Hormones

Free Cortisol refers to the unbound, biologically active form of cortisol circulating in the body. Unlike total cortisol, which includes both bound and unbound hormone, free cortisol represents the fraction that is available to tissues and can directly influence stress response, metabolism, immune function, and energy levels. Measuring free cortisol provides a more accurate reflection of how the body is responding to physical and emotional stress. It is commonly assessed in urine or saliva samples and is particularly relevant in evaluating adrenal function and circadian rhythm imbalances.

The Testosterone/Cortisol ratio reflects the balance between anabolic (building) and catabolic (breaking down) processes in the body. Testosterone supports muscle growth, energy, and recovery, while cortisol is a stress hormone that can promote tissue breakdown when chronically elevated. A healthy ratio may indicate good resilience, recovery capacity, and hormonal balance, whereas a low ratio may suggest high stress load, overtraining, or hormonal imbalance. This marker is particularly relevant for athletes, individuals under chronic stress, or those with fatigue-related symptoms. It helps provide context to both testosterone and cortisol values when interpreted together.

Testosterone/Cortisol ratio

Free testosterone refers to the fraction of testosterone in the bloodstream that is not bound to proteins like sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) or albumin. Unlike bound testosterone, free testosterone is biologically active and readily available to interact with cells, making it a key indicator of hormonal activity in the body. It plays a vital role in regulating libido, energy levels, muscle strength, and mood in both men and women.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid function. It signals the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones, which are crucial for metabolism, energy, and growth. TSH levels help diagnose thyroid disorders, indicating whether the thyroid is functioning properly....

DHEA-S, the sulfate form of DHEA, is more stable and abundant in blood. Blood measurement of DHEA-S provides a longer-term view of DHEA levels, useful for assessing hormonal balance, adrenal function, and aging-related changes over time....

DHEA-S

Free Thyroxine (fT4) is another key thyroid hormone, essential for metabolism, brain development, and bone health. It acts as a precursor for fT3. Measuring fT4 helps assess thyroid function, as it shows the hormone directly produced by the thyroid gland and available for conversion to fT3....

Free T4 (fT4)

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a crucial hormone in both men and women, produced by the anterior pituitary gland. In women, LH plays a vital role in ovulation and the maintenance of the menstrual cycle. It triggers the release of an egg from the ovary and stimulates the production of progesterone. In men, LH stimulates the production of testosterone by the testes. Balanced LH levels are essential for reproductive health and hormonal balance in both sexes....




Luteinizing Hormone

Free Triiodothyronine (fT3) is one of the two primary thyroid hormones, playing a crucial role in regulating metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. Unlike total T3, fT3 represents the unbound hormone available for immediate use by the body, making it a critical indicator of thyroid function....

Free T3 (fT3)

DHEA, produced by the adrenal glands, serves as a precursor to sex hormones. Its saliva measurement reflects active hormone levels, indicating the body's immediate DHEA production. This assessment helps in evaluating adrenal function, aging processes, and risk for chronic diseases....

DHEA

Melatonin is a hormone primarily produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It plays a crucial role in regulating the body's circadian rhythms, including the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin levels typically rise in the evening, peak during the night, and decrease by morning, signaling the body to prepare for sleep. It's also involved in other physiological processes, including immune function and antioxidant activity....




Melatonin

Testosterone is a hormone primarily associated with male sexual development and health, though it's also important in women. In men, it's produced mainly in the testes and is crucial for developing male reproductive tissues, promoting secondary sexual characteristics like muscle mass and body hair, and influencing libido and mood. Women produce testosterone in smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands, where it contributes to bone strength, ovarian function, and libido....

Testosterone (total)

Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, primarily associated with lactation in females. It plays a role in fertility, regulates the immune system, and impacts sexual satisfaction. High levels can cause symptoms like irregular periods or infertility, while low levels might affect milk production post-pregnancy....

Prolactin

Progesterone is a hormone crucial for the female reproductive system, mainly produced in the ovaries after ovulation. It prepares the uterus for potential pregnancy and maintains it if pregnancy occurs; if not, its levels drop to trigger menstruation. Progesterone also affects sexual desire, mood regulation, and bone strength. In pregnancy, it's produced by the placenta to support the pregnancy and prepare for breastfeeding. Men have lower levels of progesterone, involved in sperm development....




Progesterone

The Estrogen/Progesterone ratio is a crucial indicator of hormonal balance in the body, particularly in women. Estrogen and progesterone are key hormones in female reproductive health, and their balance is essential for regular menstrual cycles, fertility, mood regulation, and overall well-being. An optimal ratio ensures a harmonious interplay between these hormones, while an imbalance can lead to various health issues. This ratio changes throughout the menstrual cycle and can be affected by factors like age, lifestyle, and health conditions....

Estrogen/Progesterone ratio

Estrogen is a key female hormone, also present in men, crucial for developing and regulating the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. In women, it manages the menstrual cycle and affects the reproductive tract, skin, and bones. In men, it's involved in libido, erectile function, and sperm production. Produced mainly in women's ovaries and in men's testes, estrogen levels fluctuate significantly during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause. Imbalances can lead to health issues like menstrual irregularities and mood swings....




Estrogen (estradiol)

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.

Testing testosterone levels is beneficial for men with symptoms of low testosterone, such as decreased libido and fatigue, and for older men who naturally experience reduced testosterone levels. Women with signs of high testosterone, often associated with conditions like PCOS, can also benefit from testing. Additionally, individuals with symptoms of hormonal imbalances, athletes, bodybuilders, and those undergoing hormone therapy, including transgender individuals, may find testosterone testing useful for managing their health and treatment plans.

Who would benefit from testing their testosterone levels?

Total testosterone measures all testosterone in the blood, including both the testosterone bound to proteins and the free, unbound form. Free testosterone, however, refers only to the small, unbound portion that is biologically active and available for the body to use. While total testosterone gives a general overview, free testosterone is crucial for understanding the hormone&rsquo;s actual availability for physiological processes.

What is the difference between free and total testosterone?

<ul>
 <li>Reduced libido</li>
 <li>Erectile dysfunction</li>
 <li>Fatigue</li>
 <li>Difficulty concentrating</li>
 <li>Loss of muscle mass and strength</li>
 <li>Increased body fat</li>
 <li>Decreased bone density</li>
 <li>Mood changes</li>
 <li>Hot flashes</li>
 <li>Decreased body hair</li>
</ul>

What are symptoms of low testosterone?

If your testosterone levels are abnormal, it&rsquo;s important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper interpretation of the results and to discuss potential underlying causes. They may recommend additional tests for a more comprehensive evaluation. Treatment options vary depending on whether your testosterone levels are high or low and could include hormone replacement therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Regular monitoring of your testosterone levels is crucial to assess the effectiveness of any treatment or changes. Managing any underlying health conditions is also key to normalizing testosterone levels. Always seek professional medical advice before starting any treatment.
