Total Testosterone
Measures your overall testosterone levels, the primary male hormone responsible for muscle mass, energy, libido, and mood. Low levels can affect vitality, sexual function, and overall wellbeing.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
A protein that binds to testosterone in your blood. High SHBG can reduce the amount of usable testosterone available to your body, while low levels may indicate metabolic issues.
Free Androgen Index (Calculated)
Shows the ratio of testosterone to SHBG, indicating how much active testosterone is available for your body to use. This helps determine if you have enough usable testosterone despite your total levels.
Albumin
A key protein made by your liver that helps transport hormones and nutrients. Albumin levels also affect how much free testosterone is available in your bloodstream.
Free Testosterone (Calculated)
The amount of testosterone readily available to your tissues, not bound to proteins. This is often more important than total testosterone as it represents the hormone actively working in your body.
Triglycerides
A type of fat in your blood that indicates how your body processes energy from food. High levels increase cardiovascular risk and can be linked to lifestyle factors like diet and exercise.
Cholesterol (Total)
Measures all cholesterol in your blood. While cholesterol is essential for hormone production, elevated total cholesterol increases heart disease risk.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
All cholesterol types except the "good" HDL cholesterol. This marker gives a comprehensive view of potentially harmful cholesterol that can build up in arteries.
LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)
Often called "bad cholesterol," LDL can build up in artery walls, increasing heart attack and stroke risk. Lower levels are generally better for cardiovascular health.
HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)
Known as "good cholesterol," HDL removes excess cholesterol from your arteries and transports it to the liver. Higher levels are protective against heart disease.
Cholesterol: HDL Ratio
Compares total cholesterol to good cholesterol, providing insight into cardiovascular risk. A lower ratio indicates better heart health and cholesterol balance.
Magnesium
An important mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical processes in the body, including muscle function, nerve signalling, and energy production. Magnesium also plays a role in maintaining heart rhythm and bone health.
Phosphate
A mineral that works alongside calcium to support healthy bones, teeth, and energy production in the body. Phosphate levels also help assess kidney function and overall mineral balance.
