Testosterone plays a vital role in energy levels, muscle strength, mood, fertility, and sexual health. Low testosterone (sometimes called “Low T”) can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, reduced strength, weight changes, or decreased libido.
Our Free & Total Testosterone Blood Test measures both:
-
Total testosterone – the overall level circulating in your bloodstream.
-
Free testosterone – the active form available for your body to use.
By assessing both, you will gain a clearer understanding of your hormone balance and how it may be affecting your health and well-being. This test is ideal for anyone experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, exploring fertility concerns, or monitoring hormone therapy.
It's easy and simple to use.

Biomarkers
Total Testosterone
Total testosterone measures the overall amount of testosterone in your bloodstream. Low levels can contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, reduced muscle mass, poor concentration, and mood changes. This marker provides a broad view of your hormone status and is essential for identifying testosterone deficiency.
Biomarkers
Free Testosterone
Free testosterone represents the small fraction of testosterone that is active and available for the body to use. Even if total testosterone is normal, low free testosterone can cause symptoms because the body doesn’t have enough usable hormone. This is one of the most important markers for understanding energy, libido, strength, and metabolic health.
Biomarkers
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
SHBG is a protein that binds to testosterone and controls how much of it is free and biologically active. High SHBG reduces available testosterone, while low SHBG increases it. Measuring SHBG helps explain why someone may experience low-testosterone symptoms even with normal total levels.
Biomarkers
Albumin
Albumin is another protein that binds testosterone. While testosterone bound to albumin is less active, it can still become available when the body needs it. Albumin levels are crucial for accurately calculating free testosterone, ensuring a precise and clinically meaningful assessment of hormone balance.
Why These Biomarkers Matter To You
These markers show how much testosterone your body produces and how much is truly active and available. Together, they help explain symptoms like low energy, reduced libido, poor recovery, and changes in mood or muscle strength, giving you a clearer picture of your overall hormone balance.
