What does the test measure?
Total testosterone
Total testosterone includes both protein-bound and unbound testosterone in the blood. A value needs to be interpreted in conjunction with the time of sampling, symptoms, age, and sometimes SHBG and other hormone markers.
Common symptoms and when the test may be relevant
The test may be relevant if you experience symptoms associated with low or altered testosterone levels, or if you wish to monitor a previous value. A single result is not sufficient to diagnose testosterone deficiency.
The following symptoms may occur with hormonal imbalances but are non-specific and can have many other causes:
- reduced sex drive
- erectile dysfunction
- fatigue and low energy
- reduced muscle strength
- low mood or difficulty concentrating
A single laboratory value cannot explain symptoms or establish a diagnosis on its own.
Who is this test for?
- For those who want to measure their total testosterone level.
- For those experiencing symptoms and seeking information for further assessment.
- For those who want to track a previous result.
- For those who prefer home testing.

- Collect the sample. Prick your fingertip and collect liquid capillary blood in the provided collection tube.
- Send the sample. Label, seal, and pack the sample according to the instructions.

Before sample collection
Collect the sample in the morning, preferably between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM. Always follow the instructions included in the sample collection kit. In the event of an unexpectedly low value, healthcare professionals may recommend a repeat morning sample.
Laboratory and quality
The sample is analyzed at a medical laboratory accredited according to ISO 15189. The laboratory’s quality assurance also complies with Rili-BÄK, the German medical association's guideline for quality assurance in laboratory medical testing.
- Sample material: liquid capillary blood
- Collection site: at home
- Result: digital laboratory report
- Turnaround time: transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total time
Results and reference values
The result is displayed using the laboratory's units and current reference ranges. Hormone levels can be influenced by factors such as time of day, age, sex, menstrual cycle, medications, and individual circumstances. Always rely on the information provided in your specific test result.
Do you want a broader hormone profile?
Comprehensive Testosterone Lab Test measures total testosterone along with SHBG and LH.
Important information regarding the result
The test provides information about the analyzed marker but does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace medical assessment or treatment. Contact a healthcare provider in the event of clear or persistent symptoms, abnormal results, or concerns.
