It is hard to beat their prices on a direct apples to apples comparison (and I have been checking for years).
For instance, their Apo-B test is regularly $28 and on sale for $21. That is $48 less than DirectLabs.
(and no, I am not affiliated with them in anyway nor do I make any $$$ from them).

Hi Jeff,
I buy a couple of the CBC/lipid tests every year around this time, thank you for clueing me in!
If one knows that their lipid results are good, what else is to be learned from an Apo-B test?
Thanks,
Marty

Have you read the threads on Apo-B and non-HDL cholesterol?
https://www.drmcdougallforums.com/viewt ... 22&t=56785Here is a newer article on it
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaca ... ct/2786333"In this cohort study, risk of MI was best captured by the number of apoB-containing lipoproteins, independent from lipid content (cholesterol or TG) or type of lipoprotein (LDL or TG-rich). This suggests that apoB may be the primary driver of atherosclerosis and that lowering the concentration of all apoB-containing lipoproteins should be the focus of therapeutic strategies."Apo-B Is just more accurate of a measure then LDL
In Health
