Blood test
Testosterone Plus
Your total testosterone and the free part of it, the testosterone your body can actually use.
What it is for
- Testosterone Plus
Why people check it
Much of the testosterone in the blood is bound to proteins; only the free part is available to the body's cells. Looking at both gives a much more precise picture than total testosterone alone. In men and women it plays a part in libido, fertility, muscle and bone mass, hair loss and mental wellbeing.
- Testosterone Plus
Who it is for
Anyone taking testosterone supplements or on hormone replacement, who needs to check regularly that levels stay where they should, and women keeping an eye on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). You can share the result with your doctor, who reads it alongside the rest of the picture.
- Signs

- Lower libido
- Tiredness or mood changes
- Muscle weakness
- Erection problems or difficulty conceiving
- In women: irregular periods or fertility concerns
