About this test

This test is marketed as a hormone-mapping panel for female athletes, intended for those managing RED-S or wanting to check whether their training load is affecting their hormones. Forth states the test measures 4 biomarkers but does not publish which markers these are.

There is no comparison group of similar tests for this one yet, so it is not possible to say how its price or depth compares with alternatives. The lack of published detail, no biomarker list, no turnaround time and no description of the report, makes it harder to judge before buying than most of Forth's other tests.

The scores reflect this gap in published information: clinical depth and clarity and documentation score below average because so little is stated publicly, while value for money is a middling score because there is nothing to benchmark the £149 price against. Collection convenience scores well because the test can be done at home, and results and follow-up score reasonably because a doctor reviews the results.

Who is it for?

This may suit female athletes already working with Forth or a coach who wants hormone data specific to training load and recovery. Because the biomarker list and turnaround time are not published, anyone comparing options carefully may want to contact Forth directly for those details, or consider one of Forth's other hormone tests, such as the Female Hormone Imbalance Home Test Kit, which lists its 11 markers and turnaround upfront.

How it works

You can collect a sample at home using a finger-prick kit or Forth's AutoDraw device, or arrange a home nurse visit or a venous draw at a partner clinic. Forth does not state a turnaround time for this test. Results are reviewed by a doctor.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Can be collected at home by finger-prick, AutoDraw, nurse visit or clinic draw.
  • Results are reviewed by a doctor.
  • Aimed specifically at female athletes' hormone health rather than a generic panel.

Cons

  • Forth does not publish which biomarkers are included.
  • No stated turnaround time.
  • No comparable tests published yet, so the £149 price cannot be benchmarked.
