This single blood test measures testosterone, the main male sex hormone linked to energy, libido, mood and fertility, and suits men who want a quick check on whether a low level might explain their symptoms.
1 biomarker as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
Testosterone is the main male sex hormone, and levels are commonly used to help explain symptoms such as low energy, low mood, reduced libido or fertility difficulties. The provider notes that levels naturally decline with age, and that unusually high levels can result from testosterone supplementation, anabolic steroid use, or an underlying endocrine disorder, while unusually low levels can also point to a hormone disorder. A result on its own is a starting point for a conversation with a doctor rather than an explanation in itself.
Within its comparison group of seven single-marker testosterone tests, ranging from £19 (Medichecks) to £135 (Better2Know), this one sits close to the £47.13 median at £45.25, cheaper than options from Selph, Better2Know and LetsGetChecked but more expensive than Medichecks, Forth and London Medical Laboratory. Collection is flexible: an at-home finger-prick kit, or a venous draw at a clinic or nurse home visit, with results back within 1 day.
Collection convenience scores at the top of the range, reflecting the choice of at-home or in-clinic sampling and the fast turnaround. Clarity also scores strongly, since the listing sets out the description, biomarker, sample type, turnaround and collection options in detail. Value for money sits roughly in line with the wider comparison group rather than clearly ahead of it, since several named peers are cheaper for the same single marker. Results are reviewed by a doctor, which supports the results and follow-up score, and clinical depth scores solidly despite being a single marker, since depth is not the point of this comparison group.
This suits you if you want a quick, flexible check of your testosterone level, for example because of symptoms like low energy, low libido or fertility concerns, and you want the option of an at-home finger-prick kit. If price is your main concern, Medichecks (£19), Forth (£29) and London Medical Laboratory (£39) all offer the same single marker for less. If you want testosterone measured alongside related hormones in one panel, Blue Horizon's own Testosterone Bronze, Silver or Gold tests go further than this single-marker option.
You can collect your own sample at home with a finger-prick kit, or have a venous blood sample taken at a clinic or by a home nurse visit. The sample is sent to the lab for testosterone analysis, and a doctor reviews the result before it is returned to you, typically within 1 day.
This single testosterone test costs £45.25, close to the £47.13 median across the seven comparable testosterone tests we track, which range from £19 up to £135. It offers at-home finger-prick collection as well as clinic and nurse-visit options, with results in 1 day. As a single marker it will not tell you why a result is high or low, so it works best as a starting point rather than a full hormone picture.
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.
