Who should take the test?
This test is suitable for men who want to better understand their hormonal balance and how it can influence their lifestyle and general health. Measuring levels of free testosterone, SHBG and estradiol can help identify hormonal imbalances that may be affecting weight, mood, muscle mass, energy levels, libido and other bodily functions. This test is especially useful for individuals with symptoms such as low energy, decreased libido or mood disorders.
Parameters tested
Free Testosterone
This is the amount of testosterone that circulates freely in the body, not bound to proteins. It is the biologically active form of testosterone that can be used immediately by the body. Free testosterone is crucial for bone density, libido, body fat distribution and muscle mass support. Testosterone plays a vital role in sperm production, healthy sex drive and maintaining strength and muscle mass. Low testosterone levels can result in lack of energy, fatigue, hair loss, low libido, erectile dysfunction, anxiety/depression and increased body fat.
Total Testosterone
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
SHBG is a protein that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone and estradiol, regulating the amount of these hormones that is available for use by the body. High levels of SHBG can decrease the amount of free testosterone available, while low levels can indicate an excess of free testosterone. Measuring SHBG levels helps to assess hormonal imbalances and the availability of free testosterone, influencing hormonal regulation, mood, weight management and libido.
Estradiol
Estradiol is the most common form of estrogen, a sex hormone which, despite being more prevalent in women, also plays important roles in men, including regulating sexual function, bone health and maintaining cardiovascular function. Abnormal levels of oestradiol can affect fertility, muscle mass and body fat distribution.
