Men's Hormone Profile - avi: Alle Details zum Test
Welche Vorteile bietet dieser Test für mich?
Welche Vorteile bietet dieser Test für mich?
Hormones regulate energy, muscle strength, libido, and mental performance. Even small imbalances can cause fatigue, weight gain, potency problems, or mood swings – but often go unnoticed for a long time. The Men's Hormone Profile helps you clearly understand your hormone status and take timely countermeasures.
Measured are:
- Testosterone (total & free): Central sex hormone for energy, libido, and muscle building.
- SHBG & Albumin: Regulate the amount of biologically active testosterone.
- DHEA-S: Precursor hormone, important for metabolism, energy, and hormone balance.
- FSH & LH: Control fertility and testosterone production.
- Prolactin: Influences libido and hormone balance when elevated.
- TSH: Thyroid value, central for energy, metabolism, and well-being.
Your benefits: Easy sampling at home, professional analysis in a specialized laboratory, and clear results that help you actively manage your health and performance.
Was bedeuten die gemessenen Werte?

Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone, predominantly produced in the testes and in smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands. It promotes the development of male sexual characteristics, muscle and bone growth, as well as the formation of red blood cells. In women, testosterone also plays a role in energy, mood, and libido.
Too low levels can lead to fatigue, lack of drive, reduced libido, and muscle loss in men. Too high levels are less common but can occur with hormone-producing tumors or through the intake of steroids.
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)
SHBG (Sex hormone-binding globulin) is a protein produced in the liver that binds sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen in the blood. This regulates how much of these hormones are free and thus biologically active.
High SHBG levels mean that less free testosterone or estrogen is available, which can occur in liver diseases or overactive thyroid conditions. Low levels lead to more free hormone and occur, for example, in cases of obesity, diabetes, or underactive thyroid conditions.
Lutropin (LH)
LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is produced in the pituitary gland and controls important reproductive processes. In women, a sudden increase in LH in the middle of the cycle triggers ovulation. In men, LH stimulates the testes to produce testosterone.
Deviating LH levels can indicate disorders of the ovaries, testes, or the hormonal control centers in the brain. The LH test is often used in cases of unfulfilled desire for children or in cycle and puberty disorders.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in the development of mammary glands and milk production after birth. Even outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding, prolactin can be detected in the blood.
Elevated prolactin levels can lead to menstrual cycle disorders, infertility, or milk flow without pregnancy. In men, elevated levels often manifest as potency disorders or reduced sexual drive. Low levels are rare and usually of little significance.
TSH
TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone) is produced in the pituitary gland and regulates the activity of the thyroid gland. It stimulates the thyroid to produce the hormones T3 and T4, which influence metabolism and many body functions.
High TSH levels usually indicate an underactive thyroid, as the body tries to boost hormone production. Low TSH levels, on the other hand, suggest an overactive thyroid.
Albumin
Albumin is the most common protein in blood plasma and is produced in the liver. It retains fluid in the vascular system and transports vitamins, enzymes, and hormones.
A deficiency may be caused by liver or kidney diseases, inflammation, or poor protein supply. High albumin levels occur with fluid loss or a very high-protein diet. Since albumin also reflects the nutritional situation, persistently low levels indicate insufficient protein intake and an increased risk of muscle weakness or infections.
DHEA-S
DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is a hormone primarily produced in the adrenal cortex. It serves as a precursor for male and female sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. The concentration is highest in young adulthood and decreases with age.
Deviating values can indicate disorders of the adrenal glands or hormonal balance. Elevated values occur, for example, in certain tumors or hormonal hyperfunctions, while low values may indicate adrenal insufficiency.
Testosterone, free (calculated)
Free testosterone is the portion of the hormone that is not bound to proteins like SHBG or albumin and can thus be directly effective in the body. It constitutes only a small fraction of the total testosterone but is crucial for biological effects, such as on muscle strength, bone stability, sexual function, and mood.
If SHBG is significantly increased or decreased, the total testosterone value can give a misleading picture. In such cases, free testosterone is calculated to better assess whether there is indeed a hormone deficiency or excess.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is produced in the pituitary gland and plays a central role in fertility. In women, it stimulates the maturation of follicles in the ovaries, while in men, it supports the production of sperm in the testes.
Elevated FSH levels may indicate that the ovaries or testes are no longer functioning adequately, as is the case during menopause, for example. Low levels are more indicative of a disorder in the pituitary gland or the overarching hormonal system.

FAQ - Weitere häufig gestellte Fragen zum Test
What is examined in the Men's Hormone Profile?
The test measures key hormone levels: Testosterone (total & free), SHBG, Albumin, DHEA-S, FSH, LH, Prolactin and TSH. This provides you with a comprehensive overview of your hormone status.
Who is this test suitable for?
The Men's Hormone Profile is ideal for men who want to check their performance, libido, energy, or fertility or notice symptoms of a hormone imbalance.
How does the sample collection work?
The sample collection is simple and painless via capillary blood from the fingertip. A test kit with clear instructions allows you to perform it conveniently from home.
How long does it take to receive my results?
After sending the sample to the specialized laboratory, you will typically receive your lab results digitally within 3–5 business days.
What does the testosterone level say about my health?
Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone. It influences muscle strength, libido, and energy. Low levels can promote fatigue, weight gain, and lack of drive.
Why are SHBG and albumin measured?
SHBG and albumin determine how much testosterone is freely available in the blood. This allows the biologically active portion – free testosterone – to be calculated.
What role do DHEA-S, FSH, LH, and prolactin play?
DHEA-S is a precursor hormone for testosterone. FSH and LH regulate fertility and testosterone production. Prolactin influences libido and hormone balance, elevated levels can cause disorders.
What is the significance of TSH?
TSH regulates the thyroid gland and thus metabolism, energy, and mental performance. Deviations can cause fatigue, weight fluctuations, or nervousness.
What happens if my values are outside the reference range?
If there are noticeable results, you should discuss them with a doctor. This way, further examinations can be conducted, and appropriate measures to restore hormonal balance can be initiated.
