Male Hormones Clarity

Our Male Hormones Clarity test includes 14 essential biomarkers including Testosterone, which are crucial for understanding a man's hormonal health, reproductive function, stress response, and overall well-being

Blood Analysis

Albumin: The main protein in blood plasma, important for maintaining blood volume and pressure. Why measure: To assess liver function and overall protein levels.
Ferritin: A protein that stores and releases iron, indicating the body's iron reserves. Why measure: To evaluate iron levels and diagnose iron deficiency or overload.

Reproductive Hormones

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Regulates reproductive processes such as sperm production in males. Why measure: To assess reproductive health and diagnose fertility issues.
Luteinising Hormone (LH): Regulates testosterone production in males. Why measure: To evaluate reproductive health and diagnose hormonal disorders.
Prolactin: Involved in reproductive health. Why measure: To assess pituitary function and reproductive health.

Sex Steroid Hormones

DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone-Sulphate): An androgen precursor produced by the adrenal glands, which plays a role in the production of sex hormones and impacts various bodily functions. Why measure: To evaluate adrenal gland function, assess androgen status, and diagnose conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as adrenal insufficiency or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Testosterone: Main male sex hormone involved in male characteristics, muscle mass, and libido. Why measure: To evaluate androgen levels and diagnose hormonal imbalances or conditions.
Free Testosterone (Calculated): The biologically active form of testosterone. Why Measure: To assess testosterone levels and diagnose hormonal imbalances.
SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin): A protein that binds sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Why measure: To assess hormonal balance and diagnose related disorders.

Stress Hormones

Cortisol: Primary stress hormone that regulates metabolism, immune response, and stress adaptation. Why measure: To evaluate stress levels, adrenal function, and overall hormonal balance.

Thyroid Function

FT3 (Free Triiodothyronine): The unbound form of T3 hormone that is active in regulating metabolism and energy levels. Why measure: To assess thyroid function and diagnose thyroid disorders.
FT4 (Free Thyroxine): The unbound form of T4 hormone that helps regulate metabolism and growth. Why measure: To evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid-related conditions.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): A hormone that regulates the production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) by the thyroid gland. Why measure: To evaluate thyroid function and diagnose hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Vitamins and Minerals

Magnesium: A mineral important for muscle and nerve function, bone health, and energy production. Why measure: To assess magnesium levels and diagnose deficiencies or related health conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the male hormone panel include?

This panel measures total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), oestradiol, prolactin, FSH, and LH. These markers provide a comprehensive picture of male hormonal health and function.

When should I take the test?

Test first thing in the morning (before 10am) when testosterone levels are at their peak. Testosterone naturally fluctuates throughout the day, with levels highest in the morning. Avoid intense exercise in the 24 hours before testing.

What are normal testosterone levels?

Normal total testosterone ranges from approximately 8.64-29 nmol/L for adult men, though optimal levels depend on age. Free testosterone (the biologically active form) is typically 0.2-0.62 nmol/L. Your doctor-reviewed results will indicate whether your levels are within the expected range for your age.

Can low testosterone cause fatigue and mood changes?

Yes. Low testosterone (hypogonadism) can cause fatigue, low mood, reduced motivation, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, low libido, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms overlap with many other conditions, which is why testing is important for an accurate diagnosis.

Do I need to fast?

Fasting is not strictly required for testosterone testing, but it is recommended if your panel includes metabolic markers. Test in the morning for the most accurate testosterone measurement.

Will exercise affect my results?

Intense exercise can temporarily elevate testosterone. Avoid heavy training or strenuous exercise in the 24 hours before your test for the most representative results. Light activity is fine.
