Specialized panel for evaluating hormonal and nutritional factors contributing to female hair loss and hair health. Assesses thyroid function, sex hormones (estradiol, testosterone, DHEA-S), iron status, zinc, vitamin D, and other nutrients critical for hair follicle health. Helps identify hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic factors affecting hair growth.
Hair thinning and shedding rarely have a single cause, which is why this panel looks at the three systems most often involved together: thyroid function (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies), sex and adrenal hormones (estradiol, DHT, DHEA-S, testosterone-related SHBG, progesterone, prolactin, FSH/LH), and the nutrient status that follicles depend on (ferritin, iron/TIBC, vitamin D, magnesium). Iron and ferritin are especially relevant because low stores are a common and correctable contributor to diffuse shedding, while an under- or over-active thyroid can alter hair growth cycles in ways a single TSH rarely explains. DHT and SHBG help clarify whether androgen sensitivity may be playing a role in pattern thinning. Markers like CRP, GGT, insulin, and a full CBC and urinalysis add context on inflammation, metabolic health, and general status that can indirectly affect hair. Reviewing these results side by side helps you and your clinician distinguish a nutritional gap from a hormonal shift rather than guessing, and points toward specific, testable next steps. Bundling all 26 markers into one blood draw is more convenient and typically better value than ordering these specialized hormone and nutrient tests piecemeal.
For athletes & active people
Endurance and high-volume training can quietly deplete iron and ferritin and shift thyroid and reproductive hormones under heavy energy demands, all of which may show up as increased hair shedding alongside fatigue or stalled recovery. For active adults, this panel can help flag whether low iron stores, low-energy-availability hormonal changes, or inflammation are affecting both your hair and your training adaptation. It is not a performance panel per se, but the underlying markers overlap meaningfully with recovery and long-term health.

Fasting is recommended before the Advanced Hair - Related Lab Panel: fast at least 8 hours beforehand (water is fine) so the results are usable. This is not a requirement; it is your choice.
Results for the Advanced Hair - Related Lab Panel are typically ready about 14 days after your draw, and up to 19 days for some samples. Your results land in your Insider portal.
No. When you order the Advanced Hair - Related Lab Panel from Fitomics Research Labs, a licensed physician in our 50-state network reviews and signs your requisition after checkout, and it lands in your portal and inbox. Then visit any Labcorp, Quest, or BioReference patient service center for your draw; results post to your Insider portal.
