Osteoporosis Test

Only for Germany and Austria

• We would like to point out that these tests and the shipping processes are optimized for Germany and Austria and are prepaid.
• Samples must be delivered to the German laboratory within 4 days. This cannot be guaranteed for samples shipped from other countries!
• Orders from countries other than Germany and Austria are therefore at your own risk. In this case, we only accept the payment method "Prepayment (directly to us)", as customers cannot then cancel the purchase, e.g., because the sample arrived at the laboratory unusable through their own fault. Purchases made with any other payment methods that customers could unlawfully reverse will be immediately canceled and refunded.
• You can find more information about this from the manufacturer!

Test for the early detection of signs of osteoporosis

In collaboration with the osteolabs GmbH laboratory in Kiel, we offer a test for the early detection of osteoporosis. The osteolabs osteoporosis test is straightforward and quick, as it does not require X-rays and determines the calcium levels in the bones using a single urine sample. This allows you to check your osteoporosis status conveniently from home, without being exposed to radiation.

In addition to the hormonal changes during the menopause and certain medical conditions, 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 declines in women going through the menopause, this has a negative impact on bone metabolism, as oestrogens slow down the activity of the cells that break down bone. Incidentally, women who had their first period late as teenagers or who entered the menopause early are particularly susceptible to osteoporosis. Women who have never given birth or who have had their ovaries removed also have an increased risk of osteoporosis. Unfortunately, osteoporosis only becomes apparent once it has already caused noticeable damage to the skeleton: this can lead to a hunched back, such as in the case of a ‘widow’s hump’, or to painful bone fractures. Men can also develop osteoporosis, although this usually only occurs later in life, often at the age of 70.

Don’t wait for warning signs! Have a risk assessment for osteoporosis carried out as soon as the menopause begins. The earlier a dangerous decline in bone density can be diagnosed, the greater the chances of reducing the risk of the condition through treatment and preventive measures. The osteolabs osteoporosis test is a highly accurate, radiation-free and reliable early-warning system for your bone health. According to research by Clinical Research Center Kiel GmbH, the osteolabs osteoporosis test can identify osteoporosis more reliably than the DXA X-ray procedure. *

The test result is provided to you alongside a detailed explanation, further measurements and recommendations for action, as well as in a colour-coded diagram, as shown in the sample report. At a glance, it shows you whether and to what extent a risk of osteoporosis has been identified in your case. To assess your risk of osteoporosis, you can also use the Osteoporosis Risk Questionnaire available in our downloads section.

Making a diagnosis

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

• 1 self-assessment questionnaire 1 urine collection cup
• 1 protective container with a yellow cap
• 1 green UrinMonovette with a yellow tip (Note: The UrinMonovette is contained within the yellow protective container)
• 1 postal envelope
