Component Index

What Is Included?

This profile provides a comprehensive evaluation of the hormonal pathways driving male vitality, energy, and metabolic health.

Primary Androgens

Evaluates the total amount of the primary male sex hormone, alongside the specific proportion that is biologically active and available for your body to use.

Testosterone (Total)
Testosterone Free Calculated
Free Androgen Index (FAI)
Clinical focus:
Diagnosing core testosterone deficiency affecting vitality, muscle mass, and libido.

Regulatory Hormones

Assesses the pituitary gland’s signals that control testosterone production and fertility, plus vital adrenal gland output.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
DHEA-S
Clinical focus:
Pinpointing whether low testosterone is caused by testicular issues or brain signaling problems.

Transport & Metabolism

Measures the primary proteins produced by the liver that bind to sex hormones in the bloodstream, restricting their active availability.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Albumin
Clinical focus:
Understanding why men with normal total testosterone might still experience severe deficiency symptoms.

Understanding Total vs. Free Testosterone

A standard testosterone test only shows the total amount of the hormone in your blood. However, most of this is bound to proteins like SHBG and Albumin, rendering it biologically inactive. This profile calculates your Free Testosterone and Free Androgen Index (FAI), which represent the fraction of the hormone your body can actually use—providing a much more accurate picture of your true hormonal health and the causes of andropause symptoms.

Pathology Reports

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.

Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within just 4 hours. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.

Most Searched Online Questions About Andropause

What is andropause?
Often referred to as “male menopause,” andropause involves a gradual decline in testosterone and other hormonal changes that can affect energy levels, mood, and overall well-being in aging men.
What is free testosterone?
Free testosterone is the amount of active testosterone available in your blood that is not bound to proteins, making it immediately usable by your body’s tissues.
What is DHEA-S?
DHEA-S is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to sex hormones. It plays a significant role in maintaining optimal hormone balance.
What is SHBG?
Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced by the liver that binds tightly to testosterone. High levels of SHBG can reduce the amount of free testosterone available to your body.
What are the common symptoms of andropause?
Common symptoms include a decrease in libido, persistent fatigue, mood swings, depression, poor concentration, and a loss of muscle mass or strength.
