Our Partnership with I-Screen
We’ve joined forces with I-Screen NZ to make athlete-focused blood testing more affordable and accessible. Through this partnership, you get:
- Access to specialised tests not usually available to the public, including Cystatin C
- A 10% discount on all I-Screen NZ testing
- Access to every test on the I-Screen website, plus exclusive athlete health panels designed by Strom NZ
This is not a sales pitch. We earn zero commission, and we don’t charge for bookings or follow-up feedback.
Our goal is to improve bloodwork access and education for New Zealand’s sporting community, from competitive bodybuilders to endurance athletes to top level combat sports competitors.
Introducing the
Strom Athlete Health – Core Panel
Our first custom panel is designed specifically for athletes engaged in high-intensity training or enhanced performance programs. This complete lot of tests comes to a price of $369NZD when ordered through us.
Else you can order at full $410NZD price at the link here.
It includes the following tests:
Liver Test
Markers: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, Total Bilirubin, Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin
Why It Matters:
Your liver processes toxins, hormones, and metabolic waste. It includes key markers of how much oxidative stress your body is managing, cell breakdown, and bile flow. Elevated liver enzymes can be an indicator for poor recovery, illness, or or PED related strain.
Cholesterol Test
Markers: Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, HDL Ratio
Why It Matters:
LDL cholesterol often rises in androgen-enhanced athletes, amplifying oxidative stress damage and increasing cardiovascular risk. Tracking lipid balance helps you make smarter dietary, training, and supplement choices to protect long-term heart health.
Full Blood Count
Markers: Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils
Why It Matters:
Red blood cells (RBC) can rise significantly in athletes using performance enhancers, impacting blood viscosity and cardiovascular strain. White blood cell (WBC) counts reflect immune function, helping identify stress, infection, or inflammation.
Cystatin C
Markers:
Cystatin C, eGFR (based on Cystatin C)
Why It Matters:
Creatinine can be misleading in strength athletes, those with high muscle tissue, low body fat, or those using creatine and astragalus supplements. All of these factors can change creatinine levels with no relevance to kidney function. Cystatin C is less affected by muscle mass, training, or supplementation, giving a clearer, more reliable measure of kidney function.
This test is not publically available on I-Screen but is through request via partnership.
