Mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
Average red blood cell size. Helps classify anemia as microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic.
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) Biomarker Test
MCV measures the average size of your red blood cells, reported in femtoliters. It is part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and calculated from hematocrit and red blood cell count. Low MCV (microcytosis) signals small cells, often from iron deficiency or thalassemia traits.
High MCV (macrocytosis) signals large cells, often from vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, alcohol use, liver disease, hypothyroidism, reticulocytosis, or medications. Because red cells live about 120 days,MCV shifts gradually as new cells enter circulation, making it reliable for tracking trends. Interpreted with hemoglobin, hematocrit, RDW, MCH, and MCHC, MCV helps pinpoint root causes of anemia and clarify oxygen transport efficiency.

A cycle built for lifelong progress
Each pass deepens the picture, tracks your trajectory, and makes the next recommendation smarter than the last.
If you are in Netherlands, please check the extra step regarding a kit you will receive before going to the lab.
Choose from +300 certified partner labs across Europe. Our first comprehensive draw captures +100 essential biomarkers, everything from cardiovascular markers and metabolic panels to hormone profiles and immune function. You show up. We handle the rest.
Our experts - not just algorithms - perform a whole-body analysis across cardiovascular, hormonal, metabolic, and immune systems. You receive an Axo Health Score, a Biological Age calculation, and a full breakdown of every marker: what it means, why it matters, and where you stand relative to true optimal ranges - not just lab reference ranges.
Your personalised health blueprint, built by Dr. Niko Mihic and Dr. Andy Walshe's sports science methodology. Not generic advice - specific, ranked, actionable interventions in nutrition, sleep, supplementation, exercise, and stress. Each recommendation is tied directly to your markers and calibrated to your lifestyle.
At the 6-month mark, a follow-up panel of targeted biomarkers confirms whether your interventions are working. Watch your score improve. See your biological age trend downward. Then the cycle begins again - deeper, sharper, and compounding with every pass.
