Comprehensive evaluation of hormonal and metabolic factors affecting male hair loss and hair health. Assesses dihydrotestosterone (DHT), testosterone, thyroid function, iron status, zinc, vitamin D, and other nutrients essential for hair follicle function. Helps identify hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic factors contributing to male pattern hair loss.
Male pattern hair loss is rarely about one factor, and this panel is built to separate the hormonal drivers from the nutritional and metabolic ones. The androgen markers — DHT (total and free), DHEA-Sulfate, SHBG, and sensitive estradiol — reveal how much of your testosterone is being converted to DHT, the hormone most closely tied to follicle miniaturization, while the thyroid group (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies) checks for the underactive or autoimmune thyroid states that commonly cause diffuse shedding. Iron status (ferritin, iron/TIBC) plus vitamin D, magnesium, and a CBC address the nutritional deficiencies that undercut follicle function even when hormones look normal. Because CRP, GGT, insulin, and the lipid/ApoB markers are included, you also see whether inflammation or metabolic strain may be contributing. Rather than guessing whether your shedding is androgen-driven, thyroid-related, or nutrient-based, one blood draw gives you the full picture so you can target the actual cause with your clinician — and it's more convenient and typically better value than ordering these 26 markers piecemeal.
For athletes & active people
Active adults are especially prone to two hair-relevant issues this panel catches: low ferritin from heavy training and sweat losses, and thyroid or cortisol shifts under high training load — both of which can drive shedding independent of genetics. The metabolic and inflammatory markers (insulin, CRP, ApoB, lipids) also double as useful recovery and long-term health indicators, so the panel serves broader athlete monitoring beyond hair alone.
