The VAP® (Vertical Auto Profile lab test is the most accurate and comprehensive cholesterol test available today, measuring 15 separate components of blood cholesterol as opposed to three in a standard test. This more comprehensive test can identify more than twice the number of lipid abnormalities (the #1 risk factor of heart disease) than the standard four-component test, and is the only cholesterol test to identify markers for Metabolic Syndrome, a precursor for diabetes.
Risks of both Heart Disease and Diabetes can be reduced with the right preventative treatments, which is why a more accurate diagnosis is critical. The VAP cholesterol test is the first cholesterol profile to comply with updated recommendations calling for more accurate, direct low-density lipoprotein (LDL) measurement which is unaffected by triglycerides. Included in Forbes.com’s list of “Ten Ways to Live Longer” and named one of “Five Tests Worth Paying For” by the Wall Street Journal. The VAP Cholesterol Test is available through our site at a discounted price.
