Men's Hormone Panel - Quest

This panel measures the key hormones that influence male vitality — including total and free testosterone (by dialysis/mass spectrometry), estradiol, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), IGF-1, and SHBG — alongside PSA and foundational health markers like a lipid panel, comprehensive metabolic panel, and complete blood count. It's designed for health-conscious adults and athletes who want a detailed picture of their hormonal status together with the metabolic and organ-health context needed to interpret it.

Why order this panel

expand_more

Testosterone rarely tells the full story on its own: SHBG determines how much of your testosterone is actually bioavailable, which is why this panel pairs total testosterone with a free-testosterone measurement by equilibrium dialysis — the most accurate method — rather than an estimate. Estradiol (ultrasensitive LC/MS) and DHT reveal how testosterone is being converted downstream, helping explain symptoms like low energy, poor recovery, changes in libido, or mood even when total testosterone looks normal. IGF-1 reflects growth-hormone activity relevant to tissue repair and body composition, while PSA provides an age-appropriate prostate-health baseline. The lipid panel, comprehensive metabolic panel, and CBC add cardiovascular, kidney, liver, glucose, and blood-count context — factors that both affect and are affected by hormonal balance. Ordered individually, the specialized mass-spectrometry assays here are expensive and inconvenient to coordinate; combining them into a single blood draw gives you a coherent, interpretable snapshot and a baseline you can track over time. The result is actionable information you can review with a clinician to guide lifestyle, training, or further evaluation.

For athletes & active people

For athletes and physically active people, these markers speak directly to recovery, adaptation, and training capacity: chronically heavy training loads can suppress testosterone and shift SHBG, while IGF-1 and free testosterone reflect your anabolic and repair environment. Tracking estradiol and DHT alongside them helps distinguish healthy hormonal balance from patterns associated with overreaching or under-recovery. Combined with lipid, metabolic, and blood-count data, this panel supports both performance goals and long-term health monitoring.

What is included in the Men's Hormone Panel - Quest?

Men's Hormone Panel - Quest includes 9 biomarkers: Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Testosterone, Free (Dialysis) and Total, MS, PSA, Total, Lipid Panel, Standard, IGF-1, LC/MS, Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS, Dihydrotestosterone, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, CBC (includes Differential and Platelets).

Why would I order the Men's Hormone Panel - Quest panel?

Testosterone rarely tells the full story on its own: SHBG determines how much of your testosterone is actually bioavailable, which is why this panel pairs total testosterone with a free-testosterone measurement by equilibrium dialysis — the most accurate method — rather than an estimate.

Do I need to fast before the Men's Hormone Panel - Quest panel?

Fasting is recommended before the Men's Hormone Panel - Quest panel: fast 9 to 12 hours beforehand (water is fine) so the results are usable. This is not a requirement; it is your choice.

How long do Men's Hormone Panel - Quest results take?

Results for the Men's Hormone Panel - Quest panel are typically ready about 11 days after your draw, and up to 15 days for some samples. Your results land in your Insider portal.

Do I need a doctor's order for the Men's Hormone Panel - Quest panel?

No. When you order the Men's Hormone Panel - Quest 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.
