A 5-marker testosterone panel calculating free and bioavailable testosterone from total testosterone, SHBG and albumin, suitable for men and women investigating hormone symptoms.
5 biomarkers as listed by Selph.
The Free and Bioavailable Testosterone Test measures total testosterone, SHBG and albumin, then uses these to calculate free testosterone. For women, the same markers are used to calculate the free androgen index (FAI) instead. Because testosterone is partly bound to proteins in the blood and partly free, calculating the free fraction gives a fuller picture than a total testosterone result alone.
Against the seven tests in its comparison group, its 5 markers are above the median of 4, and its £58 price is close to the £59 median. It matches Numan's Testosterone Blood Test almost exactly on price and marker count, while Medichecks' Free and Total Testosterone Blood Test covers 4 markers for £39, and Bluecrest Wellness' Male Testosterone Profile costs £119 for 4.
It scores highly on Clinical Depth, Collection Convenience and Trust Signals, the second reflecting the choice of finger-prick, Tasso EasyDraw, clinic or nurse draw with results in 1 to 2 days. value for money is more middling since it sits close to rather than below the group median.
This suits you whether you are male or female, since it calculates free testosterone or the free androgen index from the same panel. If you want the lowest-cost option and are comfortable with fewer markers, Medichecks' Free and Total Testosterone Blood Test covers 4 markers for £39, £19 less.
You can collect a sample at home with a finger-prick kit included in the price, or pay more for the Tasso EasyDraw device, a clinic visit or a nurse draw at home or work; a self-arranged venous draw is also included. A Selph doctor reviews your results and provides a written report, typically within 1 to 2 days.
This 5-marker testosterone panel costs £58, close to the £59 median for the seven tests in its comparison group, and its marker count is above the median of 4. It matches Numan's Testosterone Blood Test on both price and marker count, while Medichecks' Free and Total Testosterone test covers fewer markers for £39. It calculates the free androgen index for women as well as free testosterone for men, using the same panel.
