Modest premium over peers, widest choice of collection
Prolactin measures a hormone released by the pituitary gland, tested here from an at-home finger-prick, Tasso device or clinic blood draw. It suits people investigating pituitary or hormone balance alongside other tests.
Below-average priced prolactin test, not the cheapest
