The women's panel (age 60+) tests over 40 different markers in your blood.
Test Type: Blood
Preparation: Fasting is required, see FAQ

The women's panel (age 60+) was designed to test important lab markers for women age 60 and over. The women's panel (age 60+) adapts the women's 50-59 panel by removing the FSH and LH tests (related to menopause and fertility) and adding the zinc test. Zinc is important for healthy hair, memory and nerve function and, with age, continues to play important role.
Overall, the women's health panel (age 60+) checks the complete blood count (CBC) test, comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) test, estradiol test, hemoglobin A1c test, homocysteine test, iron and TIBC test, lipid panel test, progesterone test, testosterone total and free test, TSH test, vitamin B12 test, vitamin D test, and zinc test levels.
