Biomarkers

What is a biomarker?

A biomarker is a biological characteristic that can be measured and evaluated in blood, urine or tissue samples. Biomarkers help us understand the links between the environment and human diseases in order to improve our ability to diagnose, monitor or predict disease risks.

Which biomarkers are important at forMed Meggen?

Blood and urine tests offer unique insights into the state of our bodies and enable individual risk profiles to be created for various diseases. They can provide indications of inflammation, hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies and many other conditions which, if left untreated, can lead to chronic diseases and a shortened lifespan. By regularly monitoring these markers, lifestyle and dietary adjustments can be made at an early stage to optimise health and longevity.

Our biomarker analysis is a comprehensive examination of your blood and urine. We differentiate between genders in order to take hormonal factors into account. We also consider the age of the patient, as this can also affect the interpretation of the analysis. We also test for relevant values in the areas of heart health, inflammation/immune system, metabolism, bone health, hormones, nutrients, anti-aging and stress.

How does a biomarker test work at forMed Meggen?

After receiving detailed advice and deciding on a biomarker analysis, you will receive a medical history questionnaire based on an interview/medical history. Once your data has been recorded, you will be given an appointment for blood and urine sampling. The results of the respective analysis take up to 4 weeks. You will then be given an appointment to discuss the results and receive recommendations for further action.

We recommend biomarker analysis in combination with genetic analysis in order to provide you with the best possible recommendations for prevention.
