The panel

Nine markers.
Hormones, energy, recovery, inflammation.

9 of 9 markers · see the full panel

Biomarker 01

Total testosterone

The total amount of testosterone in your blood. Your baseline. If this is low, everything else, energy, mood, drive, takes a hit.

Biomarker 02

SHBG

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin. It binds to testosterone and makes it unusable. High SHBG means your total T might look fine on paper while you still feel terrible.

Biomarker 03

Free Androgen Index

Your total testosterone expressed as a percentage of your SHBG. Reported for completeness, because it appears on lab reports you may be given elsewhere. In men we draw no conclusion from it: it tracks calculated free testosterone poorly. Your Free Testosterone result is the figure to work from.

Biomarker 04

Albumin

The main carrier protein in your blood. Testing albumin allows accurate calculation of Free Testosterone. Without it, the number is an estimate.

Biomarker 05

Free testosterone

The testosterone your body can actually use. Calculated from your Total T, SHBG, and Albumin. This is the number that matters most for how you feel day to day.

Biomarker 06

Vitamin D

Most UK men are deficient, especially October to March. Low vitamin D directly affects muscle function, recovery, and energy. You won't know without testing.

Biomarker 07

Active B12

Holotranscobalamin: the form of B12 your cells can actually use. Standard tests often miss deficiency. Low Active B12 affects energy, nerve function, and recovery between sessions.

Biomarker 08

hs-CRP (inflammation)

A high-sensitivity inflammation marker. In active men, elevated hs-CRP is often linked to joint and connective tissue stress, but it can have several causes. Your dashboard explains what your specific reading means.

Biomarker 09

Ferritin

Your iron stores. Low ferritin is one of the most common and most overlooked causes of fatigue in men. Often normal on a basic NHS panel. Rarely tested unless you ask for it specifically.

The next step

We don’t just give you numbers.

Nine markers means the widest set of recommendation pathways: both testosterone and deficiency patterns, with a specific route for each. Where a result needs a doctor, the report says so and says why.

Built for

The men’s health blood test your GP doesn’t offer.

The man who hasn't had a proper check-up in years and wants to know where he stands.

The man who isn't sure whether it's his testosterone, his energy, or something else entirely.

The man who wants one comprehensive test instead of guessing which single marker to check.

The man over 40 who knows something's shifted but can't pinpoint what.

If you’re not sure where to start, start here.

The founders

Built by men who needed it.
Backed by doctors who understand it.

Keith Antony

Founder

“I spent two years being told my levels were ‘normal for my age’ while feeling completely burnt out. I built this company because the standard approach is broken. We test first. Then you know exactly where you stand.”

Dr Ewa Lindo

Medical Director

“Normal ranges are statistical averages, not targets for how you should actually feel. I review our clinical protocols to ensure your data translates into effective, actionable steps.”

The same two rules

The full panel follows the same two rules.

Anything that needs a doctor goes to a GP and earns us nothing. And no result changes what we offer or what it costs.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does it hurt?

It's a quick prick on the fingertip. Most men say it's painless. We include extra lancets just in case.

How long do results take?

Most results are ready within 2 to 5 working days of the lab receiving your sample. Some can take a little longer, depending on sample quality, postal transit and lab workload.

Does the £179 cover everything?

Yes. The kit, the lab analysis for all nine biomarkers, the prepaid return postage, and access to your results dashboard are all included.

Is my data private?

Your results are private to you, in your own dashboard. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising. You choose who sees your numbers.

Why not just buy Kit 1 and Kit 2 separately?

You could. They'd cost £218 combined. Kit 3 gives you all nine markers for £179, with one sample instead of two. And testing everything together gives a more complete picture, which means better recommendations.

What if my testosterone comes back low?

Your report will explain what your level means and what to consider next. If your results indicate low testosterone, your next step is a conversation with a GP. That result earns us nothing.
