What's included in the test?

This test includes a total of 9 Health Markers.

  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

    Female: In females, FSH helps control the menstrual cycle and the production of eggs by the ovaries.

    Male: In males, follicle stimulating hormone helps control the production and maintenance of sperm cells.

  • Luteinising Hormone (LH)

    Female: In females, LH stimulates the ovaries to produce oestradiol, triggering ovulation and development of the corpus luteum.

    Male: In males, Luteinising hormone stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, which acts locally to support sperm production.

  • Oestradiol (E2)

    Female: In females, oestradiol interacts with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to control the development of the follicle, ovulation and the menstrual cycle.

    Male: Oestradiol is a form of oestrogen, in men it is essential for modulating libido, erectile function, and spermatogenesis.

  • Progesterone

    Female: Progesterone is a sex hormone produced in the adrenal glands and ovaries, it plays an important role in regulating menstruation and pregnancy.

    Male: Progesterone is a sex hormone produced by adrenal glands and testes in males, necessary for spermatogenesis binds testosterone

  • Prolactin

    Female: Prolactin is a hormone responsible for lactation, breast development, and hundreds of other actions needed to maintain normal bodily function.

    Male: Prolactin is a sex hormone produced by the pituitary gland, typically exists in low levels in men.

  • Total Testosterone

    Female: Testosterone is produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands, it regulates many bodily processes including: fertility, libido, muscle mass, fat distribution.

    Male: Testosterone is produced in the testes and adrenal glands, it regulates fertility, muscle mass, strength, libido, fat distribrution.

  • Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)

    Female: Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein that transports androgens and oestrogens in the blood and regulates their access to target tissues.

    Male: Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein that transports androgens and oestrogens in the blood and regulates their access to target tissues.

     

  • Free Testosterone

    Free testosterone is the portion of testosterone in the blood that is not bound to proteins such as sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) or albumin. It represents the biologically active form of testosterone that can enter cells and exert effects on tissues.

  • Free Androgen Index

    Free Androgen Index (FAI) is a calculated ratio of total testosterone to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), used to estimate the amount of biologically active (free) testosterone available in the body.
