The Comprehensive Hormone Test from Verisana is designed to provide hormone-focused insight for users who need more context than a very basic screening result. It is best understood as part of the broader hormone comparison journey, where panel depth, convenience, and follow-up value all matter.
Who is this test for?
This test is suitable for users who want broader hormone insight than a narrow single-marker screen and need more context for comparison or follow-up.
How the test works
You follow the provider’s normal collection pathway and the sample is analysed by the laboratory. Results are then returned through the provider’s reporting flow, giving users a structured basis for comparison and potential next steps.

Cons

A single blood test for sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), a protein that carries sex hormones around the body and can be raised or lowered by a range of conditions and medications.
Multiple collection options, priced in line with rivals
Measures cortisol, the body's main stress hormone, as an initial check when adrenal function or chronic stress is a concern. Suits anyone advised to start with a basic cortisol check.
Same single DHEA-S marker as Medichecks, at a higher price
This test measures DHEA sulphate, a hormone your body converts into testosterone and oestrogen. It suits anyone investigating low energy, mood or hormone balance who wants a single, targeted marker rather than a full panel.
