- A blood panel showing which vitamins and minerals you are low in — which is not always what you would guess from symptoms alone.
See the treatment ›
- Inflammatory markers
- Blood values that indicate inflammation in the body. Read alongside your other results rather than in isolation.

- Subcutaneous
- Into the layer of fat just beneath the skin — one of the routes by which an injectable medication may be administered.
- Titration
- Adjusting a dose gradually to find the lowest amount that achieves the intended effect, while monitoring how you respond.
- Half-life
- How long it takes for half of a medication to clear the body. It is part of what determines how often a treatment is given.
