Iron is an important component in oxygen transport as also is one basic process of life. About half of the body's iron is found in red blood cells in the oxygen-transporting hemoglobin. Remainsande del are in muscle tissue, blood plasma and in a long line enzymes. Excess iron is stored in liver, spleen and bone marrow. Common symptoms of iron deficiency are fatigue, pallor and andfåddhet. You get your iron from two main sources: from your diet (about 5%) and from the breakdown and turnover of your red blood cells (about 95%). In your diet, there are two main types of iron: Fe2 +, which is found in meat and dairy products, and Fe3 +, which is more difficult to absorb and is found in plant-based foods.

Cobalamins (Vitamin B12) is important for the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body. B12 is also involved in metabolism. B12 is needed in the process of building new proteins from DNA, ie a deficiency interferes with the formation of new cells. It is particularly noticeable in organ systems that have a high rate of cell division, such as blood, hair, skin, intestinesarna. Loansevere deficiency of vitamin B12 can also cause nerve damage. Although naturally vitamin B12 almost exclusively found in animal foods, are many vegetarian and vegan products, especially plant milk, now fortified with vitamin B12. 

It is important to have enough vitamin D for the body to function properly. Vitamin D. is an important part of regulating the metabolism of lime and contributes to a strong and healthy skeleton. It is also important for a well-functioning immune system. I hudone forms Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. IN Sweden this is difficult, especially in winter. It is very common for people living in Norden have low vitamin D.value, even if they train outdoors.  

Magnesium is an important minerals for most processes in the body. The is important for our muscles and nerves to function normally and in the synthesis of gener. Cabout 50 % are found in bone, ca 50 % is found in tissuesna and less than 1 % is present in the blood. Magnesium deficiency can cause muscle weakness and muscle spasms.

TSH is a hormone that formed in the brain and regulates the thyroid hormone T4. TSH and T4 go in normal cases hand in hand and their levels affect each other, why it is often measuredyour these together. At both too high and too low levels of T4 affects the body's metabolism. High levels of TSH may be due to the pituitary gland, which produces TSH, do not feel that there is enough T4 in the blood - that isägave it normala the feedback mechanism not works. Even vid low levels so the pituitary gland can produce too little hormone alternatively so is the thyroid gland sick and does not respond to the stimulation from pituitary gland TSH. At too high T4 levels it may be due to overstimulation of TSH or that the thyroid gland itself releases large amounts of T4. The analysis freely measures T4 which is what is available and active in the body.

Triiodothyronine-T3, (free T3) is the more active of the two thyroid hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Most of the T3 (and T4) is bound to protein in the blood. Free T3 measures the level of T3 that is free, or bound to protein, and that is available to regulate metabolism.  

Triglycerides (TG) are a type of fat (lipid) that circulate in the blood. They are transported in the bloodstream by lipoproteins. After you eat, your body converts excess calories into triglycerides which are then transported to cells to be stored as fat. Your body then releases triglycerides when needed for energy. At high levels in combination with a high LDL value it may increase the risk of heart attackAnd vascular disease. 

HDL cholesterol, is a molecule in the body that removes cholesterol from the bloodstream and transports it to the liver where it is broken down and removed from the body in the bile. HDL cholesterol is commonly known as "good cholesterol" and the higher the value, the better. You can make dramatic changes to your cholesterol levels through diet and exercise. If you can improve your levels you can minimize the risk of serious side effects of high cholesterol further ahead. You can use HDL– and LDL–results as markers and goals for improvement. Regular exercise helps to get downd LDL and raise HDL, especially cardio training. A Mediterranean diet that contains a lot of vegetables, fat fish, seafood and vegetabile oils, and low carbohydrate levels, low meat and dairy content, also helps to optimize cholesterol levels. 

LDL cholesterol is a molecule made of lipids and proteins that transport cholesterol, triglycerides and other fats to various tissues throughout the body. Too much LDL cholesterol, commonly referred to as "bad cholesterol", can cause fat deposits to accumulate inside the artery walls, leading to atherosclerosis and heart disease. The lower the value, the better. You can make dramatic changes to your cholesterol levels through diet and exercise. You can use HDL and LDL results as markers and goals for improvement. Regular exercise helps to get downd LDL and raise HDL, especially cardio and strength training. A Mediterranean diet that contains a lot of vegetables, fat fish, shellfish and vegetable oils, and low carbohydrate levels, low meat and dairy content, also helps to optimize cholesterol levels. 

Cholesterol is an essential fat (lipid) in the body. Although it has a bad reputation, it has some important features, including to build cell membranes and to produce a number of important hormones. Cholesterol is produced in the liver and also comes from the food we eat. Total cholesterol is a measure of all the cholesterol in your blood, both good and bad. Fats are the primary source of energy when long endurance needed or when the carbohydrate energy sources are low. Cholesterol carries fatty acids around the body. Kolesterollevels provide an insight into your health and its cardiovascular risks (ie risk of narrowing of the blood vessels, Hypertension, heart attack and stroke). The liver regulates cholesterol levels in the body and lipoproteinsna which carries cholesterol in the body via the bile.
