What is Muscle Building?

This test measures the levels of DHEA-S, testosterone, and insulin in the blood, three crucial biomarkers for muscle building and general physical health. DHEA-S and testosterone are hormones that contribute to muscle mass and strength, while insulin is important for the regulation of glucose metabolism and energy supply to the muscles.

Why should you test for Muscle Building?

Testing these biomarkers is useful for individuals who want to optimize their muscle building, improve their training results, or have concerns about hormonal imbalances that may affect their physical health and performance.

What does it indicate?

The levels of DHEA-S, testosterone, and insulin provide insight into hormonal health and the body's capacity for muscle building and energy management. They help determine if your body is in an optimal state for muscle growth and recovery.

What does a high level mean?

  • DHEA-S and Testosterone: High levels may indicate good conditions for muscle building, but extremely high values may also pose health risks.
  • Insulin: A high level may indicate insulin resistance, which can be a precursor to diabetes and may make it harder to build muscle mass.

What does a low level mean?

  • DHEA-S and Testosterone: Low levels may indicate a reduced capacity for muscle building, fatigue, and other health issues.
  • Insulin: A low level may indicate hypoglycemia or an inefficient energy supply to the muscles.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what people usually want to know.

How does it work from order to result?

After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.

How quickly can I get tested?

Often within a few working days. How soon you can be seen depends on how busy the location is and the type of analysis. For specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.

Do I need to book an appointment?

At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.

Do I need to fast before the test?

That depends on the test. Whether fasting is required, and from what time, is clearly stated in the instructions you receive after ordering. No surprises at the counter.

When and how do I receive my result?

It varies per analysis: from same-day to a few working days. Standard values often come back quickly; analyses that go to an external lab can take a bit longer. You get an email with a link to your digital result, including a short explanation per value.

Where can I go for collection?

We work with 1,000+ collection points across the Netherlands. After ordering you'll see which locations near you are available and you pick where you'd like to go.

“Hele fijne en snelle service”

Hele fijne en snelle service! Ik contacteerde ze ‘s nachts omdat ik zsm moest bloedprikken, ik kon die ochtend nog terecht en heb dezelfde dag mijn uitslag binnengekregen. Echt top!!

Madina ShinwariVerified

“Bloedcheckup levert”

Waar ziekenhuizen moeilijk doen om checkup te doen , komt Bloedcheckup naar boven drijven als vertrouwde partner op gebied van gezondheid. Ik ben uiterst tevreden met bloed checkup

JoaquinVerified

“Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in…”

Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in het beantwoorden van mijn vragen. Ik had ook een extra setje buizen nodig als back-up en dat was geen probleem. Ik had een groot test panel besteld, maar de resultaten waren binnen 1 week binnen. Rapport zag er netjes uit.

ErnstVerified

“Snelle en goede service”

Je hebt de spullen snel in huis en het is duidelijk wat je daarna moet doen. Ook de uitslag heb je snel in huis, ik dezelfde avond al de eerste uitslagen. Bij een bepaling ging het fout, niet eens door het bedrijf maar door het bloedafname punt en die bepaling kreeg ik gewoon vergoed, ook het geld terug stond erg snel op mijn rekening. Vragen worden ook snel beantwoord dus al met al een positieve ervaring bij Bloedcheckup.nl

“Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties…”

Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties om zelfstandig je gezondheid in het oog te houden, als sporter een must want de dokters hebben toch geen verstand van wat relevant en anders is voor sport. Ook zeer tevreden over Stijn zelf! Aangename kerel en goed bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp tijdens bestellen :D

MyronVerified

“My experience was very positive”

My experience was very positive. I needed to pass several very specific tests. They provide 24/7 customer support. They were friendly and prompt.

Olesia TaldykinaVerified

“Top!”

Snelle en makkelijke afhandeling. Duidelijke instructies en binnen anderhalve dag al resultaat binnen. Top service!

ZerinaVerified

“Amazing service!”

Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!

Limited evidence in mainstream medicine

The scientific support for this test within mainstream Dutch healthcare is limited. The test is not included in NHG/FMS standard guidelines.

Rationale for this test

Dit panel combineert drie markers (DHEA-S, testosteron, insuline) voor spieropbouw-optimalisatie. Hoewel deze markers individueel klinisch valide zijn bij specifieke medische indicaties (bijnierschorsinsufficiëntie, hypogonadisme, diabetes), is hun gecombineerde toepassing voor spieropbouw-optimalisatie bij gezonde personen niet opgenomen in Nederlandse zorgrichtlijnen. De wetenschappelijke onderbouwing voor deze specifieke combinatie als screening-panel voor sportprestatie is beperkt binnen de reguliere geneeskunde.
