At-Home Cholesterol Test Kit by Verisana

The test is recommended for anyone who wants to monitor their cholesterol levels to determine their risk of developing cardiovascular and arteriosclerotic diseases early. It is particularly important for individuals with a family history of high cholesterol, those who smoke, have high blood pressure, or are overweight. The test can be conducted 1-2 times per year to react quickly to increases in cholesterol levels, such as with dietary changes. It involves collecting a dried blood spot sample through a finger prick and sending it back to the lab for analysis. Monitoring cholesterol levels can help optimize diet, improve health, and decrease the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The test kit includes sample instructions, equipment, and a bag for return shipment, and provides a detailed laboratory report. It should be noted that the test is not available in certain states due to regulatory reasons.
