Complete blood count from a family doctor or at Aescolab?

A complete blood count (CBC) measures various parameters in the blood, including blood components such as red blood pigment, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is primarily used to assess the condition of blood cells and may indicate anemia, an ongoing infection, or possibly impaired blood coagulation.

However, a complete blood count does not provide direct information about the body's supply of nutrients or metabolism, and the body strives to optimize the complete blood count as much as possible, so that deficiencies and serious changes are only noticed very late. Sometimes too late to be able to take preventive measures. A complete blood count alone cannot provide information about health or illness.

Whole blood vs. serum — what does that mean and why is it important to you?

Whole blood levels provide a comprehensive analysis, which can be decisive for gaining more energy. Compared to serum tests, whole blood samples contain both cellular components and blood fluid (serum), which provides more detailed insights into the health status. By analyzing nutritional deficiencies more precisely, whole blood tests can help optimize energy levels and increase vitality.

Thoroughbred analysis requires a slightly higher investment, but this is the only way we can gain the important insights to really make statements about health and energy and improve them.
