Semaglutide Monitoring Panel

The Semaglutide Monitoring Panel consists of 9 blood tests that can help you and your healthcare provider monitor your health while taking semaglutide. Even if you are not taking semaglutide, this panel can provide valuable information about your blood sugar and insulin levels, kidney and liver function, thyroid health, blood count, cholesterol, and vitamin B12.

Semaglutide (which also goes by the brand names of Ozempic and Wegovy) is a medication that is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes. However, it has also been approved for weight management in individuals with obesity. When taking semaglutide for weight loss, monitoring your blood work is essential for several reasons:

Staying safe: Like all medications, semaglutide can sometimes cause side effects. This is why routine lab monitoring is important- by doing regular blood tests, you and your healthcare provider can detect potential adverse reactions.
Monitoring organ function: Many medications are processed by your liver and kidneys, so it is important to monitor your liver and kidney function when taking certain medications.
Checking your nutrients: If you are taking additional supplements while using semaglutide, it is important to keep track of your levels.
Checking blood sugar: Semaglutide is also used to control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Even if you are taking it for weight loss, it can still affect your blood sugar.

The Semaglutide Monitoring Panel provides a great starting point for routine lab monitoring while taking semaglutide. You should work with your healthcare provider to determine the frequency of lab testing, and to see if any additional testing is needed.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)

$49.00

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein made in the prostate gland. The PSA, Total test measures the amount of PSA in the blood.

PSA is either bound or unbound (free) in the blood. Bound PSA is attached to other proteins; free PSA is not attached to other proteins.

Elevated PSA levels may be found in conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, prostate cancer, and others. PSA may also be elevated due to certain medications or urologic procedures.

The PSA test is not diagnostic of cancer, and PSA test results should be followed up by a healthcare provider.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

$49.00

The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating how your body uses energy. The thyroid also produces hormones critical to proper cell and system functioning.

The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test checks your body’s production of TSH and helps screen for thyroid disease, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.

There are two types of thyroid disorders including:

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) – symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, a short attention span, and numbness or cold intolerance.
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) – symptoms may include weight loss, persistent vomiting, increased blood pressure, hair loss or a persistently fast heart rate.

Blood Type and Rh Factor

$49.00

The Blood Typing and RH Factor Test determines your blood type [either A, B, AB, and O] and Rh factor [negative or positive]. Did you know there are several benefits in knowing both?

Blood type is determined by the types of antigens (or markers) on your blood cells. Antigens are proteins on the surface of your blood cells that can cause a response from the immune system – which is good in fighting disease.

The Rh factor is a type of protein on the surface of red blood cells. Red blood cells that contain protein are called Rh‐positive and the red blood cells that don’t are Rh‐negative. If you have Rh‐negative blood, it can be given to anyone because it can’t be identified as foreign in other people’s bodies (because it doesn’t have an antigen.)
