What’s included

Hormones, thyroid, iron and vitamin D

These biomarkers are included in your health assessment. Select a biomarker to see what it measures.

Iron Profile
Ferritin is the main iron-storage protein and is commonly used to assess iron stores. A low level usually supports iron deficiency, while inflammation, infection and some other conditions can raise ferritin.
Serum iron measures iron circulating in the blood, most of which is carried by transferrin. Levels can vary during the day and with recent intake, so the result is interpreted with other iron markers.
TIBC reflects how much iron could be carried by transferrin if its available binding sites were filled. It is interpreted with serum iron and transferrin saturation when assessing iron status.

UIBC measures the amount of transferrin binding capacity that is not currently occupied by iron. It is used with other iron tests to assess iron status.
Transferrin saturation shows the percentage of available transferrin binding sites that are occupied by iron. Low levels can support iron deficiency, while high levels may occur with iron overload.
FSH
FSH is produced by the pituitary gland. In women it supports ovarian follicle development, and in men it supports sperm production. Levels vary with age, the menstrual cycle and reproductive stage.
LH
LH is produced by the pituitary gland. In women it helps regulate the menstrual cycle and triggers ovulation; in men it stimulates the testes to produce testosterone. Levels are interpreted in the context of sex, age and reproductive stage.
Oestradiol
Oestradiol is the main form of oestrogen during the reproductive years. It plays an important role in the menstrual cycle, reproductive function and bone health. Levels naturally vary across the menstrual cycle and different life stages.
Advanced Testosterone Profile
Total testosterone measures both protein-bound and unbound testosterone in the blood. Testosterone is an androgen hormone involved in reproductive and sexual function, as well as muscle and bone health in both men and women.
Free testosterone is the small fraction of testosterone that is not bound to proteins. It is often calculated from total testosterone, SHBG and albumin and can provide additional information when total testosterone is difficult to interpret on its own.
SHBG is a protein made mainly by the liver that binds testosterone and oestradiol in the blood. Changes in SHBG can affect the relationship between total hormone levels and the amount that is unbound.
The Free Androgen Index is calculated from total testosterone and SHBG. It can add context to androgen assessment, particularly in women, but is interpreted alongside the other hormone results rather than on its own.
Albumin is the main protein made by the liver. It helps keep fluid within blood vessels and carries hormones, medicines and other substances through the bloodstream. Low levels can occur for several reasons and are interpreted with other results.
Prolactin
Prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates breast milk production. Higher levels outside pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect menstrual cycles, fertility and sexual function, and may also be influenced by stress or some medicines.
Basic Thyroid Profile
TSH is made by the pituitary gland and signals the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones. It is usually interpreted together with FT4 to assess how the thyroid is functioning.
FT4 measures the unbound fraction of thyroxine (T4), one of the main hormones produced by the thyroid. It is interpreted alongside TSH to assess thyroid function.
Vitamin D
This test measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the main circulating form used to assess vitamin D status. Vitamin D supports calcium absorption and is important for healthy bones and normal muscle function.

You’ll see each result, with a doctor’s note, in the myGP app.

About this test

Is this test right for me?

This test measures reproductive hormones alongside thyroid function, iron status and vitamin D, providing a broader view of factors that may be relevant to menstrual health and wellbeing. Because hormone levels naturally vary throughout the menstrual cycle, results should be interpreted in the context of cycle timing, symptoms and medical history, and best discussed with your doctor.
