Testosterone
Your main androgen hormone.
Why it matters
Linked to energy, mood, libido and muscle for both men and women.
Track your hormonal balance with precision. This comprehensive testosterone assessment examines key biomarkers including sex hormone binding globulin, free androgen index, albumin, and free testosterone which are essential indicators for evaluating androgen status and identifying potential deficiencies. Understanding these metrics empowers informed decisions about your health management and treatment options.

The panel covers total testosterone alongside SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), which together give the free androgen index. This is a more useful clinical picture than total testosterone alone. Read more in our testosterone glossary entry.
Many people on testosterone replacement therapy use this panel to track total testosterone levels over time. Chxhealth is a biomarker and genetic data provider. We do not diagnose, treat or prescribe. For medical advice, please speak to a qualified healthcare professional. Any TRT decisions should be made with the clinician managing your treatment.
