What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that your body needs for good health, but in the right amounts. High levels of cholesterol can lead to a condition called high blood cholesterol which poses a high risk for heart disease.
The body uses cholesterol as the starting point to make many essential compounds like estrogen, testosterone, bile acids, vitamin D, etc. It helps to build your cells, and your body metabolism to work efficiently and keeps you healthy. Maintaining optimum cholesterol levels is important for your body to function well. High levels of certain types of cholesterol like LDL cholesterol can lead to clogging of the blood vessels which can eventually lead to the development of coronary heart disease.
Everyone should have their first screening test for cholesterol by age 35 for men, and age 45 for women. Some guidelines recommend starting at age 20 or even earlier depending on a person’s overall health.
There are different types of cholesterol such as total cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol), High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL cholesterol), Triglycerides (another type of fat in your blood), and Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL cholesterol). High cholesterol doesn’t have symptoms, hence most people do not know when their blood cholesterol levels are high. Therefore, the only way to know whether you have high cholesterol is to get your cholesterol checked regularly. You can do a simple blood test, called a “lipid profile test” to measure your cholesterol levels.
Getting your cholesterol levels tested is an important part of keeping your heart and blood vessels healthy. In general, fasting before your test isn’t required. But your doctor may recommend fasting if you’re already taking a cholesterol medication.
A complete cholesterol test tells you the amount of “good” and “bad” cholesterol along with the level of triglycerides present in your blood.
Maintaining optimum cholesterol levels is vital for heart health. Consume heart-healthy foods including, grains, millet, brown rice, lean meat, and protein. Increase fiber intake from foods like oats, beans, and lentils. Consume antioxidant-rich foods such as nuts and green leafy vegetables, as they improve your heart health. Regular physical activity can help raise your good cholesterol levels. Quit smoking, as it damages blood vessels in your heart and limits alcohol intake.

What is blood sugar?
The blood sugar is the concentration of glucose in the blood. The blood sugar in our body comes from the food we eat every day.
Blood sugar has a variety of purposes in our bodies, including energy storage, preserving homeostasis, hormone regulation, and brain function. For general health, maintaining ideal blood sugar levels is crucial. Low blood sugar levels can cause hypoglycemia, and high blood sugar levels can cause hyperglycemia, often known as diabetes.
Any person exhibiting any symptoms of diabetes including constant weakness, frequent urination, weight loss, and with a family history of diabetes or women who are pregnant or want to become pregnant, or any cardiovascular disease, and overweight, need to have their blood sugar levels checked. Additionally, it is advised to have a blood sugar test over the age of 45 and a Body Mass Index over 25 or higher.
HbA1C Test: measures your average blood sugar level over the past 2 or 3 months. Fasting Blood Sugar Test: requires an overnight fast to determine your blood sugar levels. Random blood sugar test (RBS): measures blood sugar levels at any time, regardless of when you last ate.
For a fasting blood glucose test, avoid eating or drinking for 8 hours before the test. For a postprandial glucose test, it is measured two hours after having a meal.
The diabetes test results indicate the amount of blood sugar levels in your body, helping to identify risks of developing diabetes or how well your diabetes is being managed.
Frequent urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, weakness, skin infections, numbness of hands and feet, and increased hunger are all symptoms of diabetes.
Portion control and eating low-calorie foods can help control weight, which helps maintain healthy sugar levels and lower risk of diabetes. Consuming low-carbohydrate foods like brown rice, oats, chickpeas, and lentils helps regulate blood sugar.
Causes include genetics, obesity, lack of physical activity, unhealthy diet, and environmental viral infections.

What is mineral panel?
Minerals are essential nutrients that are vital for carrying out physiological functions. A mineral panel test gives information about the metabolic and electrolyte balances of your body, as well as the functioning of organs like the liver and kidneys.
The role of mineral panels includes bone health, fluid-electrolyte balance, and energy production, as deficiencies or excesses of certain minerals can lead to health problems and imbalances in bodily functions. Thus, doing a mineral function test can help us know how well your minerals are in your blood, which in turn can be a sign of health or disease in other parts of your body.
Regularly checking your mineral levels is recommended especially if you have any symptoms such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, muscle weakness, or cramps, bone and joint pain.
There are various kinds of mineral biomarkers including magnesium, calcium, selenium, zinc, iodine, copper, and so on. You can do a quick test called as “mineral test” on your blood.
For a mineral test, no extra preparation is required. Any time during the day you can give your blood for the test.
Mineral function test results check the levels of certain vitamins present in your blood. Levels that are higher or lower than normal can indicate kidney problems and vitamin deficiencies.

Who should take the test?
It is generally not recommended to test for chronic heavy metal poisoning unless your doctor suspects that you have had some accidental exposure to heavy metals based on your symptoms and recommends testing. Exceptions include screening high-risk children for lead poisoning and certain occupational settings where specific metals may be present. If you think you have been exposed to greater than normal amounts of a heavy metal, such as lead or arsenic, consult a doctor for proper medical advice and directions.
A heavy metal blood test, also known as a heavy metals panel or heavy metal toxicity test, looks at a small sample of your blood for the presence of common metals such as Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Aluminium. Your body has small amounts of metals like iron, copper and zinc that are important to keep your organs functioning. However, excessive accumulation of metals can damage vital organs like your brain and liver.
Your body has small amounts of metals like iron, copper and zinc which are important to keep your organs functioning. Too much metal accumulated within your body can damage vital organs such as the brain and liver.
A heavy metal blood test looks at a small sample of your blood for the presence of metals. No special preparation is typically required.
For a mineral test, no extra preparation is required. Any time during the day you can give your blood for the test.
Exposure to heavy metals can be dangerous to your health. Some heavy metals are toxic because their molecules damage or negatively interact with cells essential to keep your organs functioning.

What is a female hormone panel test?
A blood test for female hormones is about information on female reproductive health. They can detect problems associated with fertility, menstruation cycle, or whether a woman is in the perimenopause stage.
The role of female hormone levels is to maintain reproductive functions such as menstrual cycles, menopause, pregnancy and sexual changes in women. Higher levels of female hormones can lead to PCOD (Polycystic ovarian disease) and thyroid problems. Women over 40 of age must have this test, as their hormones will be going through major changes from this point onwards.
Female hormone panel can be done at any age especially individuals who have symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as irregular periods, excessive bleeding, weakness, weight gain.
Some of the hormonal markers include anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), free thyroxine (fT4), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). You can do a simple test using your blood sample, called a “female hormonal test” to assess the performance of your hormones.
In general, there isn’t any specific precautions you have before the test, unless your health care practitioner provides you with any special instructions.
A complete female hormonal panel test result tells you about the values of your hormones, which are often tested to check whether menopause has begun. High estradiol levels can be associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Low levels can mean decreased bone density.

What is male hormonal panel?
Male hormone panel is a simple test that provides information on hormones such as FSH, LH, testosterone and male hormone panel provides prostate cancer screening information, sexual functions and sperm production information.
The male hormones play a vital role in maintaining fertility, sperm production, red blood cell production and sexual function. Maintaining optimum hormone levels is important for your body to function well. High levels of male hormone levels can lead to low sperm count and impotence.
The male hormone tests are recommended for people who experience any symptoms such as low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, infertility, low energy, depression, or present with enlarged breast tissue.
There are different types of markers such as DHEA-S, DHT, Estradiol (E2), Testosterone (Free and Total), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), PSA and so on. You can do a simple test using your blood sample, called a “male hormonal test” to assess the performance of your hormones.
For male hormone test, there is no need to fast. Take all the medications as prescribed, the ideal time to draw blood test is from 8AM-10AM.
Male hormonal panel test results tell you about the levels of certain hormones in your blood. Higher hormone levels may indicate hypogonadism, which is “low testosterone” and high testosterone in males can cause a variety of symptoms, including excessive facial and body hair, aggression, and infertility.

What is blood panel?
A blood panel is a test that measures different components of blood such as red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets. The blood panel is used for diagnosing various health conditions such as anemia, and vitamin deficiencies.
The role of blood in our body is to transport oxygen and nutrients to lungs and other tissues. Also blood carries antibodies which help fight against an infection. So, maintaining optimum blood levels is important for your body to function well for better health and disease free life.
Individuals who have weakness, frequent fevers, sudden weight loss and it is recommended for routine health check.
There are many different blood tests. Some tests — such as complete blood count, platelets, MCV (Mean corpuscular volume), MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin), WBC (White blood cell) count. You can do a simple test using your blood, called a “Complete blood picture (CBP)”.
Generally, you don’t need to do anything special prior to your test. You can eat and drink normally, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
A complete blood test tells you whether your blood is functioning properly. For example, your red blood cells carry oxygen throughout your body. A blood test may show you have low red blood cell levels (anemia).

Why should I worry or care about NAD?
NAD, Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, is a fundamental vitamin essential to life as it is a co-enzyme required for the function of over 500 enzymes. Unfortunately, NAD levels declines as we age. Most people in their 30s are already deficient in NAD and the levels continue to decrease over time. Deficient NAD contributes many diseases and health conditions such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, inflammation, arthritis, heart failure, infertility, and almost all age-related diseases. Fortunately, there are efficient ways to bring NAD levels to the optimal range with NAD testing and supplementation with building blocs of NAD.
The Longeny’s NAD+, is a powder that can easily be dissolved in water. The powder form is preferred because it does not contain any other substances or fillers that are normally used to make capsules, and the dosage can be adjusted easily. Simply dissolve the desired amount of powder in room temperature water and drink it slowly. Keeping the solution in the mouth for 30-60 seconds for each sip can increase absorption via the sublingual route and can be helpful for brain function. We recommend taking two doses daily, one in the early part of the day, and one in the evening. However, you can take the NAD+ Boost at any time, with or without food. It is best to take the product before you feel tired and need a boost of energy. For those with sleeping issues, take it right before bedtime may help you sleep.
The best to elevate NAD level is through supplementation with NAD precursors, the building blocs that cells can use to make NAD. Although NAD precursors alone can increase NAD levels in some individuals, our NAD+, a patent-pending NAD formulation with the best NAD precursor and three other ingredients (creatine monohydrate, D-ribose and niacinamide) work together to elevate NAD levels better than any other NAD products on the market. The formulation has been extensively tested in clinical studies and by thousands of consumers. It allows optimization of NAD in approximately 85% of users. NAD+ from Longeny clearly outperforms pure NAD precursor from other brands. Additionally, almost all users with optimized NAD levels experience functional and clinical improvement in their health and performance. We promise to work with each customer to find a satisfactory solution and offer a total guarantee of NAD optimization with a money-back guarantee.
NAD optimization is the first step to better health and longevity. There are numerous benefits, including increased energy, better sleep, improved performance, reduction in muscle and joint pains, enhanced immunity against infections, reduced inflammation, reduction in insulin resistance, clearer mental clarity, and improved liver and heart function. Actual benefits may vary from person to person, and individual health conditions may influence impact.
The most common signs include chronic fatigue, lack of energy, poor performance, lack of mental clarity, sleeping issues, and poor health in general. However, you may not show any symptoms while your NAD levels are already low.
There are no known side effects associated with taking safe dosages of high-quality NAD supplements. We recommend caution for patients with active cancer because it is currently unknown whether NAD supplements are beneficial or harmful to cancer patients. NAD can boost antitumor immunity (good for survival) and possibly accelerate cancer cell proliferation (bad for cancer patients). You can find more information on this topic on our “Science” page.
Most people taking our NAD+ Boost feel a clear difference. The improvement may be immediate or may take 2-3 months, depending on each individual’s health condition. Generally, people who have severely deficient NAD levels and have increased their NAD to above 50μM (micromolar) notice clear improvements. However, people who already have relatively high NAD levels, and/or who do not have any specific complaints, may or may not experience a noticeable difference.
NAD helps with energy metabolism and cellular repair.
The proportion of people with NAD deficiencies increases with age. Some young children already have suboptimal NAD levels and require NAD supplementation. There is no upper age limit to NAD supplementation. There is very limited available data on the safety of NMN in children. Our own experience indicates that NMN is very safe for very young children although the dosage should be proportionally reduced based on body weight. We recommend testing NAD levels before considering NAD supplementation for children.
There are no known adverse interactions between the product and prescription drugs. Data suggests that NAD optimization may improve the efficacy of certain health procedures, such as therapies for inflammation and oxidative stress and cellular senescence. Further studies are needed to define these potential benefits.
