High cholesterol often doesn’t show any symptoms, but it can silently increase the risk of serious health issues, like heart disease and strokes. That’s why regular cholesterol tests are essential for staying on top of your health.

A cholesterol test measures the levels of different fats in your blood, including LDL (often known as bad cholesterol), HDL (often known as good cholesterol), and triglycerides. These numbers provide valuable insight into your cardiovascular health and help identify potential risks before they turn into bigger problems. The test can also help determine your “heart age,” which gives you an idea of how your heart health compares to others of the same age.

At Amiry and Gilbride, we make it easy for you to take control of your health with quick and convenient cholesterol testing services. Our tests only take about 10 minutes and can be bought in store to be done from the comfort of your own home or if it would be more convenient, we can easily do it for you in one of our pharmacies. Whether you’re at home or visiting us in-store, it’s easy to get the insights you need to stay healthy.

Our tests help you:

• Detect early signs of high cholesterol and related health risks.
• Monitor your progress if you’re already managing your cholesterol levels.
• Get tailored advice on lifestyle changes or treatments to improve your heart health.
• Find out your heart age.

When should I get tested?

Our cholesterol tests are recommended for adults starting at age 20, and every 4-6 years thereafter. Those with a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or risk factors like smoking or obesity should test more often. People over 40 or with existing health conditions should monitor their cholesterol regularly.

Taking proactive steps now can make a big difference in the long run. Visit Amiry and Gilbride Pharmacy today to book your cholesterol test and get peace of mind about your health.
