A single-marker blood test measuring total testosterone, the main male sex hormone, which also plays a role in muscle strength, mood and energy levels. Aimed at men wanting a low-cost way to check or monitor this one hormone.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
This test measures total testosterone, the main male sex hormone, which also plays a role in muscle strength, mood and general well-being. As a single-marker test, it's a narrow, targeted check rather than a broad hormone panel, useful when you specifically want to track this one value, for example alongside symptoms of low energy or reduced muscle mass, or to monitor levels over time.
Against the other testosterone tests we track, this one is clearly the cheapest: at £19 it sits 60% below the £47.13 group median, and every listed peer costs more, from £29 for Forth's Testosterone Home Blood Test Kit up to £135 for Better2Know's Testosterone Test. All of the peers check the same single marker, so the price difference isn't explained by any difference in scope.
The scores reflect this: full marks for value for money and for collection convenience, since it's available as an at-home finger-prick test as well as through a clinic, and strong marks for trust signals and results follow-up. Clinical depth is scored as adequate for what a single-marker test sets out to do, rather than judged against wider panels.
This suits you if you want to check total testosterone on its own, cheaply, for example to monitor levels over time or alongside symptoms such as low energy, reduced muscle mass or low libido, without paying for a wider hormone panel. It is markedly cheaper than every other testosterone test we track, including Forth's kit at £29 and Better2Know's at £135. If you want more context alongside testosterone, such as oestradiol or SHBG, Medichecks' own Testosterone and Oestradiol Blood Test (£64) or Testosterone, Free Testosterone and Oestradiol Blood Test (£69) cover more ground.
You can take this test at home with a finger-prick sample, or have it done at a clinic, by a home nurse visit, or via a venous draw; Medichecks recommends the venous method to avoid contamination from testosterone gels, creams or contact with contaminated surfaces. The lab processes the sample and a doctor reviews the result, with a turnaround of around 2 days.
At £19, this single-marker testosterone test is the cheapest in our testosterone-test comparison group, where the next cheapest peer costs £29 and the group median is £47.13. It can be taken at home with a finger-prick sample, though Medichecks recommends a venous draw instead to avoid contamination from testosterone gels or creams, and as a single-marker test it only covers total testosterone rather than a wider hormone picture.
