WBC Differential

Measured in neutrophils, lymphs, monos, eos, basos

The breakdown of your white cells by type. The pattern points at what your immune system is dealing with.

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
Neutrophils <1.4 · Lymphs <0.7 · absolute, K/uL
Optimal
Neutrophils 2.0–5.0 · Lymphs 1.5–3.0
High
Neutrophils >7.0 · Lymphs >3.1 · Eos >0.4

What moves WBC Differential

High neutrophils point to bacterial infection, stress or steroids. High lymphocytes point to viral illness. High eosinophils point to allergy or parasites. Values shift with a recent illness or a hard training block — repeat before acting on a single result.
