USA Discounted Blood work

[Ateam2023]

thats so individual and hard to answer,

Would a low dose, like say 10mg be enough to quickly recoup e2?

Also it all depends on how you crashed your shit, what caused it (other steroids/Ai?) Dex has a shorter half life than the "suicide Ai" asin,, so it takes less time to recover, like i said , very individual, but i think dbol is an extreme case , depending on circumstances, i dunno if that makes sense i hope?

How is marek vs fitmics price comparison?

How is marek vs fitmics price comparison?

Marek is nowhere close.
The only other competitor is DrSays.
DrSays has an optional subscription option($3/mth) but you can buy labs from them with or without a subscription.
Subscription price for labwork is lower.
Depending on what you test, it can be cheaper at DrSays, even without the subscription.

Fitomics however gives out coupon codes regularly, which kinds of makes it cheaper. I spent a few hundred just during the recent EASTER promotion.

I just took a look at them, prices seem worse than ulta blood tests.

DrSays has great prices though, I will use them next time I get blood work.

i guess it matters what you are testing, i only use them for certain labs throughout the year, i find the e2 tests to be compareable with what i just paid through fitnomics, ,

Mine were showing up in LabCorp consistently for several months then for some reason in January they no longer do. At all. I forgot to mention it to the lab I use when I went last week.

I've noticed that if they can pull up the requisition in the system, they'll show up on the labcorp portal, but if they don't and I have to hand them the printout or email them the requisition, it won't.

28 days to get results, this is on labcorp. I guess ApoE, RA, and a few of the other tests took a while. Need to run specialty tests separately from now on. HS-CRP back down to 0.33 after discontinuing QSC gear, was over 6. Kept creeping up until I had to make a change.

Anyone see any Fitomics Memorial Day sales?

Nothing yet. You’d think if there was going to be a sale we’d already have received an email.

They send an email for sales if you have a subscription.

Been using DrSays for while and it's been great. It seems Fitomics is the only other one comparable in price.

Fitomics(30$/subscription) is still better for most LC/MS stuff but it's on the same level as DrSays for most health markers (not all). Well, that's until the subscription price goes up to $50 on 5/31.

DrSays (3$/subscription) also allows you to purchase labs 6 months in advance. You can sub, purchase 6 months of labs, and canceI, same as Fitomics. I do hope they think twice about the increase in subscription fee, or at least allow us to purchase labs like DrSays without a sub.

For majority of us, the 50$ does not provide any additional benefit. If Fitomics is losing money on the venipuncture fee, they can always impose a minimum charge on labs ordered.

I'll definitely be checking out Fitnomics. With bloodwork every 8 weeks it might be worth it. I do like how DrSays allows me to share my plan with a few people. I'll have to see if fitnomics does the same.

I just compared my recent DrSays lab work with fitnomics. Overall fitnomics is cheaper, but it is mostly driven by a few specific tests. So probably best to just compare your specific needs and see what makes sense. I'll probably stick with DrSays since I don't usually test Vitamin-D or IGF-1, which makes the difference about $7, and with the higher monthly fees on fitnomics, DrSays would be cheaper. I do also like that my wife can order bloodwork as well under my same DrSays subscription.

I would test D at least 1x a year (after winter).
I also don't see the point in testing free test routinely, especially if you test your gear...

With Apo A1 + B, LP(a), do you still need NMR? (Just curious)

Fitomics does have a subscription fee, which is going up to $50 on 5/31.


Hi @DonLigero
Can we also price match on NMR and hsCRP?

Is most of this considered standard. I'm trying to get an idea of what is needed for testing. This would get pricey quick.

No, you don't need all that every time. Depends on what you're working on, but this is a pretty extensive set of tests. I'm trying to dial in lipids and TRT treatment, so I'm testing those more extensively and seeing the effects it has on other biomarkers. Once things are stable in an area you can test it much more infrequently. This time I actually didn't test vitamin d or igf since things are stable there for me. Normally id only do a regular lipid panel instead of all the NMR, Apo, lipo testing.

I just started TRT a month ago. Planning on getting some bloods at 6 weeks as reading here things should be stable by then. Assuming things are looking good planning on doing my first test only cycle.

I have baseline from about 6 weeks ago so thinking the basic hormone tests should be good with the basic panels because why not?

Anything else one should be paying attention to in my situation that you'd recommend?
