FAQ

What is InsideTracker?

• A personalized series of blood tests to establish a baseline, to compare your results to benchmarks, and to track your progress for up to 20 scientifically proven biomarkers for health, wellness, and performance
• A continuously updated tracking of validated scientific research and integration into the InsideTracker engine
• A web-based subscription service with personalized, actionable recommendations (nutrition, exercise, supplements, lifestyle)
• Personalized dashboards and online tracking tools

How is InsideTracker different from my annual blood test?

• InsideTracker gives you important information you won’t get in an annual blood test, measuring 20 blood biomarkers key to overall well-being and athletic performance. Your physician will mainly test biomarkers related to diseases, InsideTracker tests markers related to health and performance.
• Optimal, not just normal. The InsideTracker algorithm integrates into your blood analysis an “optimal zone,” a range specific to each person that takes into account unique demographic information including age, gender, ethnicity, and activity level, as well as lifestyle and performance goals.
• Within days after your blood test, you will have online access to your analysis and evidence-based nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, and supplementation recommendations for how to improve your biomarkers. Your doctor will just send you a card in the mail that says your results are “normal.”

Which biomarkers does InsideTracker measure?

InsideTracker measures up to 20 biomarkers refined through extensive research from a list of 3000 by InsideTracker’s scientists based on their relevance for athletic performance and wellbeing. These biomarkers include: calcium, cholesterol, chromium, c-reactive protein, creatine kinase, ferritin, folic acid, glucose, HDL, hemoglobin, LDL, magnesium, potassium, sodium, testosterone, triglycerides, vitamin B12, vitamin D, white blood cell count, and zinc. For more information about the biomarkers tested in each InsideTracker plan, visit our Plans page.

Blood testing

How long does it take to arrange my blood draw?
