
Why it matters: A marker of low-grade chronic inflammation — a silent driver of ageing and disease. Helps detect “inflammageing”.
Cortisol – Measures stress levels
Why it matters: Known as the “stress hormone.” Chronic high levels damage collagen, increase belly fat, disturb sleep, and accelerate cellular ageing.
Metabolic Health
HbA1c / Glucose – Blood sugar control
Why it matters: Measures average blood sugar levels over 3 months. Poor glucose control leads to oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and faster skin ageing.
Cholesterol Panel (Lipid Profile) – Heart & vascular health
Why it matters: Assesses cardiovascular health. High LDL or low HDL can lead to atherosclerosis, increasing heart age and risk of stroke.
Liver & Kidney Function Tests
Why it matters: Your liver detoxifies hormones and toxins. Poor liver function can cause dull skin, hormonal imbalances, and low energy.
Kidney Function Tests (Urea, Creatinine, eGFR)
Why it matters: Aging kidneys impact hydration, blood pressure regulation, and toxin clearance. Essential for overall vitality.
