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.
9 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
Nine hormones and proteins involved in male reproductive and metabolic health are covered here: total and free testosterone, SHBG, luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, DHEA-S, oestradiol, prolactin and albumin. These markers are commonly used together to help build a picture of hormonal balance in men reporting symptoms such as low energy, reduced libido, low mood or changes in body composition, and the results come with a private GP consultation to talk through what they mean.
Within its comparison group of male hormone panels, this test has a marker count slightly above the median of 8, matching or exceeding most peers, including Randox Health's 8-marker tests at £46 and £48, YorkTest's 8-marker test at £55, and Medichecks' 10-marker test at £79. Its price of £169 is more than double the most expensive of those peers, so the marker count alone does not explain the difference; the included GP consultation is the main additional element this test offers.
The score reflects that trade-off. It scores very well on clinical depth, with 9 markers against a group median of 8, and on results and follow-up, since results are reviewed by a doctor, unlike Bluecrest's other tests. It also scores well on clarity and trust, given the detailed description and Bluecrest's Trustpilot rating, own lab and CQC registration. value for money is weak, since £169 is 114% above the comparison group's median, and it loses marks on collection convenience, needing a venous draw at a clinic before 11am with results in around eight days.
This suits men who want a broad hormone panel alongside a GP consultation to discuss the results and possible next steps, particularly if you are experiencing symptoms such as low libido, low energy or mood changes, or have risk factors such as type 2 diabetes or a raised BMI. If your symptoms are affecting daily life, it is also worth speaking to your GP directly.
If budget is the priority and you do not need the GP consultation, several peers in this comparison group cost far less, including Randox Health's 8-marker Male Hormone Test at £46 to £48 and Medichecks' 10-marker Male Hormone Blood Test at £79.
You attend a local Bluecrest venue for a venous blood draw before 11am, since testosterone levels follow a daily rhythm. The sample is sent to Bluecrest's own laboratory, with results typically ready in three to eight days, and a private GP consultation is included to discuss the results.
A £169 price tag buys nine hormone markers and a private GP consultation in the Advanced Male Hormone Profile. It has slightly more markers than most peers in its comparison group, but costs more than double the priciest of them, Medichecks' £79, 10-marker test. Blood samples must be taken before 11am, since testosterone follows a daily rhythm.

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.
Costs more than every named peer in its group
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.
5-marker hormone panel costing more than deeper peers
