Why should you be tracking inflammation markers?

Inflammation is beneficial when the body requires it to combat acute infections or injuries. However, it becomes detrimental when it persists over a long period, leading to chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation can speed up the process of aging[1]. So-called inflammaging contributes to premature frailty, wrinkles and other physical symptoms of age, as well as earlier mortality.

Measuring is the first step to reducing inflammation

Unlike acute inflammation, which manifests visibly as swelling, fever, or redness, the much more harmful low-grade chronic inflammation is hard to notice. You may feel the symptoms such as exhaustion, unexplained weight gain, or aches, but in order to accurately assess the levels of chronic inflammation, it’s important to measure relevant biomarkers.

What is inflammaging

The scientific community is still exploring whether inflammation is the main culprit behind aging or if aging itself triggers inflammation. However, what we do know for sure is that making healthy lifestyle choices and actively managing chronic inflammation can have a significant impact on our overall well-being. By adopting habits that regulate and lower inflammation, we can expect to enjoy a longer, more vibrant life with improved cognitive functions[2].

Connection to heart disease

Inflammatory factors

Chronic inflammation is caused by many modern lifestyle factors, including chronic stress[3], poor sleep, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies[4], insulin resistance[5], and inflammatory foods (such as seed oils, conventional processed meats[6], or MSG and food colorings[7]).

Which biomarkers are closely connected to inflammation?

Ferritin

Ferritin levels increase during inflammation to decrease the bacterial growth of iron, and as such it is a marker of both acute and chronic inflammation. High ferritin can be a strong predictor of many inflammatory diseases, including fatty liver disease [8] and many cancers.[9]

High Sensitivity CRP

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver that indicates inflammation in the body. A high-sensitivity CRP can detect even the smallest changes in inflammation, so it’s more useful for measuring low-grade inflammation.[10]

Homocysteine

Elevated homocysteine levels are linked to age-related inflammation, and inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. [11] Homocysteine can be naturally lowered by consuming folate-rich foods, such as leafy green vegetables.[12]

Vitamin D

Low vitamin D levels are associated with chronic pain, mood issues, depression, fatigue, muscle weakness, high blood pressure, and susceptibility to frequent colds and flus — all signs of inflammation. A recent study shows that vitamin D supplementation leads to a significant improvement in chronic inflammation.[12]

Comprehensive Test Kit

17 included biomarkers

Our at-home test kit contains the biomarkers you need to provide you with the best overall snapshot of your health.

The SiPhox Health standard test measures 17 essential biomarkers measuring inflammation, metabolic fitness, hormonal and nutritional balance, and cardiovascular health. You can customize the test by adding on expansion panels, including Hormone+, Thyroid+, Fertility+, and Mineral+.

A few drops of blood
A few drops of blood

Is a few drops of blood really enough?

That's right! A few drops of blood is all we need to test 17 biomarkers. Sounds too good to be true? Far from it...

Our sample collection card, the ADX100[1], is an alternative collection method, similar to an SST tube. Red blood cells are separated without a centrifuge, enabling the laboratory to perform tests on dry blood.

Are results accurate? Yes! We process samples in a 3rd party CLIA-certified lab. The test results have been cross-validated against standard finger prick and venous draws.

Self sample-collection

Can I really collect my own sample?

Each kit contains a sample collection card, three adjustable lancets, band-aids, sterile gauze, an alcohol pad, and instructions.

Drawing your blood sounds scary at first. Especially if it's your first time doing it. We've taken the time to make the instructions as easy to follow as possible.

Not only that, every customer can schedule a live one-on-one session with our certified phlebotomist for FREE (a person trained in collecting blood samples).

Personalized reports

Ok, my results are in. What now?

This is the best part! After processing your sample, we create a complete report for each of your 17 biomarkers.

You can then access your reports from your personal reports dashboard. Each report comes with an easy-to-understand graph and personalized insights you can use to improve each biomarker.

The dashboard lets you connect your favorite wearables to make your reports even more insightful. Improved sleep and activity scores are highly correlated with improved hormonal balance and lower inflammation in our user base.
