1 Office Tel. : Website: Test Report Summary of Test Results Biomarker Test Result Reference range Implication Remark Cortisol 0.59 ng/ml 0.42 ng/ml-5.02 ng/ml Around 90% of samples have their Normal Stress Biomarker cortisol value lower than 5.02 ng/ml Cotinine 0.00 ng/ml Only detected when the patient get Normal Smoking/Second Hand contact with Smoking/Second Hand Smoking Smoking Folic Acid 0.00 ng/ml Normally samples less than 2 ng/ml have deficiency. Low Stroke Folate 0.97 ng/ml Normally samples less than 2 ng/ml Low Stroke have deficiency. Insulin 0.00 miu/l Too high: miu/l No Test Diabetic Health related hormone Metformin 0.74 ng/ml Only detected when the patient intake metformin Normal Diabetic drug Progesterone 0.00 ng/ml Above 1 ng/ml for pregnant Normal Hormone woman TMAO 0.16 ng/ml Around 90% of samples have their Normal Heart Disease Biomarker TMAO level lower than 7.26 ng/ml.

2 Stress Health Marker Cortisol level Cortisol level is an indicator of your body s response to stress - higher levels of cortisol can indicate risk of diseases, including obesity. Cortisol is a steroidal hormone that is produced from the adrenal gland and released in the saliva when someone is found under stress. Its level can be altered by managing stress, daily diet and regular exercise. Your latest Cortisol level record at :00 : 0.00 (ng/ml) Time Cortisol (ng/ml) 14:

3 Smoking Status Cotinine Levels Cotinine is the primary metabolic product of nicotine, 80% of the cotinine is metabolized by enzymes in liver. It can be found in various body fluid, such as urine, saliva and bloodserums etc. With the characteristic of easily diffusion into bloodstream and the feature of long half -life period 10 more hours longer comparing with nicotine, cotinine is allowed to be the perfect biomarker for measuring the exposure of cigarette smoke like second -hand smoking. It is also showed that the cotinine concentration detected in passive smoker is much higher than smoker. Thus, people who work in public areas that easily expose to smokes or tobaccos such as bars, industries and restaurant are more likely to get a higher cotinine concentration. Your latest cotinine level record at :00 : 0.00 (ng/ml) Time Cotinine (ng/ml) 14:

4 Health Risk Folic Acid Levels Folic acid is the synthetic form found in vitamin supplements and fortified foods. It can be converted to folate. It was said in our system has 80% of folate while only 8% folic acid. However, when people consume large amounts of folic acid (more than 400 ug/day, a value recommended to pregnant women) through vitamins and other fortified foods, the body cannot convert all the folic acid to folate and elevated levels of un-metabolized folic acid ultimately enters the blood stream. The Excessive amount of folic acid in our systems has been linked to cancer. However, moderate folic acid was shown to help prevent the risk of developing neural tube defects in infants. Your latest Folic Acid level record at :00 : 0.00 (ng/ml) Time (ng/ml) 14: should not be used as a substitute for professional diagnosis and treatment. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any healthcare decisions for guidance about a specific medical condition. enano disclaims responsibility, and shall not be liable for any damages, loss

5 Health Risk Folate Levels Folate refers to natural forms that occur in the food. It is a crucial nutrient for synthesizing DNA, and therefore for cell division. Many studies also support the finding that appropriate folate levels (400 ug/day) during pregnancy may confer protection against neural tube defects (NTDs). Folates are important for maintaining good cognitive function throughout life. According to recent researches, increased intake of folates from food can lower the risk of stroke. Food with highest folate levels include dark green leafy vegetables, beans, poultry and citrus fruits. Your latest Folate level record at :00 : 0.97 (ng/ml) Time (ng/ml) 14: should not be used as a substitute for professional diagnosis and treatment. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any healthcare decisions for guidance about a specific medical condition. enano disclaims responsibility, and shall not be liable for any damages, loss

6 Unit 623, 6/F, Biotech Centre 2, Diabetic drug - Metformin level Metformin is a drug used to treat high blood sugar levels caused by Type 2 diabetes. This drug reduces the high glucose levels made by your liver, increasing the effect of insulin. Insulin is a hormone which helps remove extra sugar from your blood, reducing blood sugar levels. If the metformin level is too low, please consider shifting the timings of the drug intake so that you are taking it with your food. Your latest Metformin level record at :00 : 0.31 (ng/ml) Time Metformin (ng/ml) 14:

7 Unit 623, 6/F, Biotech Centre 2, Pregnancy Hormone - Progesterone Levels Progesterone is a natural female hormone that causes the uterine lining to thicken. Insufficient progesterone can result in premature birth, therefore it is extremely important to detect the issue in order to prevent early birth. If your test results showed low levels of progesterone, you can manage your diet by eating foods which contain zinc, vitamin c and magnesium. Furthermore, reducing stress will have a positive impact as the stress hormone cortisol reduces progesterone levels. Alternatively, this issue can be resolved by discussing hormone therapy with a specialist. Your latest Progesterone level record at :00 : 0.00 (ng/ml) Time Progesterone (ng/ml) 14:

8 Cardiac Health Marker TMAO level Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) level is an indicator of cardiovascular wellness of a person the higher the TMAO level, the more susceptible you are to accumulation of cholesterol in the artery wall, which indicates higher risk of heart disease such as heart attack or stroke. TMAO is a small molecules produced from bacteria in intestine into our bloodstream that related to blockage of cardiac vessels. If your test results show that your TMAO level is in the higher percentile, then it can be alternated by managing daily diet by eating foods that are low fats, contain less to no sugar, and dairy free. Your latest TMAO level record at :00 : 0.16 (ng/ml) Time TMAO (ng/ml) 14:
