Free Testosterone Test
The Free Testosterone Test measures the level of testosterone in your blood that is not bound to proteins—this “free” form is biologically active and readily available for your body to use. Unlike total testosterone tests, which include both bound and unbound hormone, this test provides a more accurate reflection of the hormone actually affecting your tissues.
Why It Matters:
Free testosterone plays a vital role in numerous body functions, including:
-
Sexual health and libido
-
Muscle mass and strength
-
Mood and mental clarity
-
Bone density
-
Energy levels
-
Fertility and reproductive function
Low free testosterone levels may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, mood swings, and infertility. In women, abnormal levels may be linked to conditions like PCOS or irregular menstrual cycles.
Who Should Consider This Test:
-
Individuals with symptoms of hormonal imbalance
-
Men experiencing low libido, ED, or fatigue
-
Women with signs of excess androgens or menstrual irregularities
-
Anyone undergoing hormone replacement therapy or evaluation
