A nurse-collected blood test covering six male hormone markers, including testosterone, free androgen index, LH, FSH and prolactin. Suited to men with symptoms such as low sex drive, fatigue or hair loss.
6 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
This panel measures six hormone-related markers: testosterone, luteinising hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), free androgen index, prolactin and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). These are commonly used together to help assess symptoms such as low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, hair loss or loss of muscle mass in men, giving a broader picture than testosterone alone.
Against the fifteen tests in its comparison group, its six markers sit slightly below the median of eight, so it is not the most detailed panel available. On price it fares worse: £145 is 84% above the £79 comparison-group median, and every one of the eight named competing tests we track costs less, ranging from Randox Health's £46 Male Hormone Quickdraw (8 markers) to Medichecks' £79 Male Hormone Blood Test (10 markers), with several matching or beating this panel's biomarker count for under half the price.
The listing itself is clear, setting out the sample type, collection options and turnaround in full, which supports a strong clarity score. It scores less well on results and follow-up, since there is no doctor review as standard; you would need a separate paid consultation, or your own GP, to discuss an abnormal result.
This suits you if you specifically want a nurse to come to you for the blood sample, rather than visiting a clinic or collecting a sample yourself, and that convenience matters more to you than price. If cost or biomarker count is the priority, every peer we track is cheaper: Medichecks' Male Hormone Blood Test covers ten markers for £79, and Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw covers eight markers for £46, both for well under half this panel's price.
A nurse visits you to take a venous blood sample, which is sent to Better2Know's laboratory for analysis. Results are typically ready within one working day of the sample arriving and are published to your secure online patient area, with a Patient Services adviser confirming when they are available. There is no doctor review as standard; Better2Know can arrange a private consultation if your results are abnormal, or you can take them to your own GP. The same panel is also available as a £225 clinic appointment.
This nurse-collected panel checks six male hormone markers, including testosterone, LH, FSH and prolactin, for £145. Every one of the eight competing male hormone tests we track, from Randox at £46 to Medichecks at £79, costs less, several with a similar or larger biomarker count. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard, and Better2Know also offers the same panel as a £225 clinic appointment.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
6 biomarkers against a median of 8 across the 15 tests in its comparison group.
A blood sample taken at home by a visiting nurse or phlebotomist; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 1 days, well ahead of the mens hormones norm of 2.
Results are not doctor-reviewed and no consultation is included; the provider does not describe the report format.

This test belongs to our Male hormone panel comparison group. See how it stacks up against equivalent tests from other providers.
Deepest male hormone panel in the group, at median price
A 10-marker panel covering testosterone, other reproductive hormones and the proteins that affect hormone availability. Suited to men investigating low energy, libido or mood changes.
Calculated free testosterone below the group median price
Checks total and calculated free testosterone alongside LH, FSH, SHBG and albumin, giving a fuller picture of male hormone health than a total testosterone test alone. Suited to men with possible low testosterone symptoms such as low energy, low libido or difficulty building muscle.
10-marker panel, but Medichecks matches it for less
A 10-marker male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG, DHEAS, FSH, LH, prolactin and albumin, for a broader hormonal picture than a single testosterone test.
Cheapest at-home 8-hormone male panel in its group
An at-home finger-free blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, aimed at men wondering whether hormone levels could be behind low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Broadest male hormone panel we track, priciest too
A 12-marker panel covering testosterone, oestradiol, LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol and thyroid hormones, for men investigating symptoms like low libido, fatigue or mood changes.
10-marker hormone panel priced above the group median
A blood test covering testosterone, free testosterone, DHEA sulphate, SHBG and related hormones that affect energy, mood, libido and muscle and bone health in men. Suits men wanting a full hormone check rather than testosterone alone.
Below-median price, below-median depth male hormone panel
A 5-marker blood test measuring total and free testosterone, oestradiol, albumin and SHBG, giving more context on hormone balance than a total testosterone test alone. Aimed at men investigating symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Pricier and narrower than several rival male hormone panels
Checks total and free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, albumin and SHBG, aimed at monitoring hormone balance during testosterone replacement therapy.
Fast next-day results, £2 more than the at-home version
A clinic-based blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, for men wanting the same panel as the at-home Quickdraw kit but with faster results.
Same panel as Medichecks TRT test, £7.75 cheaper
A focused blood test that checks testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, prolactin and oestradiol after you've changed your TRT protocol, so your prescriber can see how your hormone levels have responded. Suited to men already on testosterone replacement therapy rather than those wanting a first, broader check.
Male hormone panel undercut only by Randox's own test
An at-home finger-prick test measuring eight male hormone markers, including testosterone, free testosterone, LH and FSH. Suited to men aged 20 and over investigating low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Costs more than every named peer in its group
This blood test covers testosterone, free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG, full blood count, PSA and albumin, aimed at men already on testosterone replacement therapy. It suits routine monitoring rather than an initial low-testosterone diagnosis.
5-marker hormone panel costing more than deeper peers
A budget-tier male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG and albumin, for men who want a slightly wider check than a single testosterone test.
Includes a GP consultation, but costs far more than peers
A 9-marker blood test covering testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, DHEA-S, oestradiol, prolactin and albumin, with a private GP consultation included. Suited to men investigating symptoms linked to low testosterone or hormonal changes.
