This test measures free testosterone alongside total testosterone, SHBG and albumin, used to calculate how much testosterone is actually available to the body. It suits men wanting a fuller hormone picture than total testosterone alone.
4 biomarkers as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
This test reports Free Testosterone as a calculated result, alongside the three measurements needed to work it out: Total Testosterone, SHBG and Albumin. The provider explains that Total Testosterone alone can look normal even when the amount actually free and available in the bloodstream is not, which is the rationale for including SHBG and Albumin here.
Against the seven tests we compare in this group, it comes out towards the expensive end at £73.25, above the £59 median and well above Medichecks' £39 test for the same four biomarkers. Only Bluecrest Wellness's £119 profile costs more. Selph and Numan offer five-biomarker versions, one more marker than this test, for £58 each, undercutting it on both price and depth.
It scores at the top for collection convenience, since it supports an at-home finger-prick, a Tasso autodraw device, a venous draw at a clinic, or a nurse home visit. That convenience is the main thing propping up the overall score against a below-average value-for-money result. Results are reviewed by a doctor, and Blue Horizon has traded since 2009 with a 4.2 Trustpilot score from 395 reviews and lab work through UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs.
This suits men who want to check testosterone levels and specifically want the free, biologically available amount calculated, not just a total testosterone figure, and who value having several collection methods to choose from, including an at-home finger-prick or the Tasso autodraw device.
On price alone, Medichecks' Free and Total Testosterone Blood Test covers the same four markers for £39, less than half this test's £73.25. Selph and Numan both offer a five-biomarker testosterone profile for £58, adding an extra marker for less money, so either would suit someone prioritising cost or depth over Blue Horizon's collection flexibility.
You can take this as an at-home finger-prick sample, use a Tasso autodraw device, or opt for a venous draw at a clinic or a nurse home visit; the option is selected at checkout. Once your sample reaches the lab, Free Testosterone is calculated from your Total Testosterone, SHBG and Albumin results, which are reviewed by a doctor. Results are typically back within 1 day.
This test calculates Free Testosterone from Total Testosterone, SHBG and Albumin, giving a fuller picture than a total testosterone result alone. At £73.25 it costs more than five of the six peer tests we compare, including Medichecks' £39 equivalent and the £59 group median; only Bluecrest Wellness's £119 profile is pricier. Its strength is the wide range of collection options, including an at-home finger-prick and the Tasso autodraw device.
