About this test

This panel targets the hormones most relevant to low testosterone in men: testosterone itself, calculated free testosterone, SHBG, oestradiol, prolactin, FSH and LH, alongside thyroid hormones. It adds a set of general health markers, including full blood count, liver and kidney function, a lipid profile, PSA and HbA1c, which the provider says gives a wider health screen alongside the hormone investigation.

There is no named comparison group for this exact combination, so it is not measured here against specific named rivals. Against the wider set of similarly sized men's hormone tests we track, its £130.25 price is 38% above the median of £94.25, though its 17 markers also place it in the 91st percentile for depth among that group, so the higher price reflects a broader panel rather than a premium on the same content.

It scores at the top of the range for clinical depth given its marker count and well for results and follow-up, since a doctor reviews the results. Value for money is the weakest score, reflecting the price gap to similarly sized panels, while collection convenience is middling because it needs a venous draw at a clinic or a nurse visit rather than an at-home option.

Who is it for?

This suits men investigating symptoms of low testosterone, such as low energy, low libido or mood changes, who want hormone markers checked alongside a broader set of general health markers in one test. If you already know you want testosterone monitored rather than a first diagnosis, Blue Horizon's TRT Monitor test covers the core hormones needed for ongoing monitoring for £101.25, a narrower panel at a lower price. If you are experiencing symptoms and are unsure what is causing them, it is worth speaking to a GP as well, since this test does not diagnose the underlying cause.

How it works

Collection is by venous draw, either at a clinic or with a nurse home visit; there is no at-home option for this panel. The lab processes all 17 markers, a doctor reviews the results, and turnaround is stated at around 1 day.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers testosterone, free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, FSH, LH and SHBG in one test.
  • Adds full blood count, liver and kidney function, lipids, PSA and HbA1c for a wider health check.
  • Places in the 91st percentile for marker count among the men's hormone tests we track.
  • Results are reviewed by a doctor, with turnaround stated at around 1 day.

Cons

  • Priced 38% above the median for similarly sized men's hormone tests we track.
  • No at-home collection option; requires a venous draw at a clinic or a nurse visit.
  • No named comparison group, making it harder to weigh directly against specific rivals.
