Blood values and your metabolism
Your blood values make your metabolism visible. Sugar, fats and thyroid all help decide how easily you lose weight. Look up a value below. Each one gives the normal range and what a deviation means.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is considered especially important for older adults, as it may support immune function, wound healing, and antioxidant protection against age-related oxidative stress.
Vitamin D (25-OH)
Your vitamin D level tells you how much vitamin D your body has in store, and with a higher body fat percentage that number often reads lower than you would expect.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E supports healthy ageing by protecting cells from oxidative damage. Maintaining adequate levels may contribute to cognitive health and cardiovascular well-being as you age.
Vitamin K1
Vitamin K1 becomes especially important for bone health as you age. Adequate levels support blood clotting and may help maintain bone density in later years.
Zinc
Zinc supports immune health, wound healing, and cognitive function — all important for maintaining well-being as you age. Absorption may decrease with age, making monitoring valuable.
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate)
Your eGFR value tells you how many millilitres of blood your kidneys filter per minute, and with excess weight a nice high value can be exactly the number to watch. eGFR stands for estimated glomerular filtration rate: not a measurement, but a calculation from your creatinine, a waste product of your muscles, plus your age and your sex.
hs-CRP (High Sensitivity CRP)
hs-CRP measures the chronic inflammation associated with cardiovascular ageing. Regular monitoring is a cornerstone of heart health management in later years.
