Hormones
23 markers in this category
17-OH Progesterone
17-OH Progesterone is a precursor steroid hormone essential for producing cortisol and androgens like testosterone. For men, monitoring this marker may provide insight into adrenal function and androgen production pathways.
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
ACTH is a pituitary hormone that directs your adrenal glands to produce cortisol. For men, ACTH levels may reflect how your body handles physical and mental stress, directly influencing energy and hormonal balance.
Androstenedione
Androstenedione is a key precursor hormone that your body converts into testosterone. For men, monitoring this marker may offer direct insight into your testosterone production pathway and overall androgenic hormone balance.
Calcitonin
Calcitonin is a thyroid hormone that helps regulate calcium and bone metabolism. For men, monitoring calcitonin may provide insight into thyroid C-cell health and calcium balance, supporting a complete picture of your hormonal status.
Cortisol
Cortisol is the primary stress hormone that influences energy, metabolism, and recovery. For men, chronic elevation may affect testosterone production and body composition.
DHEA-S
DHEA-S is an adrenal androgen precursor that supports testosterone production. Monitoring helps men assess adrenal reserve and age-related hormonal decline.
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
DHT is the most potent androgen in men, influencing hair patterns, prostate health, and sexual function. Monitoring supports a comprehensive picture of androgenic health.
Dopamine (Urine)
Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter influencing motivation, focus, and drive. This urine test measures overall dopamine production, supporting a comprehensive assessment of men's neurological and adrenal health.
Estradiol (E2)
Estradiol (E2) is the primary estrogen in men, influencing bone density, libido, and cardiovascular health. While often associated with women, balanced estradiol levels are essential for men's wellbeing. Your healthcare provider can help interpret your results.
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) regulates sperm production and testicular function in men. It is produced by the pituitary gland and works alongside LH and testosterone. Abnormal levels may indicate issues with fertility or hormonal regulation worth discussing with your provider.
Free Testosterone
Free testosterone is the unbound fraction that directly fuels muscle growth, energy, libido, and mental sharpness in men. It may provide a clearer picture of your androgen status than total testosterone alone. Your healthcare provider can help evaluate your results.
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor)
IGF-1 is a key growth factor that may influence muscle development, recovery, and overall vitality in men. Monitoring this marker can provide insight into your body's repair and growth capacity.
IGF-BP3
IGF-BP3 is the primary carrier protein for IGF-1 and plays a role in regulating growth factor activity. For men, understanding IGF-BP3 levels alongside IGF-1 can help assess muscle maintenance, recovery potential, and overall vitality.
Inhibin B
Inhibin B is a key marker of testicular function in men. Produced by Sertoli cells, it reflects the health of sperm production and may provide important insight into male fertility and gonadal health.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
LH is a pituitary hormone that directly stimulates testosterone production in men. Monitoring LH levels can help assess whether your testosterone output is being adequately supported by the pituitary gland.
Melatonin
Melatonin is the body's primary sleep hormone, and quality sleep is fundamental to men's health, including testosterone production, muscle recovery, and mental sharpness. Monitoring melatonin can help assess your sleep health.
PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium and phosphorus in the blood and plays a key role in bone strength. For men, balanced PTH levels may support skeletal integrity and overall mineral metabolism.
Parathyroid Hormone (intact)
Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium balance, which is essential for bone strength, muscle function, and nerve signalling in men. Monitoring PTH can help assess whether your calcium metabolism supports an active, strong physique.
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is the foundational precursor for testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol production in men. Understanding your pregnenolone levels can help assess the raw material available for maintaining optimal male hormone balance.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a pituitary hormone that, when elevated in men, may suppress testosterone production and affect libido and energy. Monitoring prolactin is important for understanding your complete hormonal picture.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a liver protein that transports testosterone and estrogen. For men, SHBG levels directly influence how much free testosterone is available, which may affect energy, libido, and body composition.
Serotonin
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, sleep quality, and digestive health. For men, balanced serotonin levels may support emotional resilience, restful sleep, and overall mental well-being.
Total Testosterone
Total testosterone is the primary male hormone, essential for muscle development, bone strength, energy, and reproductive health. For men, monitoring testosterone levels may help identify changes that affect vitality and overall well-being.
