What it is for

  • Male Hormones

    Why people check it

    These hormones shape much of a man's physical, sexual and mental wellbeing. They start to fall after 30, and faster later in life, especially from 60. Whatever you decide about treatment, it starts with knowing and following your levels, and you can take your results to a doctor you trust, such as your GP.

    Can be done with a finger-prick kit at home, at a collection point or with home collection on request.
