The main androgen circulating in your blood, most of it carried bound to proteins. It peaks in the early morning and falls through the day.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
Free testosterone (calculated)
The fraction of your testosterone that is not bound to carrier proteins, calculated from your total testosterone, SHBG and albumin.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
SHBG
The protein that binds testosterone and oestrogen in the blood and decides how much is left free. It moves with thyroid hormone, insulin and the contraceptive pill.
A result needs context. Read it alongside your other results and discuss concerns with your GP.
LH
A pituitary hormone that triggers ovulation in women and signals the testes to make testosterone in men.

The ratio of your total testosterone to SHBG, used as a rough read of how much androgen is left unbound.

Before you begin
A few things
worth knowing.
Is this the right place to start?
Choose this panel when you want testosterone alongside the other included hormone markers. Results vary with timing and circumstances; one reading cannot establish the cause of symptoms.
What should I know before taking my sample?
Follow the collection and preparation instructions supplied with your kit. Register your sample and record the collection time before returning it for analysis. If you take medication, ask your clinician about testing; do not stop prescribed medication for a test.
What can this test tell me?
It gives you a snapshot of the markers included in this panel. One result outside a range does not on its own mean something is medically wrong. Speak to your GP about persistent or concerning symptoms.
How will I see my results?
Your blood test results are displayed in your Helvy account. You can explore the sample report on this page to see an illustrative example before you order.
What are the limits of this panel?
Testosterone changes through the day. Poor sleep, illness and heavy training can also affect hormone levels. Follow the sample-timing instructions supplied with your kit; one reading needs context.
