For American women who are done guessing

Blood-smart wellness for women who are done guessing.

Your body has receipts. We help you read them. Compare at-home tests, decode the biomarkers your provider just glanced at, and stop spending on supplements you didn't need.

Educational only. Not medical advice. Always speak with a qualified healthcare provider about symptoms, lab results or treatment decisions.

What are you trying to understand?

Start with a symptom, a system or a curiosity. We'll route you to the tests and the plain-English explainers that actually answer it.

Popular U.S. test categories

Where most American women start.

Each comparison covers price, what's included, insurance and HSA/FSA eligibility, physician-reviewed results, and how fast you get answers.

We score every test on the same six-criterion framework: coverage, lab accreditation, reporting quality, clinician layer, sample method and price per panel. No paid placement. Read the methodology →

Decode biomarkers

Your blood work tells the truth. We translate it.

Twenty-two biomarker explainers in plain English. What each one measures, what the ranges generally mean, and what to discuss with your healthcare provider. Educational only — never diagnosis.

Where does your number actually sit?

Drag the marker. Most American women have been told their labs are "in range" and left to figure out the rest. "In range" is not the same as "where you'll feel well." Here's what the zones actually mean.

Ferritin, plain English.
ng / mL
22 ng/mL
01530100200300+
Deficient Generally considered iron-deficient. Worth clinical follow-up.
Borderline "In range" on many labs, but often correlates with symptoms.
Optimal The range most clinicians consider comfortable for women.
Elevated Can reflect overload — or inflammation. Context matters.
At 22 ng/mL, you're in the deficient zone. Most lab reports will call this "in range" because the cutoff is set around 15. But functional iron deficiency — symptoms despite an "in range" number — begins well above the lab cutoff for many women. A reading like this is worth a conversation with your provider.

The Heme review framework

What we actually score against.

Every product on the site is scored against the same seven criteria, by editors trained on the framework. No brand has paid for placement. No score is edited to favour an advertiser. If a product reformulates, we re-score it.

01IngredientsForm, bioavailability and absorption — not just what's on the label, but whether the body can use it.
02Dose transparencyElemental quantities disclosed. No proprietary blends hiding individual amounts.
03Third-party testingNamed certifications (NSF, USP, Informed Choice) with public certificates of analysis.
04Claims qualityMarketing language sits honestly within what the formulation can do. No medical overreach.
05Price per serveCost relative to formulation. Premium pricing only when it's earned.
06Real-world usabilityTolerability, capsule size, taste — whether women actually keep taking it.
07Affiliate disclosureCommercial relationships disclosed on every review page. Editorial firewall intact.

A statement from the editor

The wellness internet runs on women's confusion. Heme runs on women's clarity.

Most women's wellness content is invented by people who never had to make a single decision inside a woman's body. We treat readers as adults. We publish methodology. We disclose what we earn. We refuse the placements that don't meet the framework. And when a brand pays for a review, they pay for the framework, not the verdict.
