Why ApoB

The cholesterol number your regular panel leaves out

If you've been reading about heart health, you've probably seen ApoB come up. Here's the short version.

What it measures

Cholesterol moves through your blood inside tiny particles. A standard test measures how much cholesterol those particles are carrying. ApoB counts the particles themselves. That's the number that matters, because it's the particles that get stuck in artery walls.

Why the standard test can miss it

Two people can get the same LDL result and have very different particle counts. The standard panel can't tell them apart. ApoB can.

What the test is like

One tube of blood at any LifeLabs, no fasting. If you've had a cholesterol test before, this is the same thing without the empty stomach.

Questions

Do I need a doctor or a referral?
No referral and no family doctor needed. You complete a short intake, and a licensed clinician reviews it and orders the test if it's appropriate for you.
Do I need to fast?
No. ApoB is not meaningfully affected by a recent meal, so you can go in at any time of day.
Why can't my doctor just order it?
Often they can. Many people come to us because they have no family doctor, or want a direct route to measure it regularly without scheduling a doctor appointment each time.
Where is my health data stored?
In Canada. Your health data is never sold, and you can delete it whenever you like.
Which provinces do you serve?
British Columbia only. If you are in another province or territory, join our waitlist and we will notify you when Numeral becomes available to you.
