Everything people ask us about measuring cellular health in Pakistan. Still not sure? The two-minute check is the easiest place to start.
Getting started in Pakistan
Yes. Global Wellness Pakistan is the first service in the country to offer intracellular NAD+ testing. You collect a small finger-prick blood sample at home and it is analysed in a CLIA-certified laboratory. The standalone test is available through our partner clinics in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, and to members through our membership programme.
Standalone tests are offered through our partner clinics. Use the Find a Clinic page to see participating clinics in your city. If there is no clinic near you yet, our membership programme sends a kit to your door.
No. The whole point is that there is no clinic visit and no venous blood draw. You take a small finger-prick dried blood spot at home in about five minutes and post it back in a prepaid envelope.
The tests
A cellular health check measures markers inside your cells, such as intracellular NAD+ and the minerals held in your red blood cells, rather than only what is circulating in your serum. Because most of these markers sit inside the cell, a cellular measurement reflects how your body actually produces energy and manages stress, which a standard blood panel does not capture.
A standard blood test measures NAD+ in serum, which is only 5 to 10 percent of the body's total and is not metabolically active. An intracellular test measures the 90 to 95 percent inside the cell, where energy production, DNA repair and sirtuin activity happen. A normal serum result can mask a genuine intracellular deficiency.
29 biomarkers across six panels, including magnesium, zinc and selenium inside your red blood cells, active B12, vitamin D, your Omega-3 Index and fatty-acid balance, amino acids, and an iron store marker. These include reserves a routine hospital panel does not report.
Global Wellness measures cellular and nutritional markers associated with how your body is ageing, including intracellular NAD+ and 29 nutrition biomarkers. Together they give you a measurable picture of your cellular health that you can track over time, rather than a single guess.
Results & accuracy
Around 7 to 10 working days from when your sample reaches the laboratory. You receive your result benchmarked against age-matched ranges and explained in plain language.
In CLIA-certified laboratories using validated methods. CLIA certification means the assay has been checked for accuracy and reproducibility under recognised laboratory standards.
No. Our tests are for wellness and informational purposes. They measure markers and give you insight, but they do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Always discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
Pricing & clinics
Standalone tests are sold through our partner clinics, and each clinic sets its own pricing for its patients, so the price is confirmed at the clinic. Membership details and pricing are shared when you register your interest, so we can match the right programme to what you want to measure.
Yes. Companies in Pakistan can offer cellular health testing to their leadership and teams through our corporate programmes: an executive tier, on-site screening days, and anonymised organisation-level insight for HR. Individual results always remain private to each employee. See the For Companies page or send a corporate enquiry.
Yes. Clinics can offer intracellular NAD+ and nutrition testing with no new equipment or lab setup. We supply the kits, run the analysis and return clinician-ready reports, and you set your own patient pricing. Get in touch through the contact page to become a partner.
