Plasmalogen Blood Test
A revolution in health optimization!
Biochemistry is a living and active process inside your body. The Plasmalogen Blood Test measures key biochemical systems to understand your biochemical health. You can take control of these systems to optimize health for longevity.
Not only are the biomarkers we measure critical for optimal health, dysfunctional levels are scientifically linked to increased risk of diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Dr. Dayan Goodenowe - a biochemist, neuroscientist, and synthetic organic chemist - invented an advanced mass spectrometry technology platform in 1999 that has been used to analyze thousands of human samples from around the world and continues to be the most advanced technology of its kind today.
In the video below Dr. Goodenowe explains more about the ProdromeScan blood test and what it measures.
The ProdromeScan Blood Test - What Does it Measure?
ProdromeScan is a multi-system blood test, specifically designed to assist Functional Medicine doctors and biohackers in achieving optimal biochemical health for themselves and their patients. Your biochemistry is personal. With this ground breaking test the secrets of your biochemistry are revealed, in a useful way. This test allows you to objectively measure, track and optimise performance of a targeted intervention strategy.
The test measures approximately 100 biomarkers and organises this information into specific biosystems known to be associated with advanced health and longevity. ProdromeScan evaluates both biosystem reserve capacity and biosystem function. Each of the biosystems measured is modifiable using targeted lifestyle, supplementation and diet based strategies.

Blood Test Logistics
Once your order is processed you will be emailed a receipt and form to take to your local pathology lab. They will then collect your blood, process your sample, and send it to our offices in Sydney where we ship it to a specialist testing lab in the USA. Once testing is complete your results and detailed report will be emailed to you.
The blood test results report will be ready 10 to 14 days after the sample arrives in the US laboratory.
The test price is inclusive of blood collection, shipping, testing, and GST for a single patient.
