Hormone Supplement Efficacy Panel II -
(QUEST DIAGNOSTICS)Description: Efficacy in medicine, is the ability of an intervention or drug to reproduce a desired effect in expert hands and under ideal circumstances. This panel is to determine the influence certain compounds and plant extracts may have on specific hormone levels.
This testosterone test will also provide Total Testosterone results when the value is >1500 but <10,000.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
Includes: Comprehensive Metabolic Profile ( includes eGFR ): Albumin, Albumin/Globulin Ratio (calculated), Alkaline Phosphatase, ALT, AST, BUN/Creatinine Ratio (calculated), Calcium, Carbon Dioxide, Chloride, Creatinine with GFR Estimated, Globulin (calculated), Glucose, Potassium, Sodium, Total Bilirubin, Total Protein, Urea Nitrogen
Cortisol, Total
Dihydrotestosterone, (DHT) LC/MS/MS
Estradiol
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Prolactin
Sex Hormone binding Globulin, (SHBG)
Testosterone, Free and Total, LC/MS/MS (This testosterone test will also provide Total Testosterone results when the value is >1500 but <10,000.)
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroxine (T4) Total
Tri-iodothyronine (T3) Total
Patient Instructions: Patient should fast for 12 hours preceding collection of specimen. Fasting is defined as no consumption of food or beverage other than water for at least 12 hours before testing. If using a testosterone cream please be sure you have not rubbed any into the antecubital area of your arm for the last 24 hours as it can give elevated results. Assay not recommended when patient is on prednisone/prednisolone therapy due to cross reactivity with the antibody used in this assay (Cortisol, Total).
Estimated turnaround for results is 7 business days.
If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.

(LABCORP)Description: Efficacy in medicine, is the ability of an intervention or drug to reproduce a desired effect in expert hands and under ideal circumstances. This panel is to determine the influence certain compounds and plant extracts may have on specific hormone levels.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
Includes: Cortisol, serum
Estradiol
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
Prolactin
Sex Hormone binding Globulin, Serum (SHBG)
Testosterone, Free (Direct) With Total Testosterone, LC/MS-MS
Thyroxine (T4) Total
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Tri-iodothyronine (T3) Total
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP) (includes eGFR): (A:G ratio; albumin, serum; alkaline phosphatase, serum; ALT (SGPT); AST (SGOT); bilirubin, total; BUN; BUN:creatinine ratio; calcium, serum; carbon dioxide, total; chloride, serum; creatinine, serum; globulin, total; glucose, serum; potassium, serum; protein, total, serum; sodium, serum.)
Note: Actual Total Testosterone levels will be provided with this test if levels exceed 1500.
Patient Instructions: Patient should fast for 12 hours preceding collection of specimen. Some tests in this panel may exhibit interference when sample is collected from a person who is consuming a supplement with a high dose of biotin (also termed as vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H or coenzyme R). It is recommended to stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection of specimen. If using a testosterone cream please be sure you have not rubbed any into the antecubital area of your arm for the last 24 hours as it can give elevated results.
Estimated turnaround for results is 10 business days.
If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.
