Labwork Protocols

for my plan, I’ve been getting monthly bloodwork done to track progress and to ensure nothing is going awry. My usually monthly lab work has been the Marek Diagnostics Organ Function Panel (CBC, CMP, UA, GGT, and Cystsin-C with eGFR) plus a rotating set of additional panels like lipids, vitamin and mineral status. I do hormones and thyroid roughly every quarter.

My question to the group is two part:

1) what’s the ideal “rinse out” period for using peptides/supplements before the test? I have a “clean” baseline, so do I want to compare all bloodwork to that, giving a couple days of peptides to wash out, or do I want a “working” status of what my system is like under load. I know certain supplements like Niacin can sway tests. I’m most interested in potential effects of Slu and 5amino1mq.

2) are there any other tests I should add to the monthly rotation to track progress/catch issues? Or am I testing too frequently?

Thanks and I appreciate all the awesome info everyone (especially Anthony) is sharing.
