DexaStrong™ Advanced Lab Panel

$745.00

For some, the basics aren’t enough. If you’re navigating menopause, low testosterone, thyroid issues, GLP-1 use, or already have osteopenia/osteoporosis, the Advanced Panel goes deeper. It helps explain why bone and muscle decline may be accelerating — so you and your clinician can target interventions more effectively.

How It Works

One Labcorp blood draw. We add stress, metabolic, and nutrient markers that widen the lens beyond the Core Panel. You’ll see whether stress hormones are draining calcium, if insulin resistance or homocysteine are interfering with collagen and bone, or if nutrient deficiencies are limiting repair.

What You’ll Learn

  • Stress & Cortisol Load: Is chronic stress accelerating breakdown?

  • Metabolic Traps: Is insulin resistance or high homocysteine undermining bone matrix?

  • Nutrients & Anabolism: Are magnesium and B12 supporting mineralization and repair?

  • Hormone Clarity: Free vs. bound testosterone for a fuller anabolic picture.

What’s Included

  • Collagen Cross-Linked N-Telopeptide (NTx)

  • CBC with Differential & Platelets

  • CMP (14+ markers)

  • Cortisol (AM)

Bottom Line

The Advanced Panel is for those who want a deeper dive into the “why” behind bone and muscle loss — adding stress, nutrient, and metabolic context to guide more targeted strategies.
