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.
8 biomarkers as listed by Forth, of 12 in total.
This panel measures testosterone alongside oestradiol, luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, cortisol and thyroid hormones. Together these markers are commonly used to look into symptoms like low energy, low mood, reduced muscle mass or changes in libido, though the test cannot tell you why any imbalance exists, only what your levels are.
Among the eight male hormone panels we track, this is both the broadest and the most expensive: 12 markers for £89, compared with a group median of 8 markers and £79. Medichecks' Male Hormone Blood Test comes closest on depth at 10 markers for £79, while Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw and Male Hormone Test cover 8 markers each for £46 and £48. If you want more markers than the cheaper options without paying Forth's premium, the Medichecks panel is the closer match on price.
The score reflects strong marker coverage but weaker value for money, since £89 is 13% above the group median. Clarity is good but not complete, as the listing only names some of the 12 markers rather than the full list. Collection is flexible, and results come with a doctor review within 2 days.
This suits you if you want the broadest male hormone check in this comparison group and are less concerned about price. If cost matters more, Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw (£46, 8 markers) or Medichecks' Male Hormone Blood Test (£79, 10 markers) cover fewer or similar markers for less.
Collect your sample with an at-home finger-prick kit, Forth's AutoDraw device, a home nurse visit, or a venous draw at a partner clinic. The lab analyses 12 markers including testosterone, oestradiol and thyroid hormones, and a doctor reviews your results before release. Results are typically available within 2 days.
At £89, this is the most expensive of the eight male hormone tests we compare, but also the one with the most markers: 12, against a group median of 8. It includes a doctor review and results in 2 days. If price matters more than breadth, several peers cover 8 markers for £46 to £55.
The listing publishes a short description, some of the biomarkers by name, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.

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.
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
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.
Six-marker male hormone panel, priciest of its peers
A nurse-collected blood test covering six male hormone markers, including testosterone, free androgen index, LH, FSH and prolactin. Suited to men with symptoms such as low sex drive, fatigue or hair loss.
