About this test

Advance Bone Care is a focused blood panel for people dealing with bone and joint concerns — persistent back pain, fractures that happen too easily, or stiffness that will not settle. The panel looks at the circulating markers connected to bone metabolism, giving your doctor a picture of whether your bones are getting the calcium and vitamin support they need, or whether bone is being broken down faster than it is rebuilt.

Bone problems in Kerala are surprisingly common despite our climate — indoor lifestyles, low dietary calcium and low vitamin D all play a part. A blood-based panel is the practical first step before any bone-density imaging, because it often shows a correctable cause.

The collection takes a few minutes at your home in Trivandrum, and the report is released in the app for your doctor to review. If you take calcium tablets, thyroid medication or steroids, tell your doctor before testing — some supplements are best paused on the morning of the draw.
