Description

A Comprehensive Look at Brain-Boosting Biomarkers

The Cognitive Health Panel is a targeted collection of advanced biomarkers designed to evaluate the biochemical and nutritional factors that influence brain function, memory, mood, and long-term cognitive performance.

By combining a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Boston Heart Fatty Acid Balance™, and essential micronutrient and cardiovascular markers, this panel delivers a powerful tool for identifying contributors to cognitive decline, brain fog, and neurological imbalances.

What’s Measured?

The panel includes over 35 key biomarkers related to:

  • Neuroinflammation
  • Neurovascular health
  • Nutrient-driven brain function
  • Lipid balance and fatty acid metabolism
  • Homocysteine-related cognitive risk

Biomarkers Included

Brain & Nervous System Support

  • Vitamin B12
  • 25-OH Vitamin D
  • Folate
  • Homocysteine (elevated levels associated with cognitive decline)

Fatty Acids & Inflammatory Balance

  • Omega-3 Index
  • Omega-6 Index
  • AA/EPA Ratio
  • EPA/AA Ratio
  • ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid)
  • LA (Linoleic Acid)
  • DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)
  • EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)
  • MUFA Index (Monounsaturated Fatty Acids)
  • SFA Index (Saturated Fatty Acids)
  • Trans Fat Index
  • Unsaturated/Saturated Ratio

Metabolic & Liver Markers (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel)

  • ALT, AST, ALP (liver enzymes)
  • BUN, Creatinine, eGFR (kidney function)
  • Albumin, Total Protein, Total Bilirubin
  • Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Carbon Dioxide
  • Glucose (blood sugar control)

Lipid Profile

  • Total Cholesterol
  • HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)
  • LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)
  • Triglycerides

Why Test Cognitive Biomarkers?

  • Assess risk for memory loss, brain fog, and neurodegeneration
  • Identify fatty acid imbalances that affect brain signaling
  • Detect vitamin deficiencies essential for neurotransmitter function
  • Optimize brain health through dietary and therapeutic intervention

Who Should Consider This Panel?

This test is recommended for:

  • Adults experiencing brain fog, low energy, or memory lapses
  • Patients with a family history of dementia, Alzheimer’s, or stroke
  • Individuals managing mood disorders, anxiety, or depression
  • Anyone seeking a proactive, science-based approach to long-term brain health

Sample Collection & Testing

This panel is performed through a simple blood draw. Fasting is recommended.
