Try to sleep, eat, drink, exercise and work normally during the days before the test. The day before the test, try to have your meals at your usual mealtimes. Heavy stress or an intense sports performance on the previous day or the same day, for example, can also affect the values.

We recommend getting tested right away so that you can keep track of changes in your health. It is a good idea to find out the baseline before starting your exercise regimen or making other lifestyle changes so that you can see the effects of the changes in your test results. Seeing how your test results improve can motivate you to continue with your lifestyle changes. The baseline results and follow-up test results are updated on the same report in My journal, making it easy to see your progress. 

If you have booked an appointment at the laboratory, you can register at the reception and take a seat and wait for your turn.

All you need to bring with you is proof of identity (such as your driver’s license, identity card or passport). 

If you have placed a separate additional order and want to have all the tests taken at the same time, be sure to inform the laboratory. 

The results are displayed as an easy-to-read report in the My journal section. We have tried to make the report as simple and clear as possible. We have received a lot of praise from our customers for the clarity of our reports! 

The results can be viewed on mobile or on a computer. The results are presented graphically, and the next time you get tested, the new results are updated in the same graphs. In certain tests, the value is not accurately determined after a certain limit, because it has no diagnostic significance. 

If the value is marked with red, the value falls outside the reference values. If the value is marked with green, it falls within the reference values. Some of the values also have a yellow area between them, which indicates a small deviation from the reference values. 

The results can be saved as a PDF file that opens with Adobe Acrobat, for example. If you wish, you can also print the results on paper.
