Questions about this panel
We have 25+ partner locations across Germany. After signing up, you can choose your preferred location and book an appointment directly through our platform. See all locations at anivahealth.com/locations.
Your samples are processed by our certified medical partner laboratory in Germany, which follows strict quality controls and is regularly audited. All results are medically validated by a medical director and specialist in laboratory medicine to ensure the highest accuracy and reliability. For specific diagnostics like omega fatty acid profiles, samples are sent to specialized partner labs because there are fewer than 5 labs in Germany that test omega fatty acids.
Aniva works with a certified German partner lab that complies with GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and is consistently audited. There may be a small natural variance on each marker, which is standard for any laboratory. If a blood marker is significantly off, we retest it or connect you with a doctor. Our comprehensive testing is 7x more extensive than a standard medical checkup, providing a much more complete picture of your health.

It depends on what you want to test and how often. We'll advise through the action plan what makes sense — for most people that's 1–2 tests per year. Follow-up tests happen at one of our partner practices (venous blood draw), typically the one you visited the first time. Your action plan will recommend which markers to retest based on what's critical to monitor, what changed in your last test, and what needs extra attention.
The action plan and biomarker overview is designed to be understandable without medical training, and every marker comes with a personalized recommendation. We also offer optional consultation calls with a physician as a paid add-on if you want deeper clinical context.
Stop guessing. Test what matters.
Every biomarker in this panel, one draw, each result explained with a personalized action plan.
