Comparing 8 Home Low Testosterone Tests and At-Home Hormone Tests

Of the eight home low testosterone tests and hormone tests readily available online, the questions I’m asked more than any other: what works? and how well? And should I just eat two Brazil Nuts a day if I think my testosterone level and selenium levels are low? And can women use them accurately too?

I decided to review each test briefly, and list them here alphabetically: there is a link to each one. They use different methods, not all are available nationwide, and the laboratories that offer them have varied track records.  Note: Free T is measured in saliva, and total T is measured in plasma (pinprick), and yes, of course, some of these–the best ones– can be useful for women.  I recommend two choices, which should optimally be combined, at the end.

If results are positive, you will have a consultation with one of the doctors in their 3rd party physician network as a courtesy and will get medication as well which will be at no cost…which seems a little odd to me.
