This panel measures 26 markers linked to hair health, including nutritional status (Vitamin D, ferritin, iron, magnesium), thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies), and a broad hormone profile (DHEA-S, testosterone-related DHT, estradiol, SHBG, cortisol, prolactin, progesterone, FSH/LH), plus inflammation and general health screens (CRP, CBC, lipids, urinalysis, GGT, insulin). It's designed for health-conscious adults and athletes who want to investigate the common internal contributors to hair thinning or shedding rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
Hair changes are often downstream of internal factors, and this panel targets the ones most frequently involved: iron and ferritin (a common contributor to shedding, especially in menstruating and endurance athletes), thyroid function (both under- and over-active thyroid can affect the hair cycle), and androgen-pattern signals like DHT and SHBG that relate to pattern hair loss. Grouping these together matters because the same symptom can stem from different causes — low ferritin, an underactive thyroid, elevated DHT, or a nutritional gap like Vitamin D — and testing them side by side helps distinguish which pathway is most relevant to you. Cortisol, DHEA-S, prolactin, and the reproductive hormones (FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone) add context around stress load and hormonal balance that can influence the hair cycle. Inflammation and metabolic markers (CRP, CBC, insulin, lipids, GGT) round out a general health picture, since systemic issues can show up in hair before elsewhere. With results in hand, you and a clinician can identify whether a correctable deficiency, a thyroid pattern, or a hormonal factor is worth addressing. Bundling all of this into a single blood draw is more convenient and typically better value than ordering these specialized tests — some requiring LC/MS/MS-level sensitivity — individually.
For athletes & active people
Athletes are particularly prone to some of the drivers this panel screens for: iron and ferritin depletion is common with heavy training and in endurance and female athletes, and chronic high training load can influence cortisol, thyroid, and reproductive hormones. Tracking ferritin, thyroid, and hormone markers alongside recovery-relevant inputs like Vitamin D and inflammation can help you catch a correctable cause of shedding while also flagging patterns that affect energy, adaptation, and long-term health.
