Juvenalis, Biomnis’s line of functional and preventive laboratory tests, has added a new panel: LIBIDOCHECK
Sexual health is a comprehensive reflection of one’s physical, metabolic, hormonal, and psychological well-being.
Sexual dysfunction is rarely linked to a single cause. It often results from the interaction of several factors involving blood flow to the genital tissues, hormonal balance, nervous system function, the body’s inflammatory state, and energy metabolism. This holistic approach justifies conducting a targeted biological assessment to identify potentially modifiable contributing factors.
The LIBIDOCHECK Juvenalis panel was developed based on current scientific knowledge regarding the biological determinants of sexual health; it explores five major areas: endothelial function, hormonal balance, carbohydrate metabolism, low-grade inflammation, and micronutritional status.
The assessment of nutritional and metabolic parameters allows for an evaluation of the availability of essential nutrients, glucose and insulin regulation, as well as certain mechanisms involved in energy production and hormone synthesis. The assessment also includes markers of chronic inflammation and endothelial function, two factors recognized for their role in the quality of the sexual response.
Finally, hormonal analysis complements this approach by examining the key factors involved in libido, sexual motivation, and associated physiological responses.
The goal of LIBIDOCHECK is not merely to identify an isolated abnormality, but to establish a comprehensive understanding of the biological factors that may influence sexual health. This approach makes it possible to identify the most relevant areas for optimization and, when necessary, to guide nutritional, lifestyle, or medical strategies likely to sustainably improve sexual vitality and quality of life.
