About this test

The panel measures 39 markers across several areas: reproductive hormones such as oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone, FSH and LH; bone health markers including calcium, parathyroid hormone and phosphate; a cholesterol profile; thyroid function; iron status; vitamin B12 and folic acid; and physical measurements such as blood pressure, weight and waist and hip circumference. Randox groups these together because the hormonal shifts around menopause are linked to wider changes in bone density and cardiovascular risk, not just the more familiar symptoms like hot flushes.

We do not yet have other menopause tests in our comparison set to benchmark this one against directly, so we cannot say how its price or depth compares with alternatives on the market. Looked at against the menopause tests we do track, 39 biomarkers place it at the top of the range we have assessed for clinical depth.

The score is driven up by that clinical depth and by clear documentation, since Randox publishes the full marker list, sample type and turnaround. It is held back by results and follow-up, because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, and its value for money score reflects that £154 has not yet been benchmarked against comparable tests, rather than being judged expensive or cheap outright.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you are approaching or going through menopause and want a wide single test covering hormones alongside bone, heart and thyroid-related markers, rather than booking several separate tests. It can work well as a starting point for a conversation with your GP about symptoms such as hot flushes, mood changes or irregular periods.

If you only want to check core menopause hormones without the wider panel, or you want your results talked through by a doctor as part of the service, this may be more than you need, since Randox does not include doctor review here as standard.

How it works

You attend a clinic for a venous blood draw, which Randox sends to its lab for analysis of the 39 markers in the panel, including hormones, bone health, cholesterol, thyroid, iron and physical measurements such as blood pressure and weight. The provider states results are returned within 24 hours of the sample reaching the lab. Doctor review is not stated as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 39 markers in one test, spanning hormones, bone, cholesterol, thyroid and iron status.
  • Results returned within 24 hours of the sample reaching the lab.
  • Randox lists all 39 markers along with the sample type and turnaround.
  • Includes physical measurements such as blood pressure, weight and waist-to-hip ratio.

Cons

  • At £154, one of the pricier tests in the range; we have no direct peers yet to benchmark it against.
  • Requires a clinic appointment for a venous blood draw.
  • Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, despite the panel's 39 markers.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score 39-marker menopause panel, no doctor review as standard
Editorial confidence: 9.0/10

A broad menopause blood test, this covers 39 markers, from core hormones like oestradiol, FSH and testosterone to bone health, cholesterol, thyroid, iron and general measurements such as blood pressure and weight. At £154 it is priced for its breadth rather than to compete on price, and the biggest gap is that results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
