Maintaining hormonal balance is critical for men to maximise their vitality and performance. However, around 1 in 20 adult men have hormone disorders. Becoming more common with age, many men are not aware that hormonal problems may be affecting their lives.

The Male Hormone Profile offers an in-depth analysis of key hormones that influence male physiology, performance, vitality, overall well-being, and long-term health.

This test includes Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which regulate the production of testosterone; Testosterone, the primary male sex hormone; the Free Androgen Index (FAI), an estimate of the amount of bioavailable testosterone; Prolactin, a hormone that can influence sexual satisfaction and immune system function; and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), which controls the amount of free, active hormones in the body.

Disruptions in these hormones can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, low sex drive, weight gain, mood disturbances, and sleep disruptions. By understanding your personal hormone profile, and monitoring changes over time, you can work with healthcare practitioners to personalise lifestyle, nutrition, and fitness regimes for optimal health, performance, and longevity.

Markers Included In The Test

Free Androgen Index: The Free Androgen Index (FAI) is a ratio calculated from the total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels in your blood. It provides an estimate of the amount of testosterone freely available in your body to interact with cells and tissues. An elevated FAI may indicate conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women, characterized by excess androgen activity, and can also be associated with male hypogonadism, a condition where the body doesn't produce enough testosterone.

FSH: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in reproductive health. In women, it stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles and regulates the menstrual cycle, while in men, it aids in sperm production. Abnormal levels of FSH can signal reproductive issues such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome in women, and impaired sperm production in men.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in regulating the reproductive system. In women, high levels can indicate polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or menopause, while in men, it stimulates the production of testosterone and can signal issues with the testes if levels are abnormal.

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin): Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein that regulates the availability of certain hormones in your body, including testosterone and estrogen. High levels of SHBG can limit hormone availability, which may result in symptoms such as fatigue, sexual dysfunction, and mood changes. Conversely, low SHBG levels can lead to an excess of certain hormones, potentially causing conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women or excessive testosterone symptoms in men.

Testosterone: Testosterone is a crucial hormone in the body, playing a significant role in men's health. Primarily produced in the testes, it's responsible for maintaining muscle strength, bone density, and sex drive. However, testosterone levels naturally decrease with age, and a significant drop can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and reduced physical performance.

Prolactin: Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a role in over 300 separate functions, including immune regulation. Elevated levels in both sexes can lead to symptoms such as reduced sex drive and erectile dysfunction, while in women it can cause menstrual irregularities, infertility, and lactation in non-pregnant women.
