About this test

Testosterone plays a role in libido, fertility, muscle and bone strength, and mood in both men and women, and this test measures total testosterone on its own. It is commonly used to keep an eye on levels for people taking testosterone supplements or therapy, or as a starting point when investigating symptoms that may be hormone-related.

Every test in this comparison group measures a single testosterone marker, so the comparison here is really on price and convenience. At £39 it undercuts the £47.13 group median by about 17%, though two peers, Medichecks (£19) and Forth (£29), are cheaper still, while others such as LetsGetChecked (£79) and Better2Know (£135) cost more.

The scores show this pattern: clinical depth is treated as solid because the test measures exactly what it sets out to, value for money is above average given the discount to median, and collection convenience scores highly because it can be done entirely at home. Trust signals reflect the provider's CQC registration and doctor review as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone wanting a quick, moderately priced check on testosterone levels, for example while monitoring supplement use, or as a first step before discussing symptoms with a GP. If price is your only concern, Medichecks' equivalent single-marker test costs £19. If you'd rather see free testosterone alongside total testosterone, London Medical Laboratory's own Testosterone Plus Profile adds SHBG and albumin for £59.

How it works

This is a blood test. You can use an at-home finger-prick kit (£3.99 postage), attend a partner clinic for a venous draw (£35), or arrange a phlebotomist home visit. Results are typically ready within a day and are reviewed by a doctor.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Available as an at-home finger-prick kit, not just a clinic visit
  • About 17% cheaper than the £47.13 median for single testosterone tests
  • Results reviewed by a doctor and typically back within a day

Cons

  • More than double the price of Medichecks' £19 testosterone test
  • Checks total testosterone only, with no SHBG or free testosterone calculation
