Why this panel

80+ biomarkers, built specifically as a pre-TRT workup — the hormone axis, safety markers and general health baseline together.

💡 What most people missGet this before your first injection, not after. Once you start, you can never obtain a true baseline again, and the two numbers most likely to force you off therapy later — hematocrit and PSA — are meaningless without a pre-treatment value to compare against.
⏰ When to get it drawnMorning, 7–10am, fasted. Use the same conditions for all future monitoring.

✓ How to read the resultsRead this in the order a prescriber will. Testosterone first — but two morning draws on separate days, because a single low reading reclassifies in a meaningful share of men and one number is not a diagnosis. Then the two that decide whether you can stay on therapy: haematocrit (near the top of range before you start is a caution flag, because testosterone pushes it higher) and PSA (this value is the baseline every future result is compared against — monitoring is entirely velocity-based, so without it there is no velocity). Then LH and FSH, which separate a testicular problem from a pituitary one and decide whether fertility-preserving options are even available to you. Save the whole report somewhere permanent — this is the one panel you can never take again.
