A clinic blood test that checks testosterone levels, for men who want their sample taken by a professional rather than a home finger-prick kit.
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 that do not have another clear cause.
At £135, this is the most expensive of the eight tests in our comparison group, ahead of LetsGetChecked (£79), Better2Know's own home kit (£55), Selph (£49), Blue Horizon Medicals (£45.25), London Medical Laboratory (£39), Forth (£29) and Medichecks (£19), all of which measure the same single marker. This is the main reason its value for money score is so low.
Collection convenience scores lower than the home kit version because it requires a venous draw at a clinic, though results are still back within a day. Results and follow-up is also weak, since results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
This suits men who specifically want a venous blood draw taken by a clinician rather than a self-collected finger-prick, and do not mind paying a premium for that. Almost everyone else would get the same single testosterone reading more cheaply, either through Better2Know's own £55 home kit or a rival such as Medichecks at £19. See a GP about any symptoms or an abnormal result.
A clinician takes a venous blood sample from you at a Better2Know clinic and sends it to the lab. 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 £135 clinic blood test checks a single testosterone marker and is the most expensive of the eight tests in our comparison group, well above Medichecks' £19 version. Results are ready within a day, but Better2Know's own £55 home kit covers the same marker for far less.
