The Antimullerian Hormone (AMH Plus) test measures the level of AMH in the blood. AMH is a hormone produced by the ovaries in females and the testes in males.

In females, the AMH Plus test is primarily used to assess ovarian reserve, which refers to the number and quality of eggs remaining in the ovaries. It helps in predicting the response to fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Low levels of AMH may indicate a decreased ovarian reserve, while high levels may suggest polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or ovarian tumors.

In males, AMH is involved in the development of male reproductive organs. The AMH Plus test can be used to evaluate testicular function and diagnose conditions such as undescended testicles, disorders of sexual development, and testicular tumors.

It is important to consider that the reference ranges for AMH levels may vary depending on the age and reproductive stage of the individual.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Anti-Müllerian Hormone

The Hepatitis B Profile includes tests for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) and Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc)

Someone may have this test done for several reasons:

• Screening: It is commonly used to screen individuals who may be at risk of Hepatitis B infection, such as healthcare workers, pregnant women, or individuals with a history of high-risk behaviors (e.g., intravenous drug use, unprotected sex).
• Diagnosis: The test helps in diagnosing acute or chronic Hepatitis B infection by detecting the presence of HBsAg and other antibodies.
• Monitoring: It is used to monitor the progression and treatment response of Hepatitis B infection. Changes in the levels of HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, and HBeAg can provide valuable information about the stage and activity of the infection.
• Vaccination status: The test can determine if someone has developed immunity against Hepatitis B after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine.
• Liver function assessment: Hepatitis B infection can cause liver damage, and this test can help assess the overall liver function by measuring liver enzymes and other markers associated with the infection.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Hepatitis B Core Antibody – Total, Hepatitis B Surface antigen, Hepatitis B Surface Antibody

This complete profile analyses the range of hormones that affect every aspect of a man’s health and wellness. Everything from energy, strength, concentration, mood, libido, to muscle strength and bone health is dependent on these hormones being at the right level and in balance.

Testosterone and all the other essential hormones steadily reduce after the age of 30 with rapidly accelerating loss later in life – particularly from 60.

The optimum levels needed for maximum male health and wellness are debated but whatever you decide about treatment, you need to start with understanding and monitoring these hormones.

All of these hormones exist in both men and women but in very different concentrations and have very different functions if you are male.

Testosterone we all know is directly associated with most of the a man’s physical characteristics of bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength and it is also essential in the production of red blood cells and sperm.

A small amount of testosterone is converted to oestradiol which is also essential for healthy libido, erectile function and making sperm.

Prolactin has a vital role in balancing the production of testosterone.

LH also is essential to producing testosterone while FSH stimulates sperm production

DHEAS is essential to make testosterone and this oestradiol in men in the first place, and SHBG manages how much testosterone can be useful to all your tissues.

The complex interplay between all these hormones is responsible for so much there is to being a healthy man, physically and mentally.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Albumin, Free Androgen Index, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Free Testosterone Calculation, DHEA-Sulphate, Testosterone, Prolactin, Follicular Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Oestradiol (E2)

This comprehensive profile checks for health indicators which can contribute to erectile dysfunction and male impotence.

It is estimated that 48% of men experience difficulty in getting or maintaining an erection on at least some occasions. While the majority of the time there are psychological causes for this, it is vital to exclude physical causes as these causes may be due to a serious underlying illness – and can often be treated to reduce the effects of impotency.

The main categories of causes are problems with circulation and hormonal.

This profile checks for all the major causes of circulatory problems and checks the relevant hormones.

Testosterone, SHBG and Prolactin hormone levels, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone.

Diabetes can cause circulation problems as well as nerve damage so Glucose and HbA1c levels are included along with a full cholesterol profile.

A Prostate Specific Antigen level checks for indications of possible problems with the prostate which can also result in impotence.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Low Density Lipoprotein, Triglyceride, Albumin, Cholesterol – Total, HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Non-HDL-Cholesterol, Free Testosterone Calculation, Testosterone, Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio, Prolactin, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, HDL percentage, Prostate Specific Antigen

The Female Hormone Profile is a test that analyses the levels of specific hormones in a woman’s body that help regulate various functions in the body, including the menstrual cycle, fertility, and overall health.

This test specifically focuses on hormones that are important for female reproductive health, such as oestrogen, luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, testosterone and prolactin.

By measuring these hormone levels, this profile can give valuable information about your hormonal balance and overall reproductive health.

It can help identify any hormonal imbalances that may be causing irregular periods, fertility issues, or other reproductive problems.

Additionally, this test can also be used to monitor hormone levels during hormone replacement therapy or to assess the effectiveness of certain medications.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Testosterone, Prolactin, Follicular Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Oestradiol (E2)

Vitamin deficiencies can be the cause of a wide range of common symptoms and conditions.

Vitamin B12 is particularly important for those on a plant-based diet. Low levels of Vitamin B12 and Folate can have very severe effects on blood and overall health.

Vitamin D is also very important for anyone living in the UK. Up to a quarter of the population is low in Vitamin D at the end of winter. Low levels can cause a long list of health problems including fatigue, bone & muscle pain, depression and more.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Folate, Vitamin D (25-OH), Vitamin B12

This comprehensive test checks the full function of your thyroid gland. It includes central thyroid gland regulation and activity, thyroid production and secretion, peripheral thyroid conversion, and thyroid autoimmunity.

Over 4% of people currently have low thyroid function and do not know about it. It is a notoriously difficult condition to diagnose by symptoms or medical examination.

It is a blood test that gives you a definitive answer and can potentially avoid months, and often years, of unexplained tiredness, weight gain, dry hair, constipation, menstrual problems, depression, anxiety, and more. If your thyroid is overactive there is a whole other set of problems that need treating.

At least 1 in every 8 women will have problems with their thyroid function during their lifetime.

Thyroid stimulating hormone, free T4 and free T3 check the function of your thyroid and thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies check whether you have an autoimmune condition (known as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) which can be causing your thyroid not to function as it should.

This test is essential for anyone who wants to know more about their thyroid function.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Free T4 (thyroxine), Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies, Antithyroglobulin Antibodies, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Free T3 (triiodothyronine)

The Prostate Profile (Total & Free PSA) test is a blood test that measures the levels of two substances in your blood called prostate-specific antigens (PSA). PSA is produced by the prostate gland, which is a small organ in men located below the bladder.

This test has commonly been used to help detect prostate cancer. It is also very useful to monitor known prostate cancer cases.

This test measures two types of PSA: total PSA and free PSA. Total PSA refers to the overall amount of PSA in your blood, while free PSA refers to the amount of PSA that is not bound to other proteins. By comparing the levels of total and free PSA, doctors can get a better understanding of the likelihood of prostate cancer.

High PSA levels can be caused by ejaculating and other conditions, such as a benignly enlarged prostate or inflammation of the prostate.

You need to wait 48 hours after ejaculation before testing to avoid getting a high level due to this.

It is important to remember that this test is not very reliable. It does help with identifying cases of prostate cancer – and this is particularly true when men test themselves regularly and see increases over time, but there are many times when a high level is investigated and no cancer is found and other times when cancer is present with a normal PSA level.

Therefore, this test is not a definitive diagnosis for prostate cancer, but rather a tool to help doctors assess the risk and determine if further testing or monitoring is necessary.

It is often recommended for men over the age of 50 or those with a family history of prostate cancer to have a PSA done regularly and check for any changes in levels.

A PSA test (and a visit to a doctor) will be recommended If you have any symptoms of prostate problems such as

• Frequent urge to urinate.
• Need to get up many times during the night to urinate.
• Blood in urine or semen.
• Pain or burning urination.
• Painful ejaculation.
• Frequent pain or stiffness in lower back, hips, pelvic or rectal area, or upper thighs.
• Dribbling of urine.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Free Total PSA Ratio, Prostate Specific Antigen, Free Prostate Specific Antigen

This profile analyses some of the major risk factors for heart problems.

This profile will tell you if you have diabetes (HbA1c) – there are over 1 million people with diabetes who do not know they have it. Finding out will enable you to make the lifestyle changes and start treatments that will significantly lengthen your life and improve how you feel every day.

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels which is a very significant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to detect if you have high cholesterol is through a blood test. It will enable you to make the changes you need to reduce your risk of some of the most common causes of death.

Generalised inflammation is tested with a high sensitivity C-reactive protein level. Firstly, Inflammation is bad for your heart. A high CRP level can also indicate the presence of a very wide range of other health problems like autoimmune disease, bacterial infections, osteomyelitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Low Density Lipoprotein, Triglyceride, Cholesterol – Total, HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin), Non-HDL-Cholesterol, Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio, High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol
