The benefits of the Men's Health blood test

1

Understanding hormone balance

You learn how hormones influence your health and can recognise irregularities at an early stage. The assessment of the various testosterone levels and SHBG provides information about the controllable elements of your hormone metabolism. This helps you to take better care of your body and understand your hormonal balance, as well as to optimise your diet and training plan.

2

Identify symptoms and address them

Our test shows you how hormones can affect your health, from reduced libido and mood swings to muscle mass loss and energy levels. With the test results, you can work on targeted lifestyle changes and supplementation to alleviate your symptoms and improve your health.

3

Prevent diseases at an early stage

Detect early risks for diseases such as hypogonadism, which often occurs in men aged 40 and over. In the event of repeated testosterone deficiency, you will be referred to a specialist who will identify the cause. This gives you the opportunity to prevent and maintain your health in good time, especially with regard to mental health and ageing.

What biomarkers are tested?

icon-hexagon-cell-primary-500 Icon

Total Testosterone

Serves as a critical marker for overall health, influencing muscle mass, bone density, libido, and mood among other physiological functions. Optimal levels of Total Testosterone are essential for promoting vitality, physical strength, and sexual health.

Free Testosterone

Free Testosterone represents a small fraction of the total testosterone that is not bound to proteins in the blood, thus being biologically active and readily available to the body.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)

SHBG is a protein that binds tightly to sex hormones, including testosterone, regulating their bioavailability in the bloodstream. The levels of SHBG can significantly influence the amount of free testosterone, with high SHBG levels leading to reduced availability of testosterone and potential symptoms of deficiency.

Albumin

The biomarker Albumin helps to calculate the proportion of freely available testosterone in the blood. This is important because Free Testosterone is the active form of the hormone.
