AgeCheck Woman
The AgeCheck Woman's anti-ageing check-up explores the effects of ageing in women by measuring the biomarkers most involved in the nutritional, hormonal and metabolic side of ageing.
What is AgeCheck Woman?
Ageing is responsible for physical, physiological and biological changes in women. It is important to detect the first signs of these variations in order to ensure that they are properly taken care of.
The AgeCheck Woman anti-ageing panel explores the effects of ageing in women by measuring the biomarkers most involved in the nutritional, hormonal and metabolic side of ageing.
What can we expect from AgeCheck Woman?
Aging is often accompanied by inconveniences that are reflected in biological variations such as vitamin deficiencies, digestive difficulties, sleep or memory disorders, etc. Latent candidiasis, an unbalanced and/or deficient diet and chronic fatigue can be the cause of biological dysfunctions and may be accompanied by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress or dysbiosis.
Complementary to the “classic” hormone check-up routinely carried out by general practitioners or gynaecologists, the biomarkers present in AgeCheck Woman will enable your practitioner to help you regain your well-being and vitality.
Who is AgeCheck Woman profile for?
AgeCheck Woman is intended for all women who are concerned about their metabolic balance and wish to prevent any signs of premature ageing.
Digestive problems, skin dryness, and physical or psychological fatigue are all disturbances that AgeCheck can help to resolve, by allowing an appropriate rebalancing of the body’s vital functions.

More information on AgeCheck Woman
Why does AgeCheck Woman include these parameters specifically?
AgeCheck Woman brings together test parameters that can evaluate basic dysfunctions that may be encountered in a patient who wishes to optimise her health and well-being and minimise the effects of ageing. The following tests are performed:
- Ultra-sensitive CRP, an elevation of which indicates a low-grade inflammation;
- Ferritin, a measure of the body’s iron stores and an indicator of possible high-grade inflammation;
- IGF-1 (somatomedin) and DHEA sulphate-with age. A decrease in levels of these often corresponds to a real symptomatology (asthenia, libido disorders, mood disorders, etc.);
- Vitamin D, a significant test parameter due to its multiple implications (bone/joint health as well as immunity, inflammation, mood, cognition, etc.);
- Free T3, representing the biologically active form of thyroid hormones, the level of which depends closely on the conversion of free T4, itself conditioned by a sufficient quantity of other factors including, in particular, iron and vitamin D, which are present in this balance;
- Coenzyme Q10, a fundamental antioxidant of the body and protector against free radical attacks;
- Homocysteine, a major player in the methylation processes essential to cellular metabolism,the level reflecting a potential deficiency in vitamins B6, B9 or B12; and,
- Candida serology, which can point to the existence of a candidiasis which, often at low levels, disrupts the body’s immune function and is present alongside dysbiosis or repeated infections.
