What's measured

5 unique markers reveal how you make and absorb cholesterol

Normally, the liver produces 75% of your cholesterol and you absorb the remaining 25% from foods. Lathosterol is a marker of cholesterol production in your body – how much cholesterol you make in your liver. Elevated levels could be associated with higher LDL-C and increased cardiovascular disease risk.

Take this test if you...

Have elevated LDL cholesterol

The cholesterol DX test details

Get to know your at-home cholesterol balance test

Why test your cholesterol balance at home?

Cholesterol is found in every cell of your body. It helps with food digestion and makes hormones and vitamin D.

This test measures if your liver produces too much cholesterol. It also measures if your body absorbs too much cholesterol.

This allows you and your healthcare provider to personalize your cholesterol treatment plan and prevent heart disease. The cholesterol DX test complements all of our heart health products.
