Elo Health:

When it comes to supplements, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to figure out exactly what you need and what is going to help you the most.

Elo finds the right supplements by taking into account your blood biomarker values, health history, and fitness goals to determine the optimal supplement formulation just for you.

The biomarker test is shipped right to your door and is simple and easy to take at home. Once you send it back, they analyze your blood biomarkers. You’ll get a full panel profile of your deficiencies, strengths and levels that need to be improved.

Once you have your results, they set you up with a registered dietician to go over your results and explain what each biomarker means. Then your custom supplements are delivered straight to your door every month, divided into convenient daily packets and evolve as your biomarkers and health data change.

If you’d like to give Elo a try, you can get a free blood biomarker test (a $200 value) by going to elo.health and entering code RTTT.
