POSITIONING

Different tests for different questions.

Numan launched in 2018 as a UK men's-health platform. The model is a vertical stack: a customer who wants to investigate low energy, low libido or erectile dysfunction takes a hormone panel, the result is reviewed by a clinician, and where appropriate a prescription is issued — testosterone replacement therapy, ED treatments (sildenafil, tadalafil), or weight-loss medication (GLP-1 receptor agonists, where indicated). The testing is the front door to the prescription pathway.

The Numan flow is well-suited to the customer who has a specific men's-health concern and wants to investigate it inside a regulated framework with a route to treatment. The clinician review and the prescription pathway are the differentiating value: the platform handles the testing, the clinical review, the prescription, and (where applicable) the ongoing monitoring of the treatment response. For testosterone replacement specifically, this is a regulated treatment that requires clinician oversight, and Numan's vertical integration is built for that.

Helvy offers 6 fixed blood tests at one-off prices of £99 to £129. Choose a test by the markers you want to understand. Find my test helps you narrow the existing catalogue; it does not build a custom panel.

THE LONG VERSION

Coverage, collection and the report.

Numan is built around a single insight: the gap between a private blood test and a treatment is often where customers lose the value. A customer who tests their testosterone and discovers it is low has a clinical question, not a wellness question, and the answer involves a GP, a clinician review, and potentially a prescription. Numan vertically integrates that path: the testing front door is wired to a clinical review service and, where appropriate, a prescription pathway. For testosterone replacement therapy specifically, this is the right shape — TRT is a regulated treatment that requires clinician oversight and ongoing monitoring, and Numan's stack handles that end-to-end.

The Numan customer journey starts with a quiz that routes to a hormone panel (for testosterone and ED concerns) or a weight-loss assessment (for GLP-1 candidates). The panel is shipped, the sample is collected at home (finger-prick) or at a clinic (venous), the result is reviewed by a Numan clinician. Where the result and the symptom picture support it, a prescription is issued and the customer is enrolled in an ongoing treatment programme with monitoring panels at three- and six-month intervals.

Each test includes a finger-prick collection kit, prepaid return, laboratory analysis and results in your Helvy account. The report shows each marker, its range and an explanation of what it reflects. Explore the example report before you choose.

If you want the broad first look, that is Energy and Wellness at 17 markers, £129. If you are not sure which panel answers your question, Find my test.

WHEN NUMAN IS THE RIGHT CHOICE

If you want a route into TRT or ED treatment.

Numan is the right choice if you are a man investigating low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, or weight loss with the intent of accessing a clinician review and (where indicated) a prescription. The Numan stack is vertically integrated for that pathway: the testing front door, the clinical review, the prescription, the ongoing monitoring. For testosterone replacement therapy specifically, this is a regulated treatment that requires clinician oversight, and Numan's stack is built for that.

If your starting question is closer to "do I qualify for TRT" than "what do my results mean and what should I do about them", Numan answers the first question. The platform is designed to route a positive result into a treatment, and the customer journey is built around that. For ED treatments and GLP-1 weight-loss assessments, the same logic applies: the platform is built to route from testing to treatment inside a regulated framework.

NUMAN STRENGTHS

Honest framing of where Numan is the better fit. Helvy is not always the right choice; the comparison should answer that honestly.
