Why this panel

'Inflammation' is used so loosely it has almost stopped meaning anything. This panel measures it properly across several distinct mechanisms, so you can tell vascular inflammation from autoimmune from metabolic.

💡 What most people missThe neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio comes free with any $9 CBC and almost nobody calculates it. NLR is a well-validated marker of systemic inflammatory stress that predicts outcomes across cardiovascular disease, cancer and infection — and it costs nothing extra because the differential is already on the report. The Vault's calculator works it out for you. Also worth knowing: ferritin is an acute-phase reactant, so a high ferritin in an inflamed person may reflect inflammation rather than iron status — which is precisely the trap that makes people supplement iron they don't need.

⏰ When to get it drawnNot within 2 weeks of an infection, vaccination or hard training block — all transiently raise every marker here and will produce a misleading picture.
