Testosterone Level Assessment
Testosterone is a hormone is vital for muscle mass, bone density, hair growth, energy, and mood as well as sexual and reproductive development.

In males, it is produced primarily by the testicles. In females, it is produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Your level of testosterone will vary depending on your age, sex, genetics, and environmental factors.
What conditions can testosterone levels help identify?
Males – low testosterone levels can cause erectile dysfunction, infertility, and low sex drive.
Females – high testosterone levels can cause acne, excess hair, and irregular periods.
The advantage of hair testing for testosterone levels?
Blood and saliva samples reflect current levels in the body. Hormones can fluctuate throughout the day, or at different times of the menstrual cycle. Hair analysis provides a retrospective blended average of free testosterone available to the body over a period of up to 3 months. This technique provides a longer-term perspective that can allow for a better assessment of insufficiency.
Fee: $120.00* (Included with the test is a 15-minute phone or video appointment to review the findings)
*Tax not included, an extra 13% GST will be added.

As both the Mineral/toxic metal tests and testosterone and cortisol tests utilize a hair sample, you may wish to do them all at the same time rather than submitting separate hair samples.
How to properly obtain a hair sample:
Points to remember:
-
The desired hair sample should be from recent hair growth, approximately 1.5" starting from the scalp or nape of the neck.
-
An adequate amount if hair is required for a sample - it should be enough to loosely cover a 1.5" by 1.5" square.
