About this test

Check the full range of hormones that affect, or are affected by, your fitness and sports activities.

It includes liver and thyroid function along with testosterone, SHBG, DHEAS, LH, FSH, oestradiol and prolactin.

It identifies any deficiencies or changes from fitness activity or from supplements.

Due to the comprehensive scale of this profile a phlebotomy sample is needed.

What can I expect from Sports Hormone Profile?

Analyse the widest range of hormones and systems in your body affected by fitness activity, that can be measured with a blood test.

If you are taking supplements and want to monitor the affects these are having then this is the test for you.

If you are concerned that you may not be responding to your exercise as you should then these are the hormones and systems to check.

Your liver function is tested which is where your body processes most of the food and substances you introduce into your body.

Thyroid function is checked with TSH and FT4 as if this is not working you will not have the energy you should.

The widest range of hormones are analysed. All these hormones are very important for both men and women - although in different concentrations of course.

Free & Total Testosterone, SHBG, DHEAS and Free Androgen Index are checked.

Oestradiol, Luteinising Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Prolactin are all included.

This profile can be performed on both a finger prick and a phlebotomy sample.
