This test is ideal if you're experiencing low energy, decreased muscle mass, reduced sex drive, mood changes, or difficulty concentrating. It helps identify whether your testosterone levels might be contributing to these symptoms by measuring both total and free testosterone using highly accurate LC/MS/MS technology. Many men use this test when they suspect hormonal imbalance is affecting their vitality, performance, or overall well-being.
If you're using a testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inside of your elbow area for at least 24 hours before your blood draw, as this can artificially elevate your results. No fasting is required for this test. Results typically take about 7 business days, though confirmation testing may extend this timeframe if needed.
This test measures both Free Testosterone and Total Testosterone to give you a complete picture of your hormone status. Free testosterone is the active form available for your body to use, while total testosterone represents all testosterone in your blood. Together, these measurements help identify whether low energy, reduced muscle mass, or other symptoms are hormone-related and can reveal issues that might be missed by testing total testosterone alone.
What this means
Your total testosterone level is in the lower range, which may contribute to symptoms like fatigue, reduced motivation, or difficulty building muscle. While this level is not critically low, optimizing it could help improve your energy, mood, and overall vitality.
