Hormones

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.

Hormones

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)

SHBG is a protein that binds testosterone and oestradiol and carries them through your blood. Whatever is bound to it cannot reach your tissue. SHBG therefore decides how much of your total testosterone is actually working. That is why a single number so often falls short. A low SHBG drags the total down while free testosterone stays normal. A high SHBG holds the total up while the free fraction falls. In men a low SHBG is also a finding in its own right. It usually points to excess weight or insulin resistance. The reference range rises with age as well. A low result is therefore easily missed after fifty.

Hormones

DHEA-S

DHEA-S is an adrenal androgen precursor that supports testosterone production. Monitoring helps men assess adrenal reserve and age-related hormonal decline.

Tumor Markers

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)

PSA is the cornerstone of prostate health monitoring for men. Regular monitoring enables meaningful trend analysis that supports informed decisions about your men's health.

Learn more
Hormones

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.

Vitamins

Vitamin D (25-OH)

Your vitamin D levels show how much vitamin D you have in store. In the Netherlands that mostly reflects the sun of the past few months. Do you train indoors and work indoors? Do you commute in the dark? Then a low result in February says nothing about your effort. The number follows your exposure, not your discipline. The cut-off also differs between laboratories. Read your result next to the range printed on your own report.

Minerals

Ferritin

In men the ferritin level points in two directions, and both are often misread. A low ferritin in a man has no obvious explanation: the monthly blood loss that is the most common cause in women is absent here. A reduced store therefore always warrants investigation into where the iron is being lost, usually in the gastrointestinal tract. Conversely, a raised ferritin is often read as a well-filled iron store, when far more often it involves alcohol, fatty liver, excess weight or inflammation. Only with a raised transferrin saturation alongside does iron overload genuinely come into view.

Thyroid

Free T4 (Thyroxine)

Free T4 is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland and may play an important role in men's metabolic rate, energy levels, and body composition. Some healthcare providers suggest that optimal T4 supports male hormonal balance and physical performance.

Hormones

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.

Vitamins

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is considered vital for red blood cell production, nerve health, and energy metabolism in men. Low levels may contribute to fatigue and reduced performance. Healthcare providers can help determine if your levels are optimal.
