High levels in women may be associated with irregular cycles, acne, increased body hair, or conditions such as PCOS
Measuring testosterone provides valuable insight into hormonal balance, fertility, and overall health.

Sample Collection
The sample is collected using a dry blood spot (DBS) method. You take a small blood sample via a finger prick at home and send it to the lab for analysis. This method is simple, safe, and minimally invasive.
When Should I Take the Test?
Testosterone levels follow a daily rhythm and are typically highest in the morning. For best accuracy, take the test between 07:00 and 10:00, preferably fasting.
Blood vs Saliva Testing
Blood test: Measures total testosterone, giving a full overview of hormone levels
Saliva test: Reflects free (active) testosterone
The most suitable option depends on whether you want to assess total hormone levels or the biologically active fraction.
ISO-Certified Lab and Analysis
Your sample is analyzed in an ISO-certified laboratory using Electro Chemiluminescence (ECLIA), a highly sensitive and reliable method for measuring hormone levels, ensuring accurate and dependable results.

Frequently asked questions
How does it work? / When do I get my results?
1. Order and receive your kit. 2. Perform the test. 3. Send a sample at the beginning of the week (to avoid delays). 4. Results digitally in 10–15 business days.
When is the best time of day to take the testosterone test?
Ideally, this test should be performed in the morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM. Testosterone levels are naturally at their highest during these hours and fluctuate throughout the day, so early collection provides the most standardized and accurate baseline.
Who should consider taking a testosterone blood test?

For women, symptoms may include irregular menstrual cycles, acne, or unexplained hair loss or growth. This test is relevant for anyone seeking to understand their energy levels and reproductive health.
Do I need to fast before taking the test?
No, this test does not require fasting. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise 24 hours before collection and ensuring you are well-hydrated to make the finger-prick collection easier.
