Osteoporosis test

Test for the early detection of signs of osteoporosis

In co-operation with the osteolabs GmbH laboratory in Kiel, we offer you a test for the early detection of osteoporosis. The osteoporosis test from osteolabs is uncomplicated and quick, as it does not require an X-ray and determines the calcium ratios in the bones using a single urine sample. This allows you to check your osteoporosis status from the comfort of your own home, without any exposure to radiation.

In addition to hormonal changes during the menopause and illnesses, there are numerous other factors that can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis. In around 70 per cent of cases, hormones are responsible for brittle bones. When oestrogen production decreases in menopausal women, this has a negative impact on bone metabolism, as oestrogen slows down the activity of bone-degrading cells. Women who had their first menstruation late as teenagers or who entered the menopause early are particularly susceptible to osteoporosis. Women who have not had children or who have had their ovaries removed also have an increased risk of osteoporosis. Unfortunately, osteoporosis only becomes apparent when it has already caused noticeable damage to the skeleton: This can lead to a hunched back like a widow's hump or painful fractures. Men also develop osteoporosis, but this usually only occurs at an older age, often at the age of 70.

Don't wait for the warning signs! Carry out a risk assessment for osteoporosis as early as the onset of the menopause. The earlier it is possible to diagnose a dangerous drop in bone density, the greater the chances of reducing the risk of the disease through treatment and preventative measures. The osteoporosis test from osteolabs is a highly precise, radiation-free and reliable early warning system for your bone health. According to studies by the Clinical Research Centre Kiel GmbH, the osteoporosis test from osteolabs can identify osteoporosis more reliably than the DXA X-ray procedure. *

In addition to a detailed explanation, further measurements and recommendations for action, the test result is also made available to you in a colour illustration, as shown in the sample findings. It shows you at a glance whether and to what extent you have been diagnosed with impending osteoporosis. You can also use the osteoporosis risk questionnaire from our download area to determine your osteoporosis risk.

Make a diagnosis

The results form the basis for a customised therapy, which should only be carried out after consultation with a doctor or therapist.

• 1 self-disclosure form 1 urine beaker
• 1 protective container with yellow cap
• 1 yellow-tipped green urine monovette (note: the urine monovette is in the yellow protective container)
• 1 envelope

How does the ordering process work?

For Germany and Austria only

We would like to point out that these tests and the shipping procedures are optimised and prepaid for Germany and Austria. Orders from further afield are problematic because the perishable biological samples may only be in transit for a limited time (maximum 4 days). Customers from Switzerland or other EU countries can of course try it at their own risk, but if the test fails, we decline any responsibility or reimbursement. You can find more information on this from the manufacturer!
