A laboratory blood test with simple at-home collection which checks the levels of cholesterol in the body for good health.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance known as a lipid found in the blood. It plays an important role in how the cells in the body work. Too much cholesterol in the blood can have a negative effect on health and increase the risk of heart disease or a stroke. This test measures the levels of both good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol.
