About this test

This panel covers four areas aimed at men: testosterone (including free testosterone, SHBG and free androgen index), a 7-marker cholesterol profile, HbA1c for blood sugar and diabetes risk, and liver function markers including proteins. Testosterone naturally declines with age and can affect energy, mood and sex drive, while the cholesterol and liver markers are commonly used to assess cardiovascular and liver health.

We do not have named peer tests to compare this one against directly. Within the broader set of men's health tests we track, its 19 biomarkers place it in the 83rd percentile by depth, and its £79 price sits 30% below the £113.40 median for the 7 similarly sized tests in that set.

The score is driven up by clinical depth, given the biomarker count, and by results and follow-up, since results are reviewed by a doctor. clarity and documentation and value for money against the broader benchmark also contribute positively.

Who is it for?

This suits men who want a broad routine health check covering testosterone, cholesterol, blood sugar and liver function, with the reassurance of a doctor reviewing the results.

We do not track named peer tests to point you to a cheaper or deeper alternative, though this provider's own General health blood test covers 18 markers without testosterone for £97, and its Weight management blood test covers 10 markers for £75.

How it works

You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home, then post it to the lab. Results are normally ready within 3 working days of the sample arriving, and a doctor reviews your results before they are released to you.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • 19 biomarkers places it in the 83rd percentile of men's health tests we track.

  • Covers free testosterone alongside SHBG and free androgen index, not just total testosterone.
  • 30% cheaper than the £113.40 median for similarly sized men's health tests we track.

Cons

  • No named peer tests tracked for this exact panel, so direct comparisons are limited.
  • Does not include vitamin D or thyroid markers, unlike this provider's general health test.
