Male Hormone Profile

There is a growing awareness that hormone function plays a vital role in a man’s health over the course of his lifetime. The Male Hormone Profile is a convenient, reliable, non-invasive test that assesses testosterone levels and the relationship of stress on this hormone. Another vital hormone, Melatonin, is also analysed. Melatonin influences, or can be influenced by, imbalanced stress and testosterone levels. Changes in the production of the sex hormone Testosterone can exert a profound influence on sexual function (impotence and erectile dysfunction), bone density, fat metabolism, mood state, energy levels and physical appearance, such as skin and muscle tone.

There are many symptoms that may cause you to investigate the hormones tested in this profile. The list below covers just a few of these:
