A finger-prick blood test that checks testosterone levels, for men wanting a convenient at-home baseline check, for example if they have symptoms such as low sex drive.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
Testosterone is the main sex hormone in men, involved in sex drive, muscle mass, bone density and red blood cell production, and levels naturally decline with age. This test is commonly used to check testosterone levels in men with symptoms such as low sex drive, erectile difficulties or unexplained fatigue, which do not have another clear cause.
At £55, this sits above five of the seven tests in our comparison group: Medichecks (£19), Forth (£29), London Medical Laboratory (£39), Blue Horizon Medicals (£45.25) and Selph (£49) are all cheaper, while LetsGetChecked (£79) and Better2Know's own clinic version (£135) cost more. This is why the value for money score is only middling despite this being one of the cheaper Better2Know options.
Collection convenience scores highly, since you can test at home, at a clinic, or arrange a venous draw, with results back within a day either way. Results and follow-up is the weakest area, since results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
This suits men who want a convenient at-home baseline testosterone check, for example alongside symptoms such as reduced sex drive or fatigue. If cost is the main factor, Medichecks (£19) or Forth (£29) check the same single marker for considerably less. If you would rather have blood taken by a professional, Better2Know's own clinic version is available for £135. See a GP about any symptoms or an abnormal result.
You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to the lab; a clinic appointment is also available for £135 if you prefer. Results are typically ready within a day, and Better2Know's Patient Services team contacts you once they are available, alongside access through the secure patient login area. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
This £55 at-home finger-prick test checks a single testosterone marker and costs more than five of the seven rival tests in our comparison group, though it undercuts Better2Know's own £135 clinic version. Results are ready within a day, but there is no doctor review as standard.
