Many men and women in the UK experience symptoms every day, such as unexplained tiredness, decreased motivation, low mood, or reduced libido. While stress and busy lifestyles often take the blame, sometimes the real culprit is a hormonal imbalance—especially low testosterone.
Testosterone isn't just about muscles and libido—it's vital for:
The body produces testosterone in two forms: most is 'bound' to proteins, but free testosterone (the unbound, bioavailable form) is what your body can actually use. That's why measuring free testosterone is often more helpful than total testosterone alone.
Common signs of low free testosterone include:
Some men may need medical assessment or treatment for persistently low testosterone. For personalised advice, speak to your GP or healthcare provider. Learn more about testosterone and health on the NHS website.

Testosterone levels usually decline gradually from age 30 onwards, but symptoms can be experienced at any age in adulthood.
Weight training, quality sleep, a balanced diet, and reducing stress have all shown positive effects on testosterone. However, if you have symptoms, it's a good idea to check your levels and see a GP.
Our home blood test is easy to use, and most people find the finger-prick kit straightforward. Clear instructions are provided, and support is available if needed.
