This blood test covers testosterone, free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG, full blood count, PSA and albumin, aimed at men already on testosterone replacement therapy. It suits routine monitoring rather than an initial low-testosterone diagnosis.
8 biomarkers as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
This panel is built for people already on testosterone replacement therapy who need routine checks to confirm treatment is working safely, covering testosterone, calculated free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin and SHBG alongside full blood count, PSA and albumin. The provider frames it specifically as a monitoring test rather than a first investigation of low testosterone.
Against the eight peers we compare it with here, this is priced higher than all of them. Randox Health offers two 8-marker equivalents for £46 and £48, YorkTest's version costs £55, and even Medichecks' broader 10-marker Male Hormone Blood Test comes in at £79. Blue Horizon's own TRT Protocol Change and Testosterone Bronze tests, at £73.25 and £75.25, also undercut this one despite testing fewer markers. At £101.25, you are paying a premium of 28% over the comparison group's median of £79.00 for a marker count that matches most of these peers rather than exceeding it.
The test scores close to the group median for clinical depth, since its 8 markers match the median across the 15 tests in this comparison group, and well for results and follow-up thanks to the doctor review. Value for money is the clearest weak point, reflecting the price gap to cheaper peers with the same or a similar marker count, and collection convenience is middling because it needs a venous draw at a clinic or a nurse visit.
This suits someone already on TRT who wants routine monitoring blood work with a doctor reviewing the results. On price alone, Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw covers the same 8 markers for £46, and Medichecks' Male Hormone Blood Test covers 10 markers, two more than this test, for £79, so it is worth weighing this option against both before choosing Blue Horizon's version.
Collection is by venous draw, either at a clinic or with a nurse home visit; there is no at-home option for this test. The lab processes all 8 markers, a doctor reviews the results, and turnaround is stated at around 1 day.
This 8-marker panel is designed for routine monitoring during testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), covering testosterone, free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG, full blood count, PSA and albumin. At £101.25, it costs more than every one of the eight peers we compare it with, including Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw at £46 and Medichecks' 10-marker Male Hormone Blood Test at £79. Results are reviewed by a doctor and back in around a day.

This test belongs to our Male hormone panel comparison group. See how it stacks up against equivalent tests from other providers.
Deepest male hormone panel in the group, at median price
A 10-marker panel covering testosterone, other reproductive hormones and the proteins that affect hormone availability. Suited to men investigating low energy, libido or mood changes.
Calculated free testosterone below the group median price
Checks total and calculated free testosterone alongside LH, FSH, SHBG and albumin, giving a fuller picture of male hormone health than a total testosterone test alone. Suited to men with possible low testosterone symptoms such as low energy, low libido or difficulty building muscle.
10-marker panel, but Medichecks matches it for less
A 10-marker male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG, DHEAS, FSH, LH, prolactin and albumin, for a broader hormonal picture than a single testosterone test.
Cheapest at-home 8-hormone male panel in its group
An at-home finger-free blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, aimed at men wondering whether hormone levels could be behind low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Broadest male hormone panel we track, priciest too
A 12-marker panel covering testosterone, oestradiol, LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol and thyroid hormones, for men investigating symptoms like low libido, fatigue or mood changes.
10-marker hormone panel priced above the group median
A blood test covering testosterone, free testosterone, DHEA sulphate, SHBG and related hormones that affect energy, mood, libido and muscle and bone health in men. Suits men wanting a full hormone check rather than testosterone alone.
Below-median price, below-median depth male hormone panel
A 5-marker blood test measuring total and free testosterone, oestradiol, albumin and SHBG, giving more context on hormone balance than a total testosterone test alone. Aimed at men investigating symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Pricier and narrower than several rival male hormone panels
Checks total and free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, albumin and SHBG, aimed at monitoring hormone balance during testosterone replacement therapy.
Fast next-day results, £2 more than the at-home version
A clinic-based blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, for men wanting the same panel as the at-home Quickdraw kit but with faster results.
Same panel as Medichecks TRT test, £7.75 cheaper
A focused blood test that checks testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, prolactin and oestradiol after you've changed your TRT protocol, so your prescriber can see how your hormone levels have responded. Suited to men already on testosterone replacement therapy rather than those wanting a first, broader check.
Male hormone panel undercut only by Randox's own test
An at-home finger-prick test measuring eight male hormone markers, including testosterone, free testosterone, LH and FSH. Suited to men aged 20 and over investigating low energy, low libido or mood changes.
5-marker hormone panel costing more than deeper peers
A budget-tier male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG and albumin, for men who want a slightly wider check than a single testosterone test.
Includes a GP consultation, but costs far more than peers
A 9-marker blood test covering testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, DHEA-S, oestradiol, prolactin and albumin, with a private GP consultation included. Suited to men investigating symptoms linked to low testosterone or hormonal changes.
