ApoB
Counts the particles that can carry cholesterol into artery walls.

Laboratory rangeOptimal band, under 80 mg/dLOutside the range
Commonly used laboratory range — confirm with the lab.Ranges vary by method. Optimal bands can be narrower than standard laboratory reference ranges; this one is widely used, not a target set for you.
A protein that sits on every LDL, VLDL, IDL and Lp(a) particle — exactly one per particle. Measuring it counts those particles directly.
- 1ApoB on each particle, so it works as a particle count
- 8–12weeks for a change in diet to show
- Lp(a)read alongside — the inherited share
A laboratory range gives context, not a diagnosis.
Santé explains what a biomarker measures; it does not tell you what to take or do. Your clinician does.
In your account
One value is a snapshot. Three are a direction.
When ApoB is in a panel you take, each result sits beside the last — so you see the direction, not just the day.

A protein that sits on every LDL, VLDL, IDL and Lp(a) particle — exactly one per particle. Measuring it counts those particles directly.
Adults under 100 mg/dL. This is a commonly used laboratory range; confirm it with the lab, because ranges vary by method.
Yes, a widely used one: under 80 mg/dL. It is narrower than the laboratory range and is not a target set for you.
Particles, not only the cholesterol inside them, are what lodge in artery walls. When LDL cholesterol and ApoB disagree, ApoB usually tells the clearer story about long-term risk.
Saturated fat, fibre, body weight, thyroid function and genes all move it. Some medicines lower it; whether that is relevant is a conversation with your clinician.
A blood sample.
Yes. ApoB is one of the 88 biomarkers in the Santé 360, the check the membership includes once a year.
