Early Biomarker Detection Advantage
- Molecular You detects early disease stages by tracking biomarkers before symptoms appear.
- The body maintains homeostasis masking damage until too late for easy recovery.
Tracing Biomarker Paths Retroactively
- Retrospective analysis helps Molecular You trace biomarker changes leading to disease.
- Multiple biomarker tracks improve predictive accuracy for chronic conditions.
Extensive Biomarker Panel
- Over 250 dynamic biomarkers including metabolites and proteins are tracked.
- Plans exist to expand this panel to over 800 biomarkers within the year.
