Have you ever come in from a long, hot day of yard work and grabbed the plump, juicy looking orange out of the fruit bowl only to peel it open and find that it’s rotten on the inside? That moment is always so disappointing! Sometimes our bodies can pull that trick on us too. How healthy are you? We can look healthy on the outside but don’t feel healthy on the inside. This could be due to missing vital nutrients, hormone imbalances, or an infection. Before searching on WebMD for a simple answer to a stomachache and finding out it could be a rare parasite, get the facts with a general health blood test panel.
There are a series of blood tests that can give you the factual answers to what is going on inside your body. ProHealth combined routine blood tests together to create the General Health Panel for an overall look at your health. Below is a breakdown of the purpose of each test.
