Know your Urine Color. Know your health.
Test your Urine Color and 100+ other biomarkers in a single blood draw.
Urine color is the most basic visual observation in a urinalysis. Normal urine ranges from pale straw to deep amber, with the shade driven mostly by how concentrated it is. Very pale, almost clear urine usually means you are well hydrated, while dark yellow points to dehydration. Unusual colors can be meaningful: red or pink may indicate blood, brown can suggest liver problems or muscle breakdown, and bright or unusual hues often come from foods (like beets), B vitamins, or medications. Color is a quick first clue that is always interpreted alongside the rest of the panel.
Urine Color isn't sold on its own. It comes in a routine urinalysis, about $45. A fuller workup adds Vitamin D ($75), hs-CRP ($69), ApoB ($50), and ApoA1 ($50). You can test Urine Color and 100 other biomarkers for $190 as part of an Empirical membership.
Empirical is FSA/HSA eligible, so you can pay with pre-tax dollars. Fast for 8-12 hours beforehand for the most accurate lipid and metabolic results, and expect results in days rather than weeks.
