About this test

This panel focuses on hormones affected by fitness activity and supplement use: DHEA sulphate, FSH, LH, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG, total and calculated free testosterone, and TSH, alongside a liver panel and free T4. The liver markers matter here because the liver processes much of what you take in, including supplements, and thyroid hormone is included because an underactive thyroid can blunt energy levels regardless of training.

With 19 biomarkers this sits below the comparison group's median of 29, and at £189 it is priced 40% above the £135 median and higher than every one of its eight listed peers, including Medichecks' 36-marker Sports Hormone Blood Test at £109.

The scores reflect this: clinical depth is moderate given the below-median marker count, and value for money is the lowest of London Medical Laboratory's sports tests because of the premium over peers. Collection convenience is limited to a clinic or home-visit blood draw, while trust signals reflect the provider's CQC registration and standard doctor review.

Who is it for?

This is aimed at people who specifically want the widest range of hormones linked to training and supplement use, rather than a general fitness check. If you also want a full blood count and broader markers, London Medical Laboratory's own Sports Fitness Profile covers 40 markers for £119. If hormones are the priority but price matters more, Medichecks' Sports Hormone Blood Test checks 36 markers for £109.

How it works

This is a blood test taken by venous draw at a partner clinic (£35) or a phlebotomist home visit (£80); it is not available as an at-home finger-prick kit. Results are typically back within a day and are reviewed by a doctor.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers ten separate hormones plus liver and thyroid checks in one draw
  • Includes SHBG and free androgen index alongside total testosterone
  • Results reviewed by a doctor and typically back within a day

Cons

  • 40% above the £135 median price for its comparison group, and the priciest test in it
  • 19 biomarkers, below the group median of 29
  • Medichecks' Sports Hormone Blood Test checks 36 markers for £80 less
  • No finger-prick option; requires a clinic visit or paid home visit

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Priciest hormone test in its sports comparison group
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

At £189, this 19-marker hormone panel costs 40% more than the £135 median for its comparison group, and it is the most expensive test in that group. London Medical Laboratory's own Sports Fitness Profile checks more than double the markers for £70 less, so this one is worth choosing only if hormones specifically are what you want to track.
