Measures total and free testosterone alongside SHBG and albumin, used to assess whether low or imbalanced testosterone could explain symptoms such as low libido or fatigue in men.
4 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
The Male Testosterone Profile measures four markers: total testosterone and free testosterone, the hormones central to male sexual development and function, plus SHBG and albumin, two proteins that bind and transport testosterone around the body. Measuring all four together is used to give a clearer picture of how much testosterone is actually available for use, which can help identify hormone imbalances linked to symptoms such as low libido, erectile difficulties, low energy, mood changes or reduced muscle mass. Bluecrest specifies the sample should be taken before 11am because testosterone naturally fluctuates through the day.
At four biomarkers, this matches the median marker count across the seven testosterone tests we track. Price is where it falls down: at £119, it is more than double the £59 comparison-group median, and the most expensive of all seven tests, above Blue Horizon Medicals at £73.25 and Thriva at £62.10, the latter of which tests five markers rather than four.
Clarity scores well, with a detailed description, the full marker list, sample type and turnaround stated. Results and follow-up score lower because, like most of Bluecrest's individual tests, there is no doctor review included as standard.
This suits you if you want to test testosterone alongside its binding proteins in one appointment and would rather attend an in-person Bluecrest venue than use a home kit. On price alone, it is a weak choice: Medichecks tests the same four markers for £39, and Selph and Thriva test five markers, one more than Bluecrest, for £58 and £62.10 respectively. If you have symptoms of low testosterone, discuss them with your GP as well as any private test result.
This is a blood test collected by venous draw at a local Bluecrest venue, and Bluecrest specifies the sample should be taken before 11am to account for natural daily fluctuations in testosterone. Once processed, results are typically returned in around 3 to 8 days. There is no doctor review included as standard.
This £119 test measures total and free testosterone plus SHBG and albumin, and must be taken before 11am to account for daily hormone fluctuations. At more than double the £59 comparison-group median, it is the priciest of seven testosterone tests we track, and several peers include an extra marker for less money, for example Selph and Thriva test five markers each for £58 and £62.10.
