A single blood test measuring total testosterone, a hormone linked to sex drive, energy, mood, fertility and muscle mass in both men and women. Suited to anyone wanting a straightforward first check on their testosterone level.
1 biomarker as listed by Selph.
The Testosterone Blood Test measures total testosterone, the main androgen hormone in both men and women, produced mainly in the testes in men and the adrenal glands and ovaries in women. Total testosterone gives an overall picture of your level, though it doesn't distinguish the free, biologically active portion, which needs the SHBG and albumin measurements included in Selph's Male Hormone Blood Test.
Among the seven single-marker testosterone tests in this comparison group, Selph's £49 price sits just above the £47.13 median. Medichecks charges £19 for the same single marker, and Forth and London Medical Laboratory also come in cheaper, at £29 and £39 respectively, while Better2Know's pricier listing reaches £135 for the same test.
Because this is a single-marker test, its clinical depth score reflects that it measures exactly what it's designed to, rather than being marked down for narrow coverage. Collection convenience and trust signals both score highly, covering multiple collection routes and a doctor-reviewed report, while the value for money score is only middling given the range of cheaper alternatives in this group.
This suits anyone who wants a simple, one-off check on their total testosterone level, for example to track a symptom such as low energy or reduced sex drive over time. If you want free testosterone included as well, Selph's own Male Hormone Blood Test adds this along with LH, FSH and SHBG for £65. If price is your main concern, Medichecks tests the same single marker for £19.
You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home using the included kit, or choose Tasso EasyDraw, a clinic visit, a home nurse visit or your own venous draw at extra cost. 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 £49 test checks total testosterone only, without the free testosterone calculation available on Selph's own Male Hormone Blood Test. It's priced slightly above the £47.13 median for the seven testosterone tests we compare, with Medichecks charging as little as £19 for the same single marker. Results are reviewed by a doctor within one to two days.
