Insights

The science, in the moments that matter.

For those who refuse to settle for average, the margin between a podium finish and the middle of the pack is written in your training. BodyCheck translates urine biomarkers into tactical data — so you train on truth, not guesswork.

Pillar 01

Hydration

Manage hydro-dynamics, not just water.

Blood is your engine's coolant. When you sweat you lose blood volume — the heart works harder, muscles get less oxygen, you overheat. Most athletes estimate fluid needs with formulas like the Galpin equation, but that's still a guess. BodyCheck shows you how to measure hydration directly: reading Specific Gravity and Chloride together gives you a real hydration index, so you can measure your hydration level every day instead of estimating it — calibrated to your exact sweat rate and workload.

SGSpecific GravityYour urine's concentration — tells you if you're drinking enough for your activity level.
ClChlorideElectrolyte balance — depleted by sweat, caffeine, or a low-salt diet.

How often to test

Built for a daily habit, not a yearly check-up.

Most people get blood work a few times a year. A BodyCheck test takes one urine sample and about two minutes, so you can test as often as your training demands.

01Every test

No needles, no draws

Urine reflects what your body has processed over the last several hours. One sample is all it takes, so testing often is easy to keep up.

02Recommended

Daily, for serious training

For athletes in a training block, bodybuilders on a cut or bulk, and biohackers running a protocol. Test each morning to learn your typical range and catch changes the day they happen.

03Lighter use

1–2 times a week, for a check-in

For staying on track between goals. A weekly check shows how your hydration, diet and recovery are trending. When you want sharper answers, step up to daily.

Going deeper? Test throughout the day.

Run several tests in one day to see how your body responds to training, food and rest in real time.

  1. Morning

    Set your baseline after a night's sleep, before food or training.

  2. After a workout

    See what the session cost you in hydration, electrolytes and metabolic buffer.

  3. Before bed

    Confirm you've rehydrated and replaced what you lost, so tomorrow starts in range.

How to Use BodyCheck - Use Cases

A routine repeats. A protocol reacts to your data.

01

Race-week hydration

Every athlete sweats differently — 1–2 L/hr, some salty, some not. Thirst is a terrible gauge.

The protocol

Read Specific Gravity and Chloride together to dial fluid and electrolytes to your exact sweat rate.

Specific GravityChloride
02

After a brutal tempo run

You're in an acidic, metabolically stressed state and reaching for recovery supplements.

The protocol

Instead of "magnesium every night," take it only when Metabolic Buffer and pH show you're genuinely under stress.

Metabolic BufferpH BalanceMagnesium
03

Auditing your supplements

You're stacking pills and hoping they're actually absorbing.

The protocol

If Mineral Load spikes right after a dose, you've hit your absorption limit — stop wasting money on more.

04

Dialing in a clean diet

You eat your greens but can't see whether it's working.

The protocol

Track Dietary Nitrates, Alkaline Buffer and Vitamin C to confirm your nutrition is filling measurable gaps.

05

Confirming ketosis

You're cutting carbs and want proof the switch actually flipped.

The protocol

Track Ketones to know the exact moment your metabolism switches to burning fat for fuel.
