If you’re experiencing symptoms associated with low testosterone, such as a decreased sex drive, increased body fat, or mood changes, or if you’re simply curious about your testosterone levels, Testosterone Test offers a convenient solution.
Our kit, suitable for both men and women, allows you to measure testosterone levels at home using saliva samples, a more comfortable alternative to blood tests. Simply collect three morning saliva samples and send them to our ISO-certified lab for analysis, focusing on free testosterone—the active hormones that interact with receptors in the body.
What is testosterone?
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone that regulates growth and development of masculine characteristics. It's produced in the testes, controlled by a feedback loop, and can be tested through a blood draw or finger-prick test kit. Hormones are chemical messengers that affect many bodily processes.
What affects testosterone levels?
Factors such as stress, diet, age, exercise, and alcohol can affect testosterone levels. Men's testosterone levels naturally decrease as they age, with a 40% drop in men in their 70s compared to men in their 20s. Eating well, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can help boost testosterone levels.
