Checks total and calculated free testosterone alongside LH, FSH, SHBG and albumin, giving a fuller picture of male hormone health than a total testosterone test alone. Suited to men with possible low testosterone symptoms such as low energy, low libido or difficulty building muscle.
7 biomarkers as listed by Selph.
The Male Hormone Blood Test measures seven markers: total and calculated free testosterone, luteinising hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index and albumin. Total testosterone shows your overall level, while SHBG and albumin let the lab estimate the free testosterone that's actually available to your body. LH and FSH indicate whether a low reading is more likely to originate in the testes or the pituitary gland, and the free androgen index gives a second view of how much active hormone you have.
Against the 15 tests in Selph's male hormone comparison group, this panel's seven markers sit just under the median of eight, and Medichecks' own Male Hormone Blood Test goes further with ten markers for £79. On price it undercuts that group, coming in at £65 against a median of £79, though cheaper options from Randox Health (from £46) and YorkTest (£55) also test eight markers each.
The test scores well for collection convenience and trust signals: it can be collected by finger-prick, clinic visit or a home nurse visit, and results are reviewed by a doctor within two days. Its value for money score benefits from sitting below the group median, while clinical depth reflects a marker count that is respectable but not the deepest available in this comparison group. The listing also scores well for clarity, publishing the full biomarker list, turnaround and collection options up front.
This suits men who want a broader first look at their hormone health, including a calculated free testosterone reading, without paying a premium. It's a reasonable choice if symptoms such as low libido, fatigue or difficulty building muscle point to a possible hormone imbalance. If your priority is the widest possible panel, Medichecks' Male Hormone Blood Test checks ten markers for £79, and if you mainly want to save money, Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw covers eight markers from £46.
You take the sample yourself with the included finger-prick kit, or upgrade to Tasso EasyDraw, a clinic visit, a home nurse visit or your own venous draw. Once your sample reaches Selph's lab, results are typically ready in one to two days and are reviewed by a Selph doctor before you receive your report.
This £65 panel checks total and calculated free testosterone alongside LH, FSH and SHBG, covering the core hormones men need without extras. It undercuts the £79 group median, though Medichecks' pricier equivalent packs 10 markers to its 7. Results are reviewed by a doctor within one to two days.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.

This test belongs to our Male hormone panel comparison group. See how it stacks up against equivalent tests from other providers.
Deepest male hormone panel in the group, at median price
A 10-marker panel covering testosterone, other reproductive hormones and the proteins that affect hormone availability. Suited to men investigating low energy, libido or mood changes.
10-marker panel, but Medichecks matches it for less
A 10-marker male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG, DHEAS, FSH, LH, prolactin and albumin, for a broader hormonal picture than a single testosterone test.
Cheapest at-home 8-hormone male panel in its group
An at-home finger-free blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, aimed at men wondering whether hormone levels could be behind low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Broadest male hormone panel we track, priciest too
A 12-marker panel covering testosterone, oestradiol, LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol and thyroid hormones, for men investigating symptoms like low libido, fatigue or mood changes.
10-marker hormone panel priced above the group median
A blood test covering testosterone, free testosterone, DHEA sulphate, SHBG and related hormones that affect energy, mood, libido and muscle and bone health in men. Suits men wanting a full hormone check rather than testosterone alone.
Below-median price, below-median depth male hormone panel
A 5-marker blood test measuring total and free testosterone, oestradiol, albumin and SHBG, giving more context on hormone balance than a total testosterone test alone. Aimed at men investigating symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Pricier and narrower than several rival male hormone panels
Checks total and free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, albumin and SHBG, aimed at monitoring hormone balance during testosterone replacement therapy.
Fast next-day results, £2 more than the at-home version
A clinic-based blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, for men wanting the same panel as the at-home Quickdraw kit but with faster results.
Same panel as Medichecks TRT test, £7.75 cheaper
A focused blood test that checks testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, prolactin and oestradiol after you've changed your TRT protocol, so your prescriber can see how your hormone levels have responded. Suited to men already on testosterone replacement therapy rather than those wanting a first, broader check.
Male hormone panel undercut only by Randox's own test
An at-home finger-prick test measuring eight male hormone markers, including testosterone, free testosterone, LH and FSH. Suited to men aged 20 and over investigating low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Costs more than every named peer in its group
This blood test covers testosterone, free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG, full blood count, PSA and albumin, aimed at men already on testosterone replacement therapy. It suits routine monitoring rather than an initial low-testosterone diagnosis.
5-marker hormone panel costing more than deeper peers
A budget-tier male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG and albumin, for men who want a slightly wider check than a single testosterone test.
Includes a GP consultation, but costs far more than peers
A 9-marker blood test covering testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, DHEA-S, oestradiol, prolactin and albumin, with a private GP consultation included. Suited to men investigating symptoms linked to low testosterone or hormonal changes.
Six-marker male hormone panel, priciest of its peers
A nurse-collected blood test covering six male hormone markers, including testosterone, free androgen index, LH, FSH and prolactin. Suited to men with symptoms such as low sex drive, fatigue or hair loss.
