What is Standard Health Screen?
This is the screen most people choose. It covers the core organ and blood markers alongside the deficiencies that turn up most often in practice.
A pharmacist goes through the whole report with you, flags anything worth repeating or referring, and answers questions about the parts that look fine as well as the parts that do not.
