Men's Hormone Test: Hormones Analyzed
Testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, is essential for regulating libido, muscle mass, and bone density. Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, reflects the body's response to stress and impacts energy levels and immune function. DHEA, a precursor to sex hormones, plays a role in producing other essential hormones. Progesterone, although typically considered a female hormone, is important in men for balancing the effects of estrogen and maintaining a healthy prostate. Lastly, Estrogen (specifically estradiol, E2), often associated with female reproductive health, is also present in men and vital for healthy bones and emotional well-being.
DHEA's Role and Importance
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), or androstenolone, converts into both testosterone and estrogen. Recognized as a powerful hormone, it enhances performance in high doses. DHEA peaks in our 20s, then declines post-30. It influences mental and physical performance, energy, memory, muscle mass, skin health, body odor, bone mass, and puberty development, contributing to youthfulness and health.
Testosterone's Functions
Testosterone fuels energy, endurance, muscle strength, and libido. Low testosterone in men can lead to erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle strength, anxiety, depression, and low energy. Conversely, excessive testosterone might cause aggression.
Understanding Cortisol Levels
This test measures your morning cortisol levels. For a full-day cortisol profile, choose the Cortisol Test, taken 7 times a day. Cortisol, produced in the adrenal glands during stress, enhances physical and mental performance in acute stress situations. Both excessively high and low levels are problematic.
Progesterone in Men
Men require progesterone for testosterone production. Low progesterone can lead to symptoms like low libido, reduced sperm quality, depression, decreased muscle mass, fatigue, and poor memory, also negatively impacting sleep.
Measuring Estrogen in Men
Men have estrogen in smaller amounts. High estrogen levels can cause gynecomastia, erectile dysfunction, infertility, depression, and headaches/migraines.
How the Men's Hormone Test Works
You perform this saliva test at home twice in one day. Take the first sample immediately upon waking and the second 30 minutes later. Send the samples to our lab for analysis. You'll receive digital results.

The Role of Hormones
Progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol each play unique roles in the body, affecting everything from brain function to stress response.
Who Should Take This Test?
This test is ideal if you want a comprehensive view of your hormones, including cortisol. Men should opt for the Men's Hormone Test.
Common Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalances
You might experience mood swings, depression, PMS, irregular periods, PCOS, infertility, menopausal symptoms, endometriosis, low libido, tender breasts, heavy periods, brain fog, impaired memory, weight gain, osteoporosis, vaginal dryness, headaches, and loose stools before and during menstruation, among other symptoms.
DHEA: A Versatile HormoneDehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), or androstenolone, is a hormone that converts into both testosterone and estrogen. It's so potent that excessive doses classify as performance-enhancing drugs. DHEA peaks in our 20s and then gradually declines post-30. It boosts mental and physical performance, energy, memory, muscle mass, skin quality, body odor, bone mass, and puberty development, while keeping us young and healthy.
Cortisol: The Stress HormoneOur test measures your morning cortisol levels. For diurnal cortisol measurement, we recommend the Cortisol Test, taken 7 times throughout the day. Cortisol, a stress hormone from the adrenal glands, boosts physical and mental performance in stressful situations. Both high and low levels can be problematic.
Estrogen: Key to FertilityThe Women's Hormone Test measures estradiol (E2) and its ratio to progesterone. Estradiol, the most crucial estrogen, is known as the fertility hormone in women.
Progesterone: More Than a Sex HormoneProgesterone, primarily a female sex hormone, influences fertility and is a precursor to sex hormones testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol. It's vital for the central nervous system. Its levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle and increase post-ovulation.
Testosterone in WomenThough often seen as a male hormone, women need testosterone for energy, libido, and muscle building. Women with PCOS often have higher testosterone levels.
How to Take the Women's Hormone Test
Perform this saliva test at home by taking two samples: one immediately after waking up and another 30 minutes later. If menstruating, collect samples a week post-ovulation, around day 21. In or post-menopause, timing is more flexible. After collection, send the samples to our lab. You will receive your results online.
