About this test

About this test

The Private MD Labs Free and Total Testosterone test is designed for users who want more depth than a basic testosterone check. By looking at both free and total testosterone, it is better suited to people who want more meaningful interpretation than a single headline number can provide.

Who is this test for?

This test is ideal for men who are comparing testosterone options more seriously, whether for hormone optimisation, symptom investigation, or better-informed follow-up. It is especially attractive for users who feel that simple consumer kits may be too limited.

How the test works

You use the provider’s testing pathway to collect and submit a blood sample, which is then analysed for both free and total testosterone. The result set provides better context than a single-value testosterone screen and is more useful for informed comparison.
