Description
The Gold Panel is often referred to as the Baseline Panel or the Pre-Season Panel. This panel provides an analysis of dietary and supplement needs, training tolerance, recoverability, and competition readiness.
If this is your first ABT test, the Gold Panel is preferred because it establishes baselines by which to compare future tests. The Gold Panel is also an excellent pre-season panel to ensure you begin each season in optimal physiological shape. The Gold Panel is best tested in the morning. Fasting is helpful but not mandatory. Try to have an easy day of training the day before your blood test but let us know if you did not.
Ideal Use: Use this as your initial ABT test and/or yearly during the pre-season to establish baselines.

- Complete Blood Count with Differential
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
- Reticulocytes
