    Male Hormone Test Kit (PROFILE I) is for accurately testing the following six essential hormones: 

    1. Estradiol (estrogen) (E2),
    2. Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA),
    3. Testosterone (T),
    4. DHEAS (DS),
    5. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG),
    6. Cortisol (C).

      Test Result: You will receive your test result 3-5 working days after the laboratory receives your sample. You will see your hormone levels in graphics and numbers on your test results. You will also see laboratory comments by Hormone Specialist PhD Dr in the comments: you will find an analysis of your hormone levels and what to do next.

      • Collect samples from the comfort of your home and post them to our lab.
      • The test must be used within 12 months after the purchase date.
      • The test kit includes a laboratory fee: no additional laboratory cost or tax.
      • Customers are responsible for shipping their samples to the laboratory. 

      Testosterone is the primary male hormone, and as men age, the levels of testosterone decrease. But age is not the only reason for a decline in testosterone levels; overtraining can also reduce levels. 

      This test can allow you to track your hormone levels and understand how they change over time or in response to dietary and exercise changes. Tracking your hormone levels over time can also tell you whether your hormone levels are decreasing with age.

        If you are experiencing any or a combination of those, it’s worth checking your hormone level imbalance using our comprehensive Male Blood Spot hormone test. 
        This test will enable you to find out about your hormone levels and, if necessary, take further action, such as seeing your doctor, changing your diet and exercising.

        Why Profiles?

        When patients have hormone-related symptoms, it is usually not a clear-cut case of one hormone level being abnormal or even one hormone system. In fact, because hormones play a role as chemical messengers to wake up the genome in specific target tissues throughout the body, it makes sense that all hormone systems work together to maintain a balance. This could be likened to the instruments in an orchestra playing together in harmony; when one instrument is off-key or playing too loudly or softly (analogous to too much or too little hormone), the overall harmony is affected. In a similar manner, the adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormones work in harmony, and when one or more of the hormones in any one system becomes unbalanced, this affects the harmony or balance of the whole system. Symptoms common to hormonal imbalances in the endocrine systems are seen as the body struggles to maintain balance but fails. Without an overall picture of which hormone systems are affected, it is often difficult to know the best clinical course of action for correcting the imbalance. Hormone “Profiles” at ZRT are multiple hormone tests bundled into one convenient kit. Priced lower than the sum of the individual tests, these provide a more economical method to assess a patient’s overall hormonal status, giving a better picture of the hormone imbalances causing symptoms. Instead of treating a secondary hormonal imbalance caused by an abnormality in only one of the hormonal systems (e.g., low libido caused by low testosterone), you can address the underlying issues at the root of the problem and, therefore, better guide your patients towards overall wellness.

        The Problem with Andropause and Low Testosterone 

        As men age, their testosterone levels begin to decline, usually around the mid-40s. This heralds what is commonly known as andropause, the male counterpart to menopause. While this is a natural part of ageing, the decline in testosterone production by the testes can be more precipitous in some men than others. Excessive weight gain, stress, lack of exercise, and many medications further contribute to a man’s ability to manufacture testosterone, resulting in even lower testosterone levels and leading to symptoms of andropause. These symptoms may include low libido, irritability, depression, loss of muscle mass and strength, weight gain, metabolic syndrome, erectile dysfunction, sleep disturbances, osteoporosis, and adverse changes in the blood lipid profile. Symptoms of androgen deficiency and low testosterone levels are used to establish a diagnosis of hypogonadism. This low testosterone condition was found to increase significantly with age in the Massachusetts Male Ageing Study. In the Hypogonadism in Males (HIM) study, hypogonadism was diagnosed in 38.7% of men over 45 years old who presented to primary care offices. However, while this is certainly an option, the solution to the problem may not be a simple case of restoring testosterone levels. For example, some practitioners find that testosterone therapy may be of little benefit unless issues affecting cortisol production are addressed first. The body’s response to stress is mediated by increased cortisol production, which prepares the body for “fight or flight” by shutting down other processes, including testosterone production. Correcting disorders such as adrenal fatigue or chronic stress may lead to improved testosterone levels and resolve symptoms without requiring testosterone therapy. Increasing cortisol levels and several other endocrine changes have been reported in men, highlighting the need to obtain a complete hormone profile before initiating any hormone replacement.
