What we analyze
Your biomarkers are more than just numbers. They give you a glimpse into how well your body is operating. Explore every blood marker MAZU reads from your Indian lab report — organized by what they actually mean in your real life.
Energy & Fatigue 8
BIOMARKER
WHAT IT REVEALS
Hemoglobin (Hb)
Oxygen-carrying capacity
For you: Low Hb is the most common reason Indians feel chronically tired — especially women due to menstruation and vegetarians due to low iron.
Ferritin
Iron storage
For you: Can be low even when hemoglobin looks normal. Most missed marker in routine checkups.
Vitamin B12
Nerve & energy
For you: 75% of Indian vegetarians are deficient. Causes fatigue, brain fog, tingling.
Vitamin D (25-OH)
Energy & immunity
For you: 70%+ of urban Indians are deficient despite all the sun. Shows up as fatigue, muscle aches.
TSH (Thyroid)
Thyroid function
For you: A sluggish thyroid is a common hidden cause of unexplained tiredness, weight gain, and feeling cold.
Diabetes Risk 6
BIOMARKER
WHAT IT REVEALS
HbA1c
3-month avg blood sugar
For you: The single most important diabetes marker. Indians develop diabetes at lower BMIs than Westerners.
Fasting Blood Glucose
Current sugar level
For you: A snapshot of your blood sugar right now.
Postprandial Glucose
After-meal response
For you: Especially important for Indian diets high in rice and roti.
Fasting Insulin
Insulin resistance
For you: Insulin resistance starts 10-15 years before diabetes — catching it early means you can reverse it.
HOMA-IR Index
Resistance score
For you: Earliest warning sign of metabolic dysfunction. Most labs don't calculate this — MAZU does it automatically.
Heart Health 12
BIOMARKER
WHAT IT REVEALS
LDL Cholesterol
"Bad" cholesterol
For you: Indians have premature heart disease at the world's highest rates. MAZU uses stricter Indian thresholds.
HDL Cholesterol
"Good" cholesterol
For you: Indians genetically tend to have lower HDL — making lifestyle factors even more important.
Triglycerides
Blood fats from carbs
For you: Often from refined carbs, sugar, alcohol — not dietary fat. Common with Indian diets.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)
True particle count
For you: The single best predictor of heart-attack risk — better than LDL alone.
Lipoprotein(a) — Lp(a)
Genetic heart risk
For you: Genetic. Indians have higher Lp(a) than most populations — a hidden reason for the heart-attack epidemic.
hs-CRP
Arterial inflammation
For you: Heart attacks happen due to inflammation, not just cholesterol.
Hair & Skin 7
BIOMARKER
WHAT IT REVEALS
Ferritin (Hair)
Iron stores for hair
For you: Should be above 70 for healthy hair, not just above the lab's "low" threshold.
Vitamin D (Skin)
Skin repair
For you: Low D shows up as dull skin, slow wound healing, worsened acne.
Zinc
Skin regeneration
For you: Critical for clear skin, hair strength, wound healing.
Thyroid panel
Hair fall driver
For you: Biggest unrecognized cause of hair loss in Indian women.
Weight & Metabolism 9
BIOMARKER
WHAT IT REVEALS
Fasting Insulin
Fat storage hormone
For you: High insulin = stored fat. Why willpower alone often fails.
Cortisol
Stress & belly fat
For you: Chronic stress raises cortisol, drives belly fat in Indian professionals.
Liver enzymes (ALT, AST)
Fatty liver risk
For you: Indians have one of the world's highest fatty liver rates. Makes weight loss extremely difficult.
Gut Health 5
BIOMARKER
WHAT IT REVEALS
Albumin/Globulin Ratio
Inflammation balance
For you: Early warning sign for gut-related inflammation.
hs-CRP
Gut inflammation
For you: High reading without infection often points to gut issues.
Stress & Hormones 6
BIOMARKER
WHAT IT REVEALS
Cortisol (Morning)
Stress hormone
For you: Either elevated (early stress) or depleted (burnout). Very different fixes.
Testosterone
Energy & vitality
For you: Falling testosterone increasingly common in Indian men under 40.
Nutrition 11
BIOMARKER
WHAT IT REVEALS
Vitamin D (25-OH)
Sunshine vitamin
For you: The most common deficiency in urban India.
Vitamin B12
Vegetarian marker
For you: Vegetarians need supplementation — period.
Folate (B9)
Red cell production
For you: Especially important for women planning pregnancy.
Magnesium
300+ functions
For you: Involved in sleep, muscle relaxation, blood sugar control.
Total Protein
Overall nutrition
For you: Indians, especially vegetarians, often underconsume protein.
Derived biomarkers: MAZU calculates clinically validated ratios like HOMA-IR, LDL/HDL, and Iron Saturation from your raw lab values — standard tools used by clinicians worldwide.
