Medical Disclaimer

1. Educational use only

SomaVue presents general educational information about laboratory blood markers, reference ranges drawn from publicly available clinical and functional-medicine sources, and peer-reviewed literature describing potential correlations between markers and nutrient status, environmental toxins, infections, and circadian biology. This information is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

The information presented is general in nature. It is not tailored to your specific health history, medications, conditions, lifestyle, age, sex, pregnancy status, ethnicity, hydration status, recent meals, recent exercise, or any other variable that influences laboratory values. You should not rely on any information on SomaVue to make health, medical, dietary, or lifestyle decisions.

2. Not a medical device

SomaVue is not a medical device as defined under the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, Section 201(h), or under any equivalent law of any other jurisdiction. SomaVue:

• Has not been reviewed, evaluated, cleared, approved, or registered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, the European Medicines Agency, the UK MHRA, or any other regulatory authority.
• Is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or any function of the body of humans or animals.
• Does not provide laboratory testing, does not interpret laboratory results in a clinically actionable way, and does not generate a diagnosis, treatment plan, or prescription.

Any flag, color, range comparison, or note shown by SomaVue is a general educational reference. It is not a clinical interpretation of your results.

3. No doctor–patient relationship

Use of SomaVue does not create a doctor–patient, practitioner–patient, therapist–client, or any other professional relationship between you and SomaVue, its operators, contributors, employees, contractors, or affiliates. The information provided is general and is not personalized medical advice.

SomaVue is operated by individuals and entities that, in connection with the operation of this site, are not acting as your physician, registered dietitian, naturopath, functional medicine practitioner, mental health professional, or any other licensed clinician. Always seek the advice of a licensed healthcare provider qualified in your jurisdiction with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, laboratory result, symptom, medication, supplement, treatment, or change in lifestyle.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on SomaVue.

4. Reference ranges and limitations

Laboratory reference ranges are not universal. They are derived from specific reference populations using specific assay platforms, sample handling procedures, calibration standards, and statistical conventions (typically the central 95% of a reference population). Ranges shown by SomaVue may differ — sometimes substantially — from the ranges your laboratory or clinician uses for the same marker.

Ranges shown by SomaVue are categorized as either:

• Standard ranges — common cut-offs used by major U.S. reference laboratories (such as Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, and Mayo Clinic Laboratories), aggregated from publicly available laboratory documentation.
• Functional ranges — narrower targets used by some practitioners in functional and integrative medicine, drawn from sources such as the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and practitioner consensus literature. Functional ranges are not universally accepted clinical cut-offs and are not endorsed by mainstream clinical pathology guidelines.

Reference ranges shift with — among other factors — age, sex, pregnancy, lactation, ethnicity, altitude, hydration, posture during draw, time of day, recent meals, recent exercise, recent infection or vaccination, current medications, current supplements, and the specific assay used. A value inside or outside any range shown on SomaVue does not, by itself, indicate health, disease, or a need for any action.

5. Correlations are not causation

SomaVue presents correlations between blood markers and four domains: nutrient status, environmental toxin exposure, infections, and circadian biology. These correlations are drawn from peer-reviewed literature (including PubMed-indexed studies) and from clinical reference frameworks. They are presented to surface possible relationships worthy of discussion with a clinician, not as causal claims.

A statistical association between a marker and a condition, exposure, or pathway in published literature does not mean that your specific result is caused by, indicative of, or predictive of that condition, exposure, or pathway. Many markers are influenced by dozens of overlapping factors. Do not self-diagnose, self-treat, supplement, or change medications based on any correlation shown by SomaVue.

6. Emergencies and acute symptoms

SomaVue is not designed for, and must not be used in, urgent or emergency situations. If you are experiencing chest pain, severe shortness of breath, signs of stroke, suicidal thoughts, severe abdominal pain, signs of severe infection, severe bleeding, severe allergic reaction, or any other symptom that may be a medical emergency, stop using SomaVue immediately and call 911 (in the United States) or your local emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency department.

7. Third-party content and links

SomaVue may link to third-party resources, including PubMed citations, clinical society guidelines, and laboratory documentation. SomaVue does not control, endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or current validity of any third-party content. Linking to a study or resource does not constitute endorsement of any treatment, supplement, intervention, practitioner, or product mentioned in that resource.

8. Your assumption of risk

By using SomaVue, you acknowledge and agree that you have read this disclaimer, that you understand it, that you accept all risks associated with reviewing educational information about laboratory results, and that you will consult a licensed healthcare provider before acting on any information you encounter on SomaVue. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release SomaVue, its operators, contributors, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any and all liability arising from your use of, or reliance on, the information presented.

Additional limitations of liability are described in the Terms of Service, which you should also review before using SomaVue.
