WBC Count

Measured in K/uL

Immune cells. A baseline screen to make sure no active infection or blood disorder is being missed.

What the numbers mean

These are the ranges BioForge works to. They are not the same as a lab's reference range, which is built from the general population rather than from people who feel well.

Low
<3.5
Optimal
4.5–8.0
High
>10.8

What moves WBC Count

Raised by infection, inflammation, stress, smoking, steroids. Lowered by viral illness, autoimmune disease, some medications, and bone marrow problems.
