Health assessment Fingerstick of blood (Point of Care) • Metabolic disease markers (total cholesterol, HDL and LDL, triglycerides, and glucose) • Hemoglobin A1c (diabetes) • Hemoglobin (anemia) • Fatty acid profiles of 23 different fatty acids incl. DHA & EPA Anthropometry and Diagnostics • Blood pressure • Standard anthropometry (height/length, weight) • Abdominal circumference
