I’ve started checking ferritin too. It wasn’t peptide-related, but I ended up finding something I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

Does anyone here use ApoB instead of just looking at LDL? I’ve been seeing it mentioned a lot lately.

Same. A before-and-after comparison is way more useful than a single blood test.

I made the mistake of not getting baseline labs once. After that I realized it’s hard to know if anything actually changed.

CRP is one I always include. It’s inexpensive and gives me a rough idea of inflammation.

My doctor orders most of my labs anyway, so I usually just add one or two extra markers if I’m curious about something specific.

dont forget liver and kidney markers. probably not exciting but i still want to know everything looks normal

IGF-1 has been the biggest one for me because I’ve looked into several growth hormone related peptides.

Honestly I only do bloodwork twice a year unless I’m trying something completely new.

I thought it was worth it. The body fat percentage was interesting, but seeing how much lean mass I had in each arm and leg was even more useful.
