Advice for Hormone Testing
Hormones play a central role in energy, mood, libido, muscle mass, and overall wellbeing. Testosterone is one of the most commonly tested hormones, particularly in men experiencing symptoms that may be linked to low levels.
Our Hormone Testing service currently offers testosterone testing, with a choice of two convenient at-home collection methods:
- Finger Prick Kit a quick, simple sample taken from your fingertip
- Tasso / Autodraw Kit a needle-free device applied to your upper arm that gently draws a blood sample
Both collection methods are analysed to the same laboratory standard, so you can choose whichever suits you best. Your results are reviewed by our clinical team and made available securely online.

This test measures Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone, giving a picture of how much testosterone is circulating in your blood and how much is available for your body to use.
Both use the same lab analysis, so your results are equally reliable. Finger Prick uses a small lancet on your fingertip. Tasso uses a small device on your upper arm that gently draws a liquid blood sample without a finger prick, which some people find more comfortable.
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many essential functions in the body, including energy, mood, metabolism, and sexual health. When hormone levels move outside a healthy range, it can affect how you feel and function day to day.
Many symptoms linked to hormone imbalance, such as fatigue, low mood, or reduced libido, can also be caused by other factors, making it difficult to know the cause without testing. A hormone test gives a clear, measurable picture of your levels, helping to identify whether hormones may be contributing to how you feel.
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, and can also be affected by lifestyle, certain medical conditions, and some medications. Many people with low testosterone are unaware of it until they test, as symptoms can develop gradually.
You don't need to fast, but it can help. Testosterone levels can drop slightly after eating, so fasting overnight (water is fine) supports a more accurate reading, alongside taking your sample in the morning.
