Checks your Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), a more precise marker of cardiovascular risk than standard cholesterol. It counts the actual number of harmful particles in your blood, increasingly used for accurate heart risk assessment.
Your results delivered as a complete pathology report, with reference ranges and clinical context for every marker. Easy to read yourself or hand straight to your GP.
The same pathology report format used by hospitals and GPs across Australia.
Every result is shown alongside the normal range. Abnormal results are highlighted in red so you spot them straight away.
Delivered privately within 24-48 hours of testing. Yours to keep, share or print.
See at a glance which markers are healthy and which need attention.
Calculated free testosterone is below the lower reference limit. May be associated with symptoms of low testosterone including fatigue, low libido, and reduced energy.
ApoB counts the actual number of atherogenic particles in your blood. Each LDL, VLDL, IDL and Lp(a) particle carries one ApoB molecule. The total ApoB count predicts heart attack risk more accurately than LDL alone.
LDL measures the cholesterol carried inside particles. ApoB counts the particles themselves. Two people with the same LDL can have very different ApoB and very different actual cardiovascular risk.
Top-tier longevity doctors now treat ApoB as the primary cardiovascular risk number. Standard cholesterol panels miss this distinction.
ApoB tells you the particle count. Lp(a) tells you the genetic risk. Together, the two markers give you the modern cardiovascular read leading longevity practitioners use.
Family history, elevated LDL, training hard, longevity focused. The marker that changes how you read your overall lipid panel.

The Apolipoprotein B Test measures ApoB, a protein found on the harmful, artery-clogging particles in your blood. As an apolipoprotein b test it is increasingly recognised as a more precise marker of cardiovascular risk than standard cholesterol, because it counts the actual number of risk-carrying particles rather than just the cholesterol they carry.
Two people can have similar LDL cholesterol but very different ApoB, and the ApoB figure often tracks true risk more closely. This makes it a valuable test for anyone serious about understanding their heart risk, particularly if they have a family history or want to go beyond a basic cholesterol panel.
For the standard lipid picture, the Cholesterol Blood Test covers HDL, LDL and triglycerides, and the Lipoprotein A Blood Test adds an inherited risk marker. You can also create your own blood test.
The Apolipoprotein B Test needs no GP referral and no appointment, so you can get your blood test online and walk into any of 3,300+ collection centres across Australia, with results in 24 to 48 hours. For more on cardiovascular risk, Healthdirect Australia is a useful reference.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB):
ApoB is the main structural protein found in atherogenic lipoproteins — including LDL, VLDL, IDL, and lipoprotein(a). Each of these particles carries one ApoB molecule, meaning the ApoB level directly reflects the total number of cholesterol-carrying particles that can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries. Elevated ApoB indicates an increased number of LDL and related particles, which are strongly linked to a higher risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Measuring ApoB provides a more precise assessment of heart disease risk than standard LDL cholesterol alone.
