Men's Hormone Test: Hormones Analyzed
Testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, is essential for regulating libido, muscle mass, and bone density. Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, reflects the body's response to stress and impacts energy levels and immune function. DHEA, a precursor to sex hormones, plays a role in producing other essential hormones. Progesterone, although typically considered a female hormone, is important in men for balancing the effects of estrogen and maintaining a healthy prostate. Lastly, Estrogen (specifically estradiol, E2), often associated with female reproductive health, is also present in men and vital for healthy bones and emotional well-being.
DHEA's Role and Importance
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), or androstenolone, converts into both testosterone and estrogen. Recognized as a powerful hormone, it enhances performance in high doses. DHEA peaks in our 20s, then declines post-30. It influences mental and physical performance, energy, memory, muscle mass, skin health, body odor, bone mass, and puberty development, contributing to youthfulness and health.
Testosterone's Functions
Testosterone fuels energy, endurance, muscle strength, and libido. Low testosterone in men can lead to erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle strength, anxiety, depression, and low energy. Conversely, excessive testosterone might cause aggression.
Understanding Cortisol Levels
This test measures your morning cortisol levels. For a full-day cortisol profile, choose the Cortisol Test, taken 7 times a day. Cortisol, produced in the adrenal glands during stress, enhances physical and mental performance in acute stress situations. Both excessively high and low levels are problematic.
Progesterone in Men
Men require progesterone for testosterone production. Low progesterone can lead to symptoms like low libido, reduced sperm quality, depression, decreased muscle mass, fatigue, and poor memory, also negatively impacting sleep.
Measuring Estrogen in Men
Men have estrogen in smaller amounts. High estrogen levels can cause gynecomastia, erectile dysfunction, infertility, depression, and headaches/migraines.
How the Men's Hormone Test Works
You perform this saliva test at home twice in one day. Take the first sample immediately upon waking and the second 30 minutes later. Send the samples to our lab for analysis. You'll receive digital results.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
