Paying quarterly is $75, monthly would be $90 ($30 per month). So over the course of a year, the savings would be 4 X $15 or $60 total.

@DonLigero - with the price of the Omefa Check test decreased individually, could they also adjust the price of the panels where it is included (advanced and common healthspan)? I’d love to see tomhose adjusted before the 20% code expires tomorrow!

Let me see what I can do.

TLDR: A new service is available in the US that allows purchasing of discounted labs, processed by LabCorp (Quest pending). It is a subscription based service that is priced lower than most every other available service. Details are available here: Fitomics Research Labs . Use code MESO for 5% off of lab orders (does not apply to subscription fee).

This is a few of the more common tests available compared to the existing popular services. Of course the other services often have discount codes, but you will find that Fitomics is still a better deal.

For those who like more detail. Fitomics is a Birmingham based fitness lab. Led by Cody Haun, PhD, they take a science based approach to individual responses to interventions. You can see some of Cody's research publication here.

I have been working with Fitomics for over a year as a customer. I have seen great gains while working with them. As part of their science based approach, we often ordered routine and detail blood work. I realized early on, that their prices were AMAZING. I eventually convinced them to offer this service to individuals outside the local area. Soft-launched in May of 2024, Fitomics has served over 200 orders and is now opening to the public.

Currently all orders go through LabCorp. They are diligently working to bring Quest as an option as well. Of course a few states (NY,NJ), this service is not available.

This is a monthly subscription service to order labs at these prices. The subscription fee covers all lab draw fees. If you are ordering a single IGF-1 test, then this service does not make sense. For those testing many biomarkers on a regular cadence, this could save significant money. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time.

Feel free to reach out for specific questions or to request additional tests be added. There are a number of Meso members who have already used this service.

Damn, that’s impressive! It’s not like you could do it for a fraction of the price by just going to your GP. Thanks for sharing!

You do realize most people don’t involve their GP in their illegal drug use.

I wasn't aware that most people were living in North Korea.

Right ? If I wanted to open up, I’d probably pay $15 co pay for what ever bloods I want through my insurance. Then if I ever stubbed my toe they would blame the exogenous testosterone, that they don’t know much about.

And good luck getting a decent life insurance policy after your dr notes your drug use.

All panels with OmegaCheck have been adjusted down about $17 to reflect this new pricing.

Not only that. I like to get labs fairly often. How many times will my GP request the specific labs I want on a routine basis. And even more importantly how many times will my insurance cover them without a diagnosis and a solid justification for getting those labs often.

Does the Male Hormone Panel for the insider shop have LC/MS-MS or ECLIA for Testosterone?

Here is the list. Estradiol Sensitive LC/MS is on the list but not MS-MS. I’ll look at some of the other panels and see if it’s on there.

Testosterone, Free, Direct With Total Testosterone, LC/MS-MS $22.48. Is that the one you are looking for?​

The female hormone panel has LC/MS-MS. But it’s not specified which one is on the male panel. Was going to order multiples for monthly testing with the current discount, unless they run black friday deals. Already ordered the LC/MS-MS separately.

Ordered the male hormone panel and the labcorp code on the requisition is 140103 using ECLIA. So not sensitive.

Started using them for the last 2 months and have had great success with them. Wouldn't have known otherwise without this community. Thanks a lot!

I'd add SHBG to this so you can compute free test.

Thanks guys. I got a full blood panel at FunctionHealth before I started. Going to get the next one started soon here.
