A 42-marker blood test covering hormones, liver, kidney, cholesterol, thyroid function and full blood count, for athletes and gym-goers checking whether hormones are affecting training.
42 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test measures testosterone, FSH, LH and oestradiol for hormone status, alongside cholesterol, blood sugar via HbA1c, liver enzymes, kidney function, thyroid hormones, the inflammation marker hs-CRP, iron status and a full blood count. For people training hard or using steroids, checking hormone levels alongside organ function markers helps show whether low testosterone or other hormonal changes are affecting recovery and performance, and flags any strain on the liver or kidneys.
Within its comparison group of 15 sports and performance blood tests, this is the deepest panel, with 42 markers against a group median of 29. At £159 it costs about 18% more than the £135 median, but it's cheaper than Blue Horizon's Female Athlete Plus (23 markers, £132.25) and both of Forth's Fitness Blood Tests (15 markers each, £135). Medichecks' own Sports Hormone Blood Test (36 markers, £109) and Advanced Fitness Blood Test (29 markers, £108) cover much of the same ground for less.
The clinical depth score is close to the maximum, reflecting the marker count. Value for money is middling because of the premium over the group median. Trust signals score highly, reflecting the provider's Trustpilot rating, UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and included doctor review, and results and follow-up scores well because a doctor reviews the results. Collection convenience is middling, since it needs a clinic visit or a booked nurse visit rather than a home kit.
This suits people on steroid cycles, bodybuilders or athletes who want a broad check of hormones alongside general organ health while training hard. If the full 42 markers aren't necessary, Medichecks' own Sports Hormone Blood Test (36 markers, £109) or Advanced Fitness Blood Test (29 markers, £108) cover much of the same ground for around £50 less.
The sample is a venous blood draw, taken in-store at a clinic or via a home nurse visit; there's no at-home finger-prick option for this test. Results are reviewed by a doctor and are typically back within 3 days.
This is the largest of the sports and performance tests we compare, with 42 markers spanning hormones, liver, kidney and thyroid function, for £159. That's around 18% above the £135 group median price, though it's cheaper than Blue Horizon's Female Athlete Plus and both Forth fitness tests. The main gap is convenience, since there's no at-home collection option.
