Take Control of Your Heart Health with Our Lipid Profile Basic Test
We understand that thinking about cholesterol and heart health can be worrying. Many South Africans live with undetected high cholesterol levels that silently increase their risk of heart disease and stroke. At Oracle Genomics, we’re here to provide you with clear, accurate insights into your cardiovascular health, giving you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about your wellbeing.
Understanding Your Lipid Profile Test
Your lipid profile is like a comprehensive report card for your heart health. This simple blood test measures several key components that directly impact your cardiovascular risk:
- Total Cholesterol: The overall amount of cholesterol in your blood
- Triglycerides: The most common type of fat in your body
- HDL Cholesterol: The “good” cholesterol that helps remove bad cholesterol
- LDL Cholesterol: The “bad” cholesterol that can build up in arteries
- VLDL Cholesterol: Very low-density lipoprotein that carries triglycerides
- Non-HDL Cholesterol: All the “bad” cholesterol combined
Using advanced spectrophotometry technology, we provide highly accurate results you can trust for making important health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Lipid Profile Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience any of these situations:
- Family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
- Overweight or obese with concerns about cardiovascular health

- Poor dietary habits including high-fat, high-sugar foods
- Smoking or excessive alcohol consumption
- Diabetes or high blood pressure diagnosis
- Age 40+ without recent cholesterol screening
- Planning to start a new exercise or diet program
Early detection through regular lipid profiling can be life-saving for many South Africans.
